The popular Logitech MX Master 2S is back down to a bargain price from Amazon

A powerful, comfortable and reliable wireless mouse for getting stuff done.

If you're after a fantastic office mouse, Logitech's reliable MX Master line are always a good place to start. They're comfortable to use and offer solid sensitivity for office duties, as well as some clever software integration in more recent iterations. To this end, this deal from Amazon that brings the MX Master 2S back down to £45 makes for a worthwhile reduction on a great office mouse.

Its contoured shape not only helps the MX Master 2S to look stylish, but for right-handed users, also makes it a supremely comfortable mouse to use. I've had an MX Master mouse of some shape or form on my desk for the last three years, and this tall, ergonomic frame performs well even throughout a full working day. Combine this with a full complement of tactile buttons, the convenience of a thumb wheel for horizontal scrolling, and a speed-adaptive scroll wheel, and you've got a solid mouse for office and creative duties.

The 4000 DPI sensor is snappy enough for gaming and office work alike, even if the best gaming mice typically offer higher-end sensors and higher update rates, and works on glass surfaces - a rarity for optical sensors. What's more, you get a couple of different options for connectivity: Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless via Logitech's USB-A Unifying Receiver. You can also connect the Master 2S to up to three devices, and switching between them is practically instantaneous with a button on the mouse's underside. This is particularly handy for power users who just want to use one mouse for multiple systems at once.

If you so choose, you can also use the MX Master 2S with Logitech's clever Options suite of software, allowing you to program the mouse buttons and tweak the speed-adaptive scroll wheel. The app also gives you access to the clever Logi Flow feature, which is a game changer for power users. It means that if you've got devices connected both to the Master 2S and the same Wifi network, you can literally drag and drop files from one computer over to the other while maintaining a seamless connection with the mouse itself. It's a clever piece of software trickery, and one I use every so often when I need to use a Mac and a PC at the same time. Logitech reckons the Master 2S will last for 70 days on a single charge, giving you two months or so's worth of usage before you'll need to charge it back up again, which makes for some rather serious endurance. However, if you do get caught in a pinch, you can charge it up for just three minutes and get a day's worth of charge out of it.

It may not be an outright historic low price, but getting the Logitech MX Master 2S for £45 is a solid deal and well worth considering for anyone that wants a capable office mouse.
