I've been a Logitech mouse user for a long time now, and after nearly 10 years of daily use and abuse, the left click button on my old revolution MX has become a little unreliable, and I've decided that it's time for an upgrade.I've had a Unifying receiver for my K750 keyboard and T650 trackpad for a while now, and I was able to connect it up using the Logitech unifying software in seconds. I was required to download the new Logitech Options software, which is replacing Setpoint for newer bits of hardware. Even though Setpoint doesn't support this mouse, it does detect it and prompt to download Options, which is easier than trying to find the right page on the website.I'm not going to detail the software in this review, but it seems very good, and supports different button maps for different programs. If you want to change something, I'd be very surprised if Options doesn't support it.In addition to supporting connections using unifying receivers, it also supports what Logitech are calling "Smart Bluetooth" connectivity. This isn't a new technology, it's a fancy name for Bluetooth 4.0 and newer. Unfortunately my aging laptop doesn't support this revision, but I will be testing this in the next week or so, and will update this review accordingly.Both these connectivity options help what I think is the best new feature of the mouse; Multiple connection profiles, or easy switch. This takes the form of a small button on the base of the mouse which lets you pick 1 of 3 devices to connect to. This means that when I'm at my desk, I can connect to my workstation through its unifying RX, and when I'm out, I can connect to my laptop using Bluetooth (When I sort my laptop out) *WITHOUT* having to rebind / repair it. These mice aren't cheap, but for me, this makes them much better value than when they didn't support this feature (Though given their quality, I would still have bought one if this feature wasn't here)Moving onto the mouse itself, it feels good to hold, the photos with all the triangulated edges make it look a lot less smooth than it is, with the ridges not protruding more than a mm or so. The overall shape has changed a little in each iteration, but is resoundingly better suited to right handed people.Following on from the Performance, the mouse is charged using a USB cable as opposed to the dock of the revolution. Sideways scrolling has made a departure, and is now, by default, mapped to the thumbwheel. Why exactly they've chosen to do this, I don't know. It does mean that there is less wobble in the scroll wheel, which I've notice holds better than on the last two mice, which is very useful when for professionals using CAD packages such as NX, Solidworks and Catia.On the note of the thumbwheel, it's not the same kind as is on the Revolution, as it supports continuous rotation, as opposed to the old jogger type. It uses the same auto/manual selection for smooth or ratcheted scrolling as the revolution, meaning unlike the Performance, you can set it for individual applications. This was missing on the Performance, and was one of the big gripes people had with it.The only issue I've really got is the back and forward buttons have been shrunk, staggered and placed next to the thumb wheel (or the thumbwheel moved upward toward the buttons). I understand why Logitech have done this, as it means that there is no longer a thumbwheel in the way when resting your hand on the mouse, but it means that these buttons are further back. For me, they are directly under my knuckle, and this makes it awkward to use them conventionally, however, because of the staggering, I can operate them with the inside of my knuckle. I haven't decided if I like it yet - They've found a neat solution, but it may have been to a problem that never needed to exist in the first place.All in all, this is a great mouse, and has addressed the few issues that I had with the Revolution and Performance mice. I thoroughly recommend this mouse, and given the quality of Logitech mice, expect it to last a long time before it needs replacing.

