Our Verdict
Logitech MX Master 3
Logitech Marathon Mouse M705
The Logitech MX Master 3 is a better mouse than the Logitech Marathon Mouse M705. The MX Master 3 has a better build quality, Bluetooth support, a sensor that works on glass, and a larger thumb rest with a gesture control button. It also has both a vertical and horizontal scroll wheel, and you can unlock the vertical wheel manually or automatically for free-scrolling. On the other hand, the M705 is still a very good office mouse, but it only connects via a USB receiver, and you can only toggle free-scrolling manually. That said, it's well suited for all hand sizes, depending on grip type, and its smaller form factor is more portable than the MX Master 3.
