Just a heads up. It looks like a discontinued mouse.

Well, no kidding. It was replaced by the MX Anywhere 3: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/pr...05985.html And really, the only real difference between the two being USB-C.

I still have a working one but this is tempting if they are discontinuing this model, I see the Anywhere 3 looks like the new one but not sure I will like it more than my 2s

Actually, the MX Anywhere 3 is marginally bigger in the hand, lighter in weight, USB-C charging, lower latency over Bluetooth and receiver, and has a silent magnetic scroll wheel. However, side-scrolling is not on the wheel, but can be activated with a programmable button. You can also find the MX Anywhere 3 on eBay for ~$60 new.

I've been using the Anywhere 2S for a few years now as programmer of factory automation equipment. I have zero complaints. Battery life is great and it's been super reliable. I travel a ton for work and toss it in bags with all sorts of other equipment. It's held up well.

If it weren't still great, I'd consider updating to the 3.

I just purchased M720 at Costco for $20. Would $25 more for this mouse justified? I think almost all features are same except recharge capability. I'm assuming the quality might be better on the 2S.

Anyone used both these mice and have an opinion?

Was looking to grab one of these since I can't find a replacement receiver for my VX Nano, it's my favorite mouse. I assume it's the same style scroll wheel?

I think in this specific case, it comes down to the feel of them in your hand. As someone who uses Logitech mice and trackballs exclusively, I use the M585 as my travel mouse and the only reason I picked it over the M720 was price. However, holy cow, I'm going to Costco to get one or two! But for the price, I'd stick with the 720.

A replacement receiver? Do you mean the Unified receiver that's USB?
If so, look on ebay, OfferUp, etc. They're cheap and plentiful.

The VX nano was before unifying receivers and the first to use the small form factor receiver (literally says nano receiver). Apparently there were a few iterations of the nano and they are difficult to come by, let alone finding one that was made for my mouse.

Guh…that stinks. As someone that gets attached to my input devices, you have my sympathy.

I was excited about his until I saw it was Best Buy. Terrible return policy.

This mouse sure keeps its value. I bought this mouse almost 3 years ago for $49 on Amazon. Price history is pretty stable one year after launch. https://urlhasbeenblocked/product/B071VK5KXN