I've had this month for nearly two years and use it every day at work, so this is definitely a long term review of the product rather than some reviewers who review a product as soon as they've opened the box.First up, it's up to you whether you like the styling but personally I love the bronze secondary colour of the mouse which makes it stand out compared to most mouses which use silver or grey. It's got a nice rubbery feel so feels nice in the hand and size-wise, it is a large mouse so it's very much a palm grip. To be honest, you don't even 'grip' it as such, more rest your hand on it. It's got your usual left and right mouse buttons, a vertical scroll wheel between them then next to the thumb rest is a horizontal thumb wheel,two buttons (back/forward) and the thumb rest actually clicks down as a 'gesture' button. Behind the vertical mouse wheel button is a small button which switches between ratchet and smooth scrolling.Connectivity is via the small USB 'unifying' receiver which is the same as many other Logitech mice, so if you have one already you can reuse that or use them on different computers if you plan to travel with the mouse. Alternatively you can use Bluetooth but it needs to be a specific version (I think 4?); my old laptop wouldn't connect to it but my current laptop does. You can also use a micro USB cable which is also how you charge the mouse. One nice feature of the mouse, which you may not find useful, is that you can connect the mouse to 3 different machines and switch between them via a small button on the bottom of the mouse. Pairing is as simple as holding this button down until the led indicator flashes, then it is in pairing mode.The mouse can be programmed using the Logitech Options software. The vertical mouse wheel can automatically switch between ratchet and smooth scroll mode if scrolling fast enough and the sensitivity of switch can be set in Options. Other buttons such as the back and forwards buttons, horizontal scroll and the gesture button (clicking it, or holding it down and moving the mouse in different directions) can all be customised to do different things, from basic tasks to keyboard commands. Not only this, but they can be set up to be global settings and then have specific settings for individual applications, so for example you could have the horizontal scroll button to scroll through tabs in Chrome. A lot of these things can be a bit niche but the ability to program the mouse so much is nice to have - I have a program where the horizontal scroll by default zoomed in and out, so I was able to turn it off for that specific program.The mouse has a built-in battery and as I mentioned before, charges via a micro-usb cable. The battery lasts a long time, I work 9-5 five days a week and I would estimate it needs charging once a month, if not less frequently. You get an alert on the screen to say when the battery is 'critical' (5%). I can get another day out of it until it dies and needs recharging. Charging takes very little time (an hour perhaps) and you can continue to use it while it's charging.I wanted this mouse because I wanted an ergonomic, wireless mouse and I've loved the look of the previous Logitech mouse which this is the successor of but never bought one. This mouse really has been a positive change to my working environment - I am a software developer so the automatic smooth scroll feature can help to fly through thousands of lines of code quickly. The programmability is excellent so I can get it to do certain tasks which save small amounts of time. Overall, it doesn't feel like it hinders my workflow, which a lot of cheaper mice can do. There's no poor battery life for a wireless mouse, messing about repairing because it's decided it doesn't want to connect for some reason and it barely feels like you're holding anything.

I bought this mouse to do video editing on my Macbook when I am away from a desktop PC. I picked this mouse because I had heard good things about the MX series and have had a good history with Logitech products. This also stood out because it looks beautiful too.Pros- Looks beautiful- Great Feel- Battery Life is fantastic- Tons of customisation with the button configurations.Cons- Bluetooth performance not great (at least in my experience.- Mouse wheel is a bit loud in click to click mode.First off this mouse looks great and feels great. The Black and gold aesthetic work really well and the shape of it fits the hand great. It has a mouse wheel with two options the click to click and fast scroll.I tend to use the click to click although one issue I find is the click is very loud compared to mice I have owned in the past, however as there's a dedicated button to switching modes it isn't that much of a problem. On the side of the mouse we have the forward and back buttons, the 'thumb wheel' and the thumb rest button (no idea what that is called). forward and back wheels are great although I find the forward button tough to click because of the size and also the layout of the buttons. but generally I only use the back button anyway. The thumb wheel is excellent and works great in programs like premiere pro. The last and somewhat hidden button is the actual thumb rest itself, on my Mac it was configured to work with the typical Mac Gestures which I liked so I kept it. If I swipe the mouse to the side while holding the button it swaps the desktop for example. Very intuitive.On the bottom of the mouse we have the on/off, connect and profile settings. This mouse is bluetooth but also comes with a wireless receiver which the connect button works seamlessly with. The profile settings are something I haven't played around with much because I only use this with my laptop but the idea is being able to set 3 different profiles (containing different settings and button configurations) so in practice you can quickly switch between computers with the mouse and have settings adjust for each! Very cool if that is something you are looking for!You also get a usb charging cable (can always have it plugged in if you really want) and a wireless receiver and documentation. It's packed nicely and it all feels very premium.Performance - The most important part of any mouse. It works great, the ONLY issue I have is the Bluetooth performance when connected to my Macbook, it would lag occasionally which is really annoying when editing. However the performance with the wireless receiver that is included is perfect and haven't had any issues whatsoever with that. The logitech software allows you to change the speed and customise what all the buttons do which allows you to make the mouse fit to your own specifications.Battery life - I bought this mouse on the 25th of November 2015 and since writing this review on the 27th December 2015 I have yet to recharge this. Now in all fairness I'm not using this all the time. 3 times a week I use it for 5 hours straight (work related) and then it used every now and then other times of the week. That is still very impressive, there is some power saving where the mouse will go into a sleep mode when not in use but just moving it will wake it up.Conclusion - I'm really happy with this mouse, I didn't have the previous version so I have nothing to compare it to but it works as intended for the most part aside from bluetooth issues. Mouse is right handed only which is unfortunate but seems to be a trend with mice, hopefully that will change! If you are looking for a mouse for work such as video/photo editing, this is a good choice.

