Evolution of 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.
Points forts
- 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).
An alternative
Truly very responsive, the Razer Viper 8KHz achieves its objectives, but struggles to assert its superiority in practice. The gain related to the passage to a frequency of 8000 Hz is indeed expressed by definition under the millisecond, which will remain imperceptible for many players compared to a classic Viper operating at 1000 Hz. No revolution therefore, but a mouse on which competitive gamers can rely on.
