ABOUT MX ANYWHERE 2
Logitech MX Anywhere 2 Wireless mobile mouse is a lightweight wireless mouse that sets new
standards for performance and precision in a mouse you can take with you.
Connect with up to three devices using Logitech’s tiniest receiver—the Pico Unifying™ receiver—
or Bluetooth® Smart wireless technology; then switch between your Mac, PC, or Microsoft Surface
with the touch of a button.
Use the scroll wheel to navigate in click-to-click mode or in a hyperfast mode that’s perfect for long
documents or web pages. Convenient back and forward buttons give you even greater control.
The compact MX Anywhere 2 is the ideal combination of comfort and portability—at home, at work,
and on the go. Darkfield™ Laser Tracking gives you flawless control on virtually any surface,
including glass (4 mm minimum thickness) and other high-gloss materials.
Unlock all the possibilities MX Anywhere 2 offers by installing Logitech Options™ software. In
addition to optimizing the mouse for your operating system, the software lets you customize MX
Anywhere 2 buttons and actions to fit your needs.