Firstly I bought this to replace my iMac Magic Mouse.The Logitech MX Master Mouse is an evolutionary upgrade to Logitech’s laser mice that are larger and more comfortable than a standard puck-shaped mouse. The Logitech G500s has been my day-to-day mouse for the past couple of years. The mouse is great for everything from browsing to gaming with its adjustable DPI and multiple buttons for easy navigation.The MX Master Mouse continues on that same history of success for right-handed mousers. It offers dual wireless connectivity options with Bluetooth and Logitech’s Unifying connection which allows the mouse to connect to 3 different devices. One of my biggest concerns with wireless mice always comes down to the batteries.I like that the MX Master Wireless has a rechargeable battery, which is fast charging and is supposed to last 40 days on a single charge. I have not had the mouse for that long, so I will have to see what mileage I get out of it. The mouse continues to operate just fine if you have to charge it from the included micro USB cable. It connects to the front of the mouse and then operates like a normal corded mouse.Aspects of the mouse that I do not like:The back/forward buttons are difficult to use due to their layoutThe curved part of the mouse goes too high and for too long, so that it digs into the web between your thumb and forefinger to hold the mouse comfortablyThe back and forward buttons are the standard buttons that Logitech adds to their mice. They’re usually easily reachable from the thumb with the back button being bigger and easiest to reach. With the MX Master, the buttons are overlapping in opposite teardrop shapes. Forward is still further away and back is closer to your palm but the layout requires some concentration to ensure you’re hitting the right button rather than the more intuitive previous layouts.Where the mouse usually slopes down in the web between your thumb and palm, I find this mouse to be still rising and a little uncomfortable.Aspects of the mouse that I’m not sure on yet:the horizontal scroll wheel is really precise and smooth but I’m yet to find a frequent use casethe gesture button is neat but requires coordinationI have not come across any real need for the horizontal scroll wheel. It’s unique and provides options but most applications adapt to the vertical scroll wheel, such as the Start Screen.The gesture button is a bit hidden, but the thumb rest is actually a button. You can press down with your thumb and then move up, down, left, or right to kick off a different action. These actions are configured in the Logitech Options software. For example, you can perform windows management such as minimizing a window by holding down the gesture button while dragging backwards.Aspects of the mouse that I really like:the wireless freedomthe scroll wheel changing from clicking to smooth rolling at the press of the buttonthe Darkfield laser that has this mouse operating very precisely on a variety of surfacesthe Logitech Options software is really easy to useI prefer the scroll wheel with a click to it. It feels more sure in the navigation and I found the smooth wheel to move up a little each time I scroll down. Personal preference but it’s a simple button press away to change.The Logitech Options software is available to download from support.logitech.com It allows you to configure the buttons to do what you would like them to do. For example, you could use the horizontal scroll to control your volume and the gesture button to control media.All in all a good mouse for the price....and hopefully less hand fatigue.

First of all, I've been a fan of Logitech mice for a long time. At home I'm a fan of their gaming mice on my PC (just swapped my ageing G500 for a G502), but I like to use cordless mice with my laptop at work. For the last few years I've used a small cordless Logitech mouse with the laptop and it's worked well, but I'd noticed my hand felt a little stiff after using it for extended periods of time.This mouse is actually a full-sized mouse. Inside the box you'll find minimal instructions, the mouse, a cable for charging (it has an internal rechargeable battery - more on that later), a tiny USB receiver, and the mouse itself. The mouse comes partially charged, so you can use it straight away.When you switch it on (there's a small switch on the underside of the mouse) three green LEDs briefly glow on the left side of the mouse, indicating the charge level. If you wish, you can plug the supplied cable into the mouse (charge port is at the front, directly before the scroll wheel) and the other end into a USB port on your computer, and you can use it as a corded mouse while it charges if needed. I've been using the mouse every day for two weeks now and it is still showing as being fully charged.In terms of buttons the mouse has the usual left and right clicks, a scroll wheel which also acts as a middle click, and on the left of the mouse there are two thumb buttons and a scroll wheel (useful for eg scrolling left and right across spreadsheets) and finally the flat area beneath your thumb also acts as a button. Each button can be reconfigured, so I have the thin buttons on the left as back and forward navigation, the flat area for the Windows task switcher (the Windows key & TAB combination), and the others for their traditional uses. Beneath the scroll wheel there is also a button which releases the wheel itself. It is normally ratcheted, so as you scroll you feel it clicking, but if you press this button it releases the wheel to spin freely. My favourite feature of the mouse is that if you spin the wheel rapidly it automatically releases itself, so if you're scrolling up or down a long web page or Word document it's a joy - just spin the wheel and it whizzes along, then as it slows down you hear it click back into ratcheted mode. Wish my G502 did the same!To use the mouse, simply plug the USB receiver into a spare USB port on your computer and switch the mouse on, and you're ready to go. The receiver is tiny, and as it only sticks out of the USB port by about half a centimetre you can easily leave it plugged in all the time - I certainly do. You can also use the mouse via Bluetooth if you prefer. If you download the Logitech Options software from their website it allows you reconfigure all of the buttons, check the battery level, update firmware, and also configure the Flow feature.Flow is something that people who use multiple machines at the same time will surely find useful. If you have up to three machines on the same network and all have the Logitech Options software installed, you can connect this mouse to all three - again, using Bluetooth or Logitech Unifying Adapters (the tiny USB plugs as supplied with this mouse) and it allows you to use the mouse across all of the machines by simply dragging the arrow cursor off one screen and onto another.Criticisms? It's an expensive mouse, and the matt plastic used on the top of the mouse marks easily. After a day in my laptop bag my left button had a long mark - not quite a scratch - along it which won't come off. All in all though it's fantastic. I enjoy using this one a lot more than the G502 I have at home.

