Looking for a productivity mouse, but might be due to horizontal scroll. My current rapoo merapu mouse on its way to trash pile after 8 months lol. Constantly switching off even after changing new battery.
Occasionally game non-competitive, sometimes might find it handy for writing, excel, some animation software, and some 3D modelling or programming.

Found some MX2S for RM250+/-
And also some MX3 for around RM370+, useable with 10% cashback (so around 333)
around 85 linggit difference lah then, but the MX3 one is quite limited stock.

Wondering if wanna spend extra for MX3 which I guess the current advantages are:
1) New tech scrolling wheel
2) Bigger horizontal wheel
3) Much better side button placements
4) Slightly more vertical design (?)
5) Metal construction for some parts
6) Type C port

On one hand kinda interested with the magnetic scroll wheel tech.
Dunno lah if the RM85 is worth the 6 features listed above.
And then there's also the issue of scroll wheel on MX3 I read about on reddit, dunno if fixed already.
If not I'll just get an MX2S and the money saved I'll just buy a cheap bone conduction earphone for fun tongue.gif


Does anyone have experience with MX2S and/or MX3?
Do you find it worth spending the money on these? Let me know. Thanks

Do you use middle click often? If yes, you can eliminate MX2S from your list, the scroll wheel does not act as a middle click, there is an dedicated button just for it.

You mean normal middle click? Then yeah. Use a lot for panning in autoCAD, animation software, 3d model software etc.
The MX2S doesn't have a middle click? huh.gif

Don't listen to Xaphier. The scroll wheel in the middle can act as middle click. You can also assign the scroll wheel button to work differently using the Logitech Options software.

Source: I had the MX Master 2S for three years and it has been my daily driver for my work.

well the offer for the MX3 is already sold out so I guess I'll be going for the MX2S then rclxm9.gif
