What reviewers say

RTINGS, TechRadar and Laptop Mag found the MX Anywhere 3 well built, portable and precise on a wide range of surfaces. All three liked its fast scroll wheel and device flexibility, but noted that the small shape is less comfortable for larger hands or a palm grip. They also missed a storage slot for the receiver.