Logitech continue to redesign and update some of their peripherals and the "Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse/Bluetooth Mouse for Mac and Windows - Graphite" is the latest version of their top-of-range mouse. Externally, its shape is much as it has been for its predecessors - minus the gold stripe of the previous model - but the previous thumb controls and now smaller and aligned one above the other and consequently difficult to use accurately. Their displacement is to allow a small scroll wheel into the space. The left and right mouse buttons are shorter in length, probably reflecting other internal changes, but they are still quite 'clicky' and the other controls have also been changed.The left mouse button also has the name 'Logi' engraved onto it for the first time in this model series.It retains use of Logitech's Universal Receiver system but now adds Bluetooth capability for use with Windows and Mac systems; it was an option for one model. It is rechargeable, obtaining power when needed via a micro-USB charge lead as previously. It is now said that a 3-minute charge will provide sufficient power for a full day's usage (whatever that means in real terms) and 70 minutes for a full charge which Logitech suggest will last several weeks - 3-4 days was typical for its predecessors with quite extensive use. The shaping is biased very much for the right-handed user and it is quite uncomfortable if used left-handed. There is an additional button underneath to select the Bluetooth-enabled device with which it is to be paired. There is also a power switch.There is some charge in the battery as delivered but it should be fully charged before use. It is usable while recharging but the cable and its connector coming out of the front of the mouse may make that impractical - it is best to wait the hour or so until fully charged. As always with this series, and generally with Logitech, it feels well-made and sufficiently rugged despite its 100% plastic construction. As with other Logitech hardware, its Setpoint software will need to be downloaded to access all abilities and you may need to add the Unifying Software if this is to replace another Logitech mouse or you are adding it as an extra. The mouse also supports Logitech Options software for some additional operational functionality. All the software is downloadable (there are also Mac versions of Setpoint and Options) and not provided. Once Options is installed, another feature become available and that is Flow, a method by which data is transferred between Networked computers (PC or Mac).In use, it works well and reliably but it is fairly large both side-to-side and front-to-rear and will need either a large mouse mat or working area. A mouse mat isn't essential, unless for comfort or other reasons and the mouse will function on a variety of surfaces including matte metal, fabric, wood and plastic laminates among others. Other than this dark grey, it is also available in white and light blue versions. Somehow, Logitech have kept the price consistent with previous versions and it is, as always, one of the best available although relatively expensive.What went initially unnoticed was its charge lead; whereas older versions had connectors profiled in various ways to provide grip when disconnecting (especially the micro end), the current version is completely smooth. Grip on the smaller connector is difficult and the lead may be replaced with another or an older one found and re-used. It is a minor point but worth noting!

