What reviewers say
RTINGS and Windows Central found the MX Anywhere 2S sturdy and easy to carry, with flexible connections and useful scrolling. Both noted its limited comfort for larger hands and the missing receiver storage. Windows Central also found the clicks loud and Darkfield tracking unreliable on a hotel glass table.
