Control Up to Three Computers with Logitech MX Mice

I love Logitech mouse. If you are thinking this post is about computer mouse again, the answer is yes and no. Yes, we are talking about mouse. No, we are talking about two different mice that can control multiple computers, and even with “cut and paste” feature. Did I get your attention now?

To perform “Copy and Paste”, the computer will need the software, Logitech Flow, which is available as part of the free software, Logitech® OptionsTM . This will be useful for people (like me) with multiple computers. Both mice are available now. The Logitech MX Master 2S are priced at S$149.00, and the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S for S$129.00. If you think that the price is too steep, there is another mouse, M585 Multi-Device (retails at S$49), that you can use the Logitech Flow.

Without further ado, here are the specs of the Logitech MX Master 2S and the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S.

“One computer used to be enough, but we’ve moved into an era where roughly one in 10 people are working across multiple computers at the same time,” said Moninder Jain, Managing Director, ASEAN and Vice-President for Logitech. “Using multiple computers can help you avoid distractions and speed up processor-intensive operations, but working across multiple computers can be a hassle. That’s where Logitech Flow comes in. With Flow and a new MX mouse, you can enhance your productivity — for instance, copying and pasting files from one computer to another — helping you become more precise and focused in the multi-computer world.”

The latest mice are part of the Logitech MX lineage, which included the Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse and the Logitech MX Anywhere 2 Wireless Mobile Mouse. The next-gen MX mice pack even more functionality, including compatibility with Logitech Flow.

With Logitech Flow, available as a free download as part of Logitech® OptionsTM software, you can take multi-computer use to a new level. With the MX mice, you can seamlessly control up to three computers with one mouse, and even copy and paste content, images and documents between the three computers. Logitech Flow is easy to set up, and has a simple user interface.

Logitech MX Master 2S and the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S

The Logitech MX Master 2S and the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S feature an improved Darkfield TM High Precision tracking, which boosts the mice cursor speed, accuracy and increases the resolution to 4,000 DPI so you can have the most versatile mouse at all times, no matter what screen you are using.

The mice also track on any surface – even glass – so you get flawless control and have an improved battery life, with a rechargeable battery that lasts for up to 70 days on a full charge, depending on usage. And when you do need to recharge, it’s fast and easy.

The Logitech MX Master 2S has a speed adaptive scroll wheel that auto-shifts from click-to-click to hyper-fast scroll, so you can scroll through long documents or Web pages with ease. Plus, you get side-to-side scrolling with a thumb wheel, and can customize additional functions with Logitech Options. The Logitech MX Anywhere 2S has a precision wheel, which lets you switch between click-to-click to hyper-fast scrolling.