This is a really, really good mouse for serious business or general computer use. It is not optimised for gaming, but for all other uses its hard to find fault with it.It works on almost any surface, including glass as long as the glass is 4mm or more thick. I've been using it on an oilcloth table covering which defeats some other mice I've used. It has a massive built-in rechargeable battery that keeps the mouse going for days between charges (and in any case you can charge the mouse using a USB cable while using it). You can connect using the supplied USB dongle or you can pair with your laptop using Bluetooth. The mouse can remember up to three different computers: you just need to press a button on the base to switch between computers.Ergonomically,if you're comfortable with a traditional (non-ergonomic) mouse and you hold your mouse in your right hand then this mouse is a comfortable to hold as you could possibly hope for. There's a deep sculpted thumb-rest, and my medium-sized hand rests very comfortably on top. The main buttons are large, with a short but positive travel, with a nice click. The middle button has a scrollwheel, which is ratcheted at slow speed, but if you spin it quickly the ratchet disengages and the wheel works like a flywheel, allowing you to scroll very fast indeed. When you brake the wheel with your finger the ratchet automatically re-engages. If you do a lot of work on very large spreadsheets or documents, this is amazingly useful. Even better, there's also a horizontal scroll-wheel on the thumb-rest, so you can scroll across very easily too. There are also "forward/back" buttons on the thumbrest, a "gesture" button built into the thumb-rest itself (it took me a while to realise this was a button at all) and there's another small button on top of the mouse, just behind the middle scrollwheel. All of these buttons can be remapped to do whatever you like if you install the software: I've remapped the "forward/back" buttons to adjust speaker volume and the middle button (which by default manually disengages the middle scrollwheel ratchet) to toggle between two pointer speeds (this is useful when fine-tuning a Visio diagram). I find the gesture button a bit tricky to press, but it offers a selection of Windows8-friendly options, like arranging windows or panning around a document (you press the button and move the mouse simultaneously). If you need one of the buttons to do something different you can record a series of keystrokes for it to execute.No matter how many twiddly bits and buttons there are, they're no use if you don't use them. Within minutes of plugging this mouse in I was using the two scrollwheels (one with the auto-ratchet/flywheel, the other allowing horizontal scrolling) as if I'd never been without them. The other buttons took a few more minutes to learn, and I haven't really used the "gesture" button at all. I use it on three different PCs, including my work laptop, my notebook and my desktop PC (using Bluetooth on the first two and the dongle on my desktop PC). Just for the comparison I tried switching back to a standard Microsoft Wheelmouse. This helped me appreciate just how good this Logitech mouse is.Its a gorgeous mouse. I wouldn't part with it.

This is Logitech's top-of-the-range mouse, and it is a lovely piece of kit. As soon as you take it out of the box and hold it, it feels utterly natural in the hand. I already have a Microsoft ergonomic desktop kit, but the Logitech is an order of magnitude better to use in terms of comfort.However, let's not get ahead of ourselves - it's not all perfect! The mouse uses EasySwitch technology, which allows it to be paired with up to three devices at once - you switch between devices with a small button on the bottom, which is a bit fiddly - I'd much rather this had been somewhere on the top surface of the mouse. The mouse will work with either the supplied USB dongle or with a Bluetooth Smart device - note that this is not the same as a Bluetooth device!My 2010 Mac mini will not work with the MX Master, as the Bluetooth Smart hardware is only present on more recent Macintoshes. This was a disappointment, as I'd hoped to be able to switch the same mouse between my Mac and PC, which it seems will only be possible if I buy another USB dongle. (They do, fortunately, seem to be easily available for around a tenner.) The supplied dongle works fine with both Mac and PC.I should also mention the supplied documentation - or lack thereof. There are no instructions included on how to set up a Bluetooth Smart connection - I had to look online to find out that it wouldn't work! The web address in the supplied leaflet for the download of the mouse control software is wrong, which is also not great. Once you find and download the software (which is available for Windows or Mac) you can customise the buttons and controls to your liking.Speaking of buttons, this isn't short of them - there are the two normal left and right clicks, two middle buttons (one in the scroll wheel), back and forward buttons on the side and a "gesture" button on the base of the thumb rest. When combined with the software, this is designed to override the mouse movement itself for other functions - so, for example, you can set it so that when you hold down the gesture button and move the mouse up and down, it changes the volume on your PC, and moving left and right skips tracks in your media player. Not hugely intuitive in use, to be honest, but a nice additional feature. The back and forward buttons are quite small and close together, but with practice you can distinguish them by feel.There are two scroll wheels, one vertical in the centre of the mouse, and one horizontal under the thumb. Both have a nice weighting and a positive action.The mouse is rechargeable with the supplied USB cable - a charge is supposed to be good for up to 40 days use.This mouse has immediately become the one I will use with my PC from now on; it just feels so good in the hand. It's expensive, but feels very well built, so should last. I have to dock it a star for the use of Bluetooth Smart; I can see no reason why this can't have appeared as just a standard Bluetooth mouse, so for many people who want to gain the benefit of one mouse with two computers, you will immediately need to buy a second dongle. But other than that and the poor documentation, this gets a solid recommendation from me.

