Between the advance and retreat, Fang Xiantao: MX anywhere2 out of the box and comparison review

Logitech's keyboard and mouse have always been my first choice. After the 14-year-old Double 11 bought the MX anywhere, it was no longer interested in other notebook mice. In May this year, I bought an MX Anywhere 2 generation and originally intended to make an unboxing and a simple comparison. The lazy episode dragged onto the present. All photos were taken with ip6, except that the sizing and masking SN information sections were not modified.

The mouse is not purchased from JD.com, but it is still necessary to place a Jingdong link as usual:

The first is that the packaging is similar to the design of hardcover books, the front side is very simple, and the mouse's large photographs are combined with a short text description. It needs to be emphasized that the mouse pattern on the cover is different from the smooth feel of the black part and has an embossed feel, which is slightly similar to that of the anywhere2 surface.

The bottom surface is an introduction to various functions and it is slightly fancy compared to the frontal simplicity.

What really caught my attention on the package was the description of the warranty: the 1-year limited warranty. To know that Anywhere is a three-year warranty, I later wanted to understand that the built-in battery, how could the manufacturer give you a three-year warranty?! This is forcing the pace to follow its footsteps ah.

After opening the cover, I saw the mouse deity. When I bought it, I chose a gold color for a little personality. I did not expect that the gold of Logitech was not the same as the golden color of other homes. It was matt gold, and I suddenly became scared. More than just a smash! If you knew it, you would choose black. At least it didn't look so special.

As can be seen from the packaging, although Bluetooth is supported, the mouse still comes with an optimized receiver to meet the needs of different users. and

And because it has a built-in rechargeable battery, it also comes with a USB cable that works well. What's the warranty and the manual will not be taken, I believe it is not the focus of everyone's attention.

The first thing after the mouse is turned on is of course charging. I was too embarrassed to let it charge on the desktop alone, but I had to accompany it. When two generations of the mouse are together, the difference is still obvious:

1. The generation is similar to the mirror material, the reflection is obvious, and the second generation is a matt material, obviously no reflection.

2. Some of the generations between the left and right buttons have been made of metal, and the second generation has been reduced to a plastic material, reducing costs.

3. The most important thing is that the generation has a mouse storage bag to send, the second generation price is a lot expensive, but it has saved such a practical thing. This must be bad!

The difference in the mouse's underside is also obvious:

The bottom of the generation is very simple, and the lamp is hidden under the slide switch and can play a very good protection

The second generation switch is very small, with one more Connect button and one switch button. The toggle button facilitates matching between three computers.

The second generation lamp does not have any protection

Compared to the design, I prefer the design of the first generation of the design. On the material, I think it is better to combine the second-generation matte material with the metal part of the generation.

Lastly, I would like to talk about the design of the second-generation charging port, microUSB, but because it is said to be used once for two months, it means that the USB port is basically bare. If there is a protective cover design would it be better?

In the summary section, it is usual to talk about advantages and disadvantages. The first is the advantages:

MX Anywhere II is the best choice for laptops and mice. It can adapt to surfaces including glass, reducing the limitations of use.

The second generation supports Bluetooth design, which is a good news for portable and Apple. And after multiple local tests, Bluetooth wakes up quickly with little delay.

Built-in battery, use universal microUSB design, no longer worry about no electricity.

The disadvantages are also obvious to me:

The biggest drawback is that the warranty has changed from three years to one year.

Obvious cost-saving behavior, such as the lack of storage bag, the middle part of the left and right keys to replace the metal material with plastic material.

There are also improvements in the design.

Lastly, I would like to say that the newly released Anywhere2s has the Flow function. If you only need software support, hopefully it will be released to the entire Anywhere family as soon as possible. In fact, what I would like to say most is that Anywhere 2nd generation has more improvements than routines. After all, saving costs and promoting consumer substitution is the mainstream of business models.
