Evolution of the MX Master, the MX Master 2S is apparently identical to its elder – except for the color. In appearance only, since changes are hidden at the electronic and software level.
Always as pleasant to use as long as you don’t have a small hand, the MX Master 2S is improving without taking much risk. The arrival of the Flow function is nevertheless a real good surprise, largely justifying the arrival of this 2S version – although it could very well have been added to the previous version.
Strong points
- Comfort of handling, ergonomics.
- Smart scroll wheel and second wheel for horizontal scrolling.
- 7 configurable buttons, with secondary function.
- Very practical Flow function to use the mouse with several computers simultaneously.
- Neat finishes.
- Precise laser sensor that also works on glass.
- Good battery life, fast charging.
Weak points
- Massive design, not recommended for small hands.
- Slice buttons quite small, not very accessible for large fingers.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The SteelSeries Prime+ is a mouse clearly cut out for gaming. Its exemplary handling, the responsiveness and longevity of its optical switches, as well as its dual sensor make it an ally of choice for competitive multiplayer, even if it doesn’t. is not as light as some competitors. Its strength is also a weakness: it is indeed really not versatile and can hardly be used in office automation, the fault of a wheel that is certainly effective, but ultra-basic. If its Oled screen is interesting on paper, in practice its usefulness is very limited, especially since it entails an additional cost compared to the Prime model without a screen.