I currently use the MX Master with my Mac after being driven mad by the Magic Mouse, which is no doubt brilliant for some but did not suit my hand, which needed something to rest on. I could not fault the MX and the only glitch I have experienced has been very occasional random skating, which I believe is due to the Mac sometimes having an issue with the Logitech Unifying receiver. Nothing that causes any real issue, more of an ad hoc hiccup. The MX is perfect for my hand to rest on, movement is accurate and the buttons by the thumb are perfect for switching between Mac desktops.I recently took the plunge and bought a MacBook Pro because when working away,a combination of tablet and smartphone was too awkward to do more than read emails and send short notes. The extra security on the MacBook Pro (encrypted flashdrive and fingerprint identification) made it more viable but I get on with touchpads almost as well as I did the Magic Mouse and this provided a good opportunity to trial the MX 2S. Put it side by side with the MX and I can’t tell the difference excepting that the 2S happens to be grey rather than black.The 2S pairs perfectly with the MacBook without the need for a unifying receiver using Apple’s own Bluetooth stack, which was a relief (Apple sometimes, I think, deciding to plough its own furrow) and in many ways I couldn’t tell the difference between this version of the MX and the original. I gather from the specification that it is more accurate in term of movement and precision but for my work I am not sure that I would consciously notice this.The MX was quite simply very difficult to improve on. There are so many ergonomic programmable click and scroll functions and the thumb rests so perfectly on the platform (if right handed) that it already seemed perfection. Reading the specification it does have a trick or two up its sleeve (working on more device than one, although I am not sure I would ever need that) but in particular, it charges faster, holds charge for longer and can work on any surface including glass. This makes it particularly suitable for working away with the MacBook. So, this is gradual evolution rather than revolution. I doubt you will notice a world of difference from the MX but, just as when I recently changed my tyres for some that were quieter and with better grip, Logitech has no doubt taken a subtle but material step forward.If you are right handed I would go for the Master, which has a large platform for the thumb. For those who are left handed or want a smaller unit for working out and about the Anywhere has a smaller platform on both sides but is smaller (about an inch in width and length and half an inch in height). I have not tried the Anywhere and very much like the size of the MX and MX Master 2S, which enable my hand to rest fully.In my experience and spending perhaps six hours a day with a mouse, any of the MX represent flawless design and ergonomics. The concept and utility of Touchpads and Magic Mice I understand about as much as I do Twitter.

I own this mouse's predecessor, the Performance MX, and love it (my first photo shows the new MX Master on the left and its predecessor on the right). The MX Master is an improvement.(Regarding my photos, I uploaded them in order but sometimes Amazon jumbles them up when publishing the review. For example, sometimes they appear in order on a laptop but out of order on a mobile phone. I apologise in advance in case this happens).What I love about my old mouse - the Performance MX - is its beautiful design and, most of all, the scroll wheel which allows me to switch from the slow, ratcheted scrolling that we are all familiar with on any mouse to a flywheel where you just flick it and it freewheels almost as if friction-free.I use it on large pdfs and it is a joy.The MX Master retains that feature and adds to it. Now there is a thumb wheel for side-to-side accurate scrolling - great for spreadsheets (see photo 2).To the right of the thumb wheel are two elongated triangles for moving forward and backwards through internet pages (see photos 2 & 3, to the right of the side-to-side scroll wheel). These are harder to press than on the Performance MX (the predecessor), which is an advantage as you are much less likely to press them by accident. On the Performance MX I used to click their equivalent buttons by mistake with my thumb so often that I disabled them via the software - which made having them pointless. Photo 4 shows those buttons on the Performance MX – the two switches with two triangles on, where a mere touch triggered them. Photo 4 can be directly compared with photo 2 (old & new mice respectively).In the box you get the mouse, a USB-to-micro-USB lead for charging it, and a dongle (a 'Logitech Unifying receiver') for communicating with your computer (photo 5). The dongle is in the centre of the cable - it is tiny, so it does not stick out from the USB port when plugged in - critical if plugged into a laptop (so it does not catch on something and damage both the port & dongle).Any disadvantages?- Its predecessor had a user replaceable battery; the MX Master doesn't. That's annoying - built-in obsolescence. For that reason, I deduct one star.- Its predecessor came with a mains charger adaptor (i.e. a plug containing a USB port) plus a USB-to-micro-USB cable - the MX Master just has the latter. That's not a problem as most people own a mains adaptor. If you have the predecessor, keep its mains charger adaptor.- Like its predecessor, I am afraid that this is a mouse for right-handed people only.When you take the box apart, you will find what looks like a button cell inside the clear packaging (see photo 6, on the right, on the edge of the clear plastic). It isn't part of the mouse - it is just a magnet to keep the presentation box closed.Photos 7 & 8 show the presentation box, closed and open respectively. That is irrelevant if you buy it for yourself but arguably relevant if buying it as a present - the presentation is very slick.I am very pleased with this mouse.

