Our Verdict

Logitech MX Anywhere 2S

Logitech M525

The Logitech MX Anywhere 2S is a better travel mouse than the Logitech M525. It's lighter, it feels sturdier and more comfortable, and it connects wirelessly with a USB receiver or via Bluetooth. It also has two side buttons, a scroll wheel that unlocks for free scrolling, and the newest version of Logitech companion software compatible with Windows and macOS. On the other hand, the M525 only connects with a USB receiver, but it has onboard storage space for it when it isn't in use. Both mice are best-suited for fingertip grip with most hand sizes.
