While I was happy that I got my most wanted feature on the MX Master 3, there’s this one functionality that no mouse or trackpad can match. I’ve tried operating the mouse on surfaces like glass, sofa fabric, ceramic tiles and wood, and it worked flawlessly everywhere. Above the thumb rest, you’ll find another scroll wheel of sorts, made for left/right scrolling in spreadsheets or the like, along with two more mouse buttons. In those rare occasions that I do, I just plug in a wired Apple keyboard/mouse to access the Logitech Unifying Software app that was installed on my Mac to set things right again.

Although I’ve flirted with the idea of setting up a desk set up with an external keyboard and mouse, I’ve been reluctant. If you have the money to spend on a mouse, this mouse will pay you back with a box full of saved time and enjoyment. Talking about scrolling, the MX Master 3 has a horizontal scroll wheel too: The horizontal scroll wheel on the MX Master 3 is quite helpful. Now it has been updated to the MX Master 3S, and the improvements, though minor, are enough for it to hold on to the top spot. It should say, NOTE: These devices cannot unlock a Mac when the Mac is locked unless FileVault is off.

Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac review: the best mouse for Mac users isn't from Apple The Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac looks to better cater to Apple users. A good mouse often has well-thought-out and considered ergonomics too, which means that hand strain and repetitive injuries can be minimised. I would’ve never imagined that I would spend ₹7,600 on a mouse, but I’ve never regretted this purchase. Even with all of the heavy lifting that the mouse does, supporting so many actions, it manages the battery efficiently. Exceptionally quiet buttons deliver a satisfying tactile feel and an 8K optical sensor gives next-gen response on any surface, even glass.

As far as bluetooth issues, the MX Master did feel a little choppy at times, but I moved where my M1 Mini sits and it’s been smooth ever since.For instance, the left/right thumbwheel can be used to scroll left and right or alternatively, and perhaps more usefully, switch between different browser tabs.

Compatible with Logi Bolt USB Receiver (not included) Logi Bolt wireless products will not pair with other Logitech USB receivers. The MX Master 3 has a built-in non-accessible battery that offers up to 70 days of usage on a full charge. Further complicating things, I cannot open the Logi Options app in safe mode as it gets stuck at the start up screen. As with other Master Series products, it pays to install the Logi Options+ software that can be found on mxsetup.If you want to move the peripheral to another computer, you have to disable the current pairing and re-pair it with the new computer. In addition to the usual left button, right button, and scroll wheel, the mouse has a plethora of buttons on it: a gesture button, two navigation buttons, and a horizontal scroll wheel. Where the thumb sits there’s a sidewheel and a forward and back button, and right at the top there’s a clever scroll wheel and button, which we’ll explain a bit more about later. You can use this button below the mouse to pair it with up to three of your devices: Switch between paired devices on the MX Master 3.