I have other Logitech products which tend to be reasonably good quality and this mouse doesn’t disappoint, with this MX Master 3 being one of their flagship mice The box contained the mouse itself with an instructional sticker on the bottom of it (how to switch on, connection options and how to switch devices) and a USB-C port tucked away on the front for charging so I plugged it in for half an hour before first use and a full charge is supposed to last around 70 days. Note that you need to install the Logitech Options software to see battery percentage remaining. Aesthetically it’s a nice mouse in two-tone graphite grey featuring two primary buttons, a scroll wheel on top,another small button on top for switching bluetooth host, then a further scroll wheel and two buttons on the left-hand side. The shape of the mouse is quite pleasant for me with average sized hands although compared to my Logitech G602 mouse it has a slightly more angled shell which might perhaps suit smaller or more cupped hands better. It is of course not ambidextrous and I’m not aware of a lefthand version being available.First pairing to a 2015 MacBook Pro was very simple using bluetooth, you just discover it in the bluetooth section of System Preferences and you’re good to go with the basic functions. There is of course the Logitech Options software (available for Mac and Windows if you want to take advantage of the extra features like click-dragging, i.e. you hold down a button and move the mouse. The Logitech Options software also lets you set up profiles for different applications so for example you can have some pre-defined settings for MS Word which then change to a different set of settings when working in MS Excel. You can also customise these settings on a per app basis giving you a lot of flexibility. Speaking of software, Mac users who don’t want to install the Logitech Options software can use an alternative like Steermouse to configure the buttons and wheels but you will lose things like the app-specific settings.Tracking performance was good, using it both on a Victsing mouse mat and on a wooden desk and working with photo editing software on the Mac, documents, spreadsheets, browsing and general app usage was all fine with no noticeable delays or jumping. What I’m not so sure of is the gaming performance (as I’m not a gamer) but to be fair Logitech do not pitch this as a gaming mouse. The scroll wheel on top has a nice weighty feel to it and transitions between free-spin and ratchet modes very nicely, the result of Logitech using electro magnets to control the type of scrolling.Packaging is almost all cardboard and so is recyclable which is so important these days. My only real criticism is that this mouse feels expensive for what it is at nearly £100. Four buttons and two scroll wheels you might think would come a little cheaper, although you can save on multiple mice given the MX Master 3’s support for up to three bluetooth devices at the click of a button.

This mouse has been designed to be a natural fit for the hand and unlike a standard smaller mouse, it is more supportive on the hand and wrist to use and you can feel the difference straight away.There are two scroll wheels, one on the top, which either gradually click by click, moves you down the page, or with a quick flick, the wheel freewheels and will take you down to the bottom (or you can stop it partway with your finger). The quick flick works quite well for me when spinning the wheel towards me, but I find it harder to spin it away from me (flicking away from me) to get it to freewheel, but I'm sure with practise I will crack it.The second scroll wheel is on the side of the mouse and is operated with your thumb and this allows you to scroll from left to right and back again, which is useful on occasion when you want to view wider pages/landscape documents.There are the standard left and right click buttons on the top of the mouse either side of the central scroll wheel and there are also clever page forward and page back buttons on the side of the mouse, which are very useful once you get into the habit of using them.Finally you can program your mouse with gestures which are activated by pressing the gesture button under your thumb and then moving the mouse forwards, backwards, left or right. I found that these movements were fairly unnatural and unwieldy, so I don't think that I will be using these on the whole.The mouse is easy to charge with the enclosed USB cable and takes a relatively short time to charge and claims to last for up to 40 days without needing recharging (time will tell). There are three little lights along the side which indicate how much battery life is left, so that you can ensure that the mouse is recharged should you be taking it away from a power source with a laptop for example.I have connected the mouse to my PC via the Unifying receiver (which is one of the USB port tiny little buttons, which you can leave permanently plugged in. I am currently having my Windows 8 laptop repaired, but when I have it back, I am hopeful that it has Bluetooth Smart technology. The online guide assures me that I just need to open my laptop's Device Manager and look for Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator - if it is there, it is compatible. If it isn't, I shall get another unifying receiver instead, but I imagine that Bluetooth Smart technology must be the new thing to have - but as an amateur I really don't understand how or why this is different from Bluetooth, but the manual is clear that this is not Bluetooth compatible, only Bluetooth Smart compatible.You can therefore pair this device with a number of different computers and can choose on the bottom of the mouse which one you are connecting with - really simple.I also like that the laser is really sensitive and can cope even on glass surfaces as one of our offices has a glass table and most mice won't work on it - this one, I am pleased to say, really does.

