Our Verdict
Logitech MX Master 2S
Logitech MX Master
The Logitech MX Master and the Logitech MX Master 2S are remarkable office mice from the same lineup. The Master 2S is an updated version with an improved sensor. It has both a lower minimum CPI, a much higher maximum CPI, and a set CPI that's more adjustable with steps of 50 compared to 200 with the original. Unfortunately, it still has a very low, fixed polling rate of 125Hz. The 2S also claims a much longer battery life, but this isn't something we test.
