I just got a MX ANYWHERE 2/S mouse by logitech and I truly like this mouse.
It fells good in the hand and the movements are very smooth and light to the touch.
What is really great once you download the programs, is I can move from computer to computer just by using the program.
I can copy and paste from one computer and its monitor to my other computer and its monitor just with the mouse.
I can go from computer to computer just by moving the cursor to the edge of the screen. It just hops to the other monitor.

Go here and watch the 'Flow' video. It amazing and fun.

As I have a big hand, I like a big mouse.
I used to have a generic 7 buttons mouse that I bought very cheap at the supermarket in Brazil.
After many years and many micro switches replacements it died.
Last xmas I gave myself a Logitech mx master (the old one). I bought it at Amazon (US) and cost me US$65. It has 9 buttons (had to disable some), and I'm very happy with it.
The new Logitech mx master 2 also has the Flow and cost around US$ 100. Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse for Power Users
I only use one computer at a time, so I think Flow will be useless for me.

Can someone explain me how does it work (the data files are transferred by LAN or by the mouse USB wireless device?)

The MX Masters 2 is a bit big for me and has more button than I need. But still a good choice.

I'm not really sure how the mouse does the 'Flow'.
I have the dogle in one computer and use Blutooth on the other computer.

I've got several Logitech mice but they cause pain in my had after a short period of use. Microsoft mice do not do that. I like the added functions that Logitech has but sadly I can't use them.

I have been using the MS Wireless Mouse 2000 as part of the Wireless Desktop system for a few years and really like it. Its a pretty basic wireless mouse and KB setup but it suits my needs. But that Logitech is VERY cool in that you can copy/paste across machines and OS platforms. My wife and I frequently need to share files back and forth and it can become a bit if a pain to either copy to a thumb drive or email files or our in home network, when we could just hand the mouse back and forth. We're both on W7SP1.

Very strange because I first got my logitech mice 'M705 because the Microsoft mice where causing me pain. Different strokes for different folks, I'm assuming.

Just did a test with out the cable from one computer 'LAN' to the modem/router 'TWC cable' and the mouse 'Flow' would not work. Hooked the cable back and the 'Flow' works again.