I'm sold...love it. Although I use a regular mouse at work, at home for years and years I've used trackball mice, I always found them more intuitive rather than having to move your hand around they stay put and if you have limited desk space they are a boon. But this Logitech mouse I really like. The feel is so comfortable, your hand rests naturally as it should all the buttons/wheels easily within reach without having to change your hands position. It's a good size, I have fairly large hands and although it's not as big as my last trackball it isn't a problem it just fits right. It glides really nicely with minimal resistance and as most mice these days it doesn't require a mouse mat and because of its "darkfield tracking" (very Dr.Who) it'll work on practically any surface with precise results apparently. The main scroll wheel can be set to two modes, freespin and ratchet, the freespin is a joy to use when browsing through a document quickly, it also has a side scroll wheel which allows you to scroll a document / web page horizontally. At the bottom left hand side of the mouse is a gesture button which lies exactly under where your thumb rests with a little pressure keeping it depressed it will allow you to swipe through open screens, if you use the same button and do a swift click on Windows it shows you the screens you have opened so you can quickly click on one and bring it back up - a feature I haven't stopped using. Next to the side scroll wheel are a couple of smaller buttons which are for moving forward/backwards when browsing web pages, or using windows explorer or looking at photographs/pictures stored on disc e.t.c. Either way all the buttons are programmable to your preferences once you have installed the software.It comes with a charge lead and a wifi dongle, but you can also use bluetooth to connect it to your PC which is what I have done.It's a lot of money for a mouse but things like this I often think can be worth the extra expense, I've spent a fair bit on mice through the years for home use and even replacing my ones at work when I needed to try and avoid RSI, so far it's worked after over 30 years using them and I'm lucky enough to get this supremely comfortable mouse to review. Find the mouse that suits you and allows your fingers to move without putting pressure on your wrist.This though has me really torn, I can't find fault with it....I absolutely love it but I still love my old trackball, it's hard to break away from it and if I was being picky about this it's the fact that I'm moving a mouse around a desk rather than it being stationary but that's being churlish it's what most people are used to. Either way one will be making it's way to my workplace to upgrade my current mouse there and one will have pride of place at home and I have a strong feeling it'll be this one due to it's extra functionality, it's just so nice to use. But I'm happy in the knowledge I'll have a brilliant quality mouse whatever I do.

When I received the MX Master 2S I was excited about it.The first thing I noticed when I took the Master 2S out of the box was it's sleek design. It's more of a full-size mouse than its compact counterpart the "Anywhere 2S".When connecting the mouse, you can either use the USB receiver or pair it via Bluetooth. I did use the USB receiver to begin with but have since switched to Bluetooth due to a limited number of USB ports on my laptop. It would have been nice to have somewhere to store the USB receiver when not being used as I would be concerned about it getting lost.The Master 2S feels very comfortable in my hand and the thumb rest, with its moulded surface,means that air flows around nicely and it doesn't seem to get sweaty or sticky as it would with other mice.The main two buttons are very well integrated and clicking is effortless. The scroll wheel in the middle is one of the standout features. As a Software Developer I spend a lot of time trawling through large log files looking for errors and issues and having the freewheel speed scroll feature makes life a lot easier. When the freewheel is slows down it locks back in to place itself. Directly behind the wheel is a Mode shift button which allows it to change between the click and freewheel mode.There are two additional triangular shaped buttons on the side of the Master 2S which are very easy to use despite being quite small and close to each other. By default, they work as forward and back buttons in most Web Browsers. There is an additional side scroll wheel beside these buttons which lets you side scroll by default if there is content which extends past your display.It claims to have a 70-day battery life between charges which means you won't have worry about it going dead in the middle of a game or when working. It has a micro-USB charging cable which is nice so you don't have to worry about replacing batteries. You can also use the mouse while charging it on the cable which is a very handy feature.Usually I would use a mouse mat due to working on shiny desks, but this mouse seems to have no problem with that which is due to the Darkfield sensor technology built in.There are some additional features which are quite cool such as Logitech Flow which allowed me to share the mouse between my laptop and desktop and even copy and paste files from one to the other. The buttons on the Master 2S can also be customised and profiles set up for different applications so you can have the buttons do different things depending on what application you have open.I think the Master 2S is one of the best mice I have ever used, and the ergonomic design means that you can use it comfortably for long periods of time. With a long battery life and a high precision sensor it can be used for a wide range of activities from gaming, drawing/design and day-to-day work.
