Our Verdict
Logitech MX Master 2S
Apple Magic Mouse 2
The Logitech MX Master 2S and the Apple Magic Mouse 2 are designed for different uses. The Logitech is an ergonomic and comfortable mouse for office use. It has a high back and a thumb rest which makes it most suitable for a palm or claw grip, and it has a freewheel feature and a thumbwheel for easier scrolling. While its ergonomic features make it larger and bulkier than the Apple, it isn't intended to be travel-friendly. On the other hand, the Apple is much more portable thanks to its slimmer shape, so it can easily slide into your laptop bag, which is great if you're often on the go. Unlike the Logitech, the Apple is intended for a fingertip grip only.
