Our Verdict

Logitech MX Master 2S

Logitech M720 Triathlon

While the Logitech M720 Triathlon is an excellent mouse for office or multimedia use, the Logitech MX Master 2S is likely a better option for most people, thanks partly to its more ergonomic and comfortable design. The MX Master 2S feels better built, has a thumbwheel, and its larger size may be a better choice if you have larger hands. However, the Triathlon may be the ideal option if you have smaller hands.
