Thank you for pointing out the differences between the two products - great review!. As a side note, for people that work from home and require switching between a work computer (usually a PC with security restrictions) and a personal computer (like a Mac), I would recommend the Logitech MX Anywhere 3 with the dongle option. Among the usual restrictions is that Bluetooth connections are limited or non-existent on the work computer so having a dongle is critical to have that connectivity. I hope Logitech comes out with a Logi dongle for their mice, so both the keyboard (MX Anywhere variants) and the mouse can work off of the same dongle.

Do you think the silicon will be sticky after a few months like what happens with the rubber on MX Master 3? I mean, the rubber degrades exactly where the tip of your ring rests on the mouse and it gets sticky 100% of the time, doesn't matter how much you clean it.

MX Anywhere 2 and MX Anywhere 3 as well as other logitech mouses used to have bluetooth issues when using with Apple laptops, on both Mac and Windows in Bootcamp.

These compatibility issues are so common, I suppose that is the most important Diffrence everyone hope to know from the review.

Excellent detailing of the differences and right to the point. Thanks so much! The only 2 details I would like to have known, but that were not covered are: 1) Will both versions work with a Mac using the wired connection if for some reason I want Bluetooth turned off (security in public) or if the mouse is low on charge and 2) Even though the "generic" version comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable; if I want to use it with a MacBook that only has USB-C, can I not just use a USB-C to USB-C cable and it will still work with the "generic" version of this mouse? If so, for the price of a USB-C cable, is there any question as to which mouse would offer more flexibility? Thanks in advance if you're able to answer those questions!!

Or the bluetooth is old and slow. But I want to be able to charge it from the usb c port on my mac

Thanks for the review. The most stupid thing Logitech made here, is to split this in two packages (regular vs Mac). Truly, and I was convinced even before watching your video that the mices would work no matter what OS you're on, they would have done better to ship one and only package (regular), but with a USB-C to USB-A cable and USB-C to USB-C cable, or at least a USB-C to USB-A dongle. This would have made the mouse more universal, for all possible devices (PC, TV, ...), and then customer chooses between usb or bluetooth connection.
