Looking for a cheaper alternative to the Logitech MX Master 4? It usually sells for about $120. Here are 4 cheaper swaps from $25: the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S is a cheaper option from Logitech and the Logitech Pebble Mouse 2 M350s is the cheapest at about $25. Each one says what you give up for the lower price.
Worth it if you spend long days in many apps: Logitech lists an 8,000 DPI sensor that tracks on glass, the MagSpeed wheel with ratchet and fast-scroll modes, and customizable haptic feedback. Tom's Guide found it comfortable and highly customizable, and it connects over one 2.4GHz receiver and two Bluetooth channels.
Tom's Guide found the haptics slightly gimmicky, so if you can skip them, the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S ($90) keeps the MagSpeed wheel in a travel size. If wrist strain is the issue, the Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse ($80) uses a vertical grip, though it suits small to medium hands.

Tom's Guide says the 4 adds haptic feedback on its touch pad, swaps the rubberized finish for hard plastic, and is a few millimetres bigger and nine grams heavier. It found core performance much the same as the 3S.
Tom's Guide says it may be too big if the MX Master 3S is already about as large as you can handle, and lists it as a right-handed design. The Logitech MX Anywhere 3S ($90) is a smaller option with the same MagSpeed scroll wheel.
Yes. Logitech says its 8,000 DPI sensor tracks on almost any surface, including glass at least 4 mm thick.

Every swap is a product sold in the US that does the main job of the original. Close match is another brand with similar features, Same brand, cheaper is an older, smaller or renewed model from the same maker, and Budget pick is the cheapest thing that still does the job. On each page, Closest match is the close match nearest the original in price, and Lowest price is the cheapest swap. We compare published specs, retailer listings and reviews; we don't test products ourselves.
A cheaper product is cheaper for a reason. Each swap says what you give up, like weaker noise cancelling, a smaller screen or a shorter warranty, so you can decide if the savings are worth it.
