Posted October 11, 2016 I was going to get a Logitech MX Master for school on black friday at Micro Center. I was wondering if there was a better option or if there was a better play to purchase it from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 11, 2016 well, since it is for school you might consider the MX Anywhere, since it is more portable. It lacks some of the buttons and the thumbwheel.

Posted October 12, 2016 I was recently looking for a mouse to use with my laptop too. I ended up choosing between the MX Master and MX Anywhere2. I went with the Anywhere2 because it is a lot smaller (and thus fits inside my bag a lot easier), and I prefer the thumb buttons. They are really small and weirdly placed on the Master. I recommend you go and check them both out in a store before ordering something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 8, 2016 I would highly recommend playing with the mouse some more. The fwd/back keys are very poorly placed (they are stacked diagonally on top of one another), and also placed back towards your wrist. This causes two issues: (1) hitting the desired key is more difficult because they are stacked on top of each other, and (2) you have to curl your thumb much further back to reach the keys. I'm also having issues with the side scroll. It's only about 60% responsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the knuckle on my thumb to hit them, and they work perfectly for me like that. I love them. Sad to hear about your side scroll wheel. I personally don't really use anything that would necessitate my having one, but I tested mine briefly in excel, and it seemed to work just fine.

I got one for me, and I'm keeping the other one until christmas to give to my mom, since the mouse that she has is one that she's been using for years, and could do with replacing.

I got one of those cases (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-910-004337-Protective-Hermitshell/dp/B01E5BAYWS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481334607&sr=8-1&keywords=mx+master+case) and it's a PERFECT fit for the mouse. And there's padding on the top and bottom, in addition to the fact that it's a hard(ish) shell case. I just throw the mouse in my backpack, and don't worry about it. It's a great setup! Oh, I also have pretty big hands, so I knew that the mx anywhere wouldn't fit my hands as well. Hey! New SIgnature!

I hate my G502's free scroll wheel...... it feels smooth physically, but when I use it in the browser, the browser does not scroll at a same speed... and you can feel the difference.... It is not comparable to trackpad on macbook..... If it is not broken, let's fix till it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even that big of a deal for me, I just leave the adapter plugged into my laptop 24/7. ? I just make sure to put it in my bag so that the adapter sticks up, rather than having the laptop rest on it. No biggie. It's just the last thing that would make the mouse absolutely perfect for me.
