So I bought this because I'm a PC mouse enthusiast of sorts. And I'm always on the hunt for the best mouse in the world!Available in three colours, Black/Gold, White, and the one I went for, Midnight Teal. This mouse has a total of seven buttons, all of which are programmable by downloading the Logitech software. The software is called Logitech Options and is available from their website. In the software, as well as programming buttons, you can change the pointer speed. And that's about it.This isn't a gaming mouse though, so of course there's no lights on it to change the colour of etc and the DPI of the pointer is only 200 – 4000 and these can only be set in an increment of 50.That's ok though for most professional users.But it doesn't give you any info of what setting this is currently set to, it just has a slider. That's it.Programming buttons was as easy as it should be. For each button you get a selection of functions that you can select from, or you can create a macro. This was easy enough to do.The mouse has two ways to connect to your PC. It comes with a USB wireless receiver, and it also has Bluetooth built in. But you should know that your PC must have 'Bluetooth Low Energy Technology' for it to work. My PC doesn't but my laptop does, therefore my PC has the USB receiver plugged in and my laptop just connects via Bluetooth. Both work very well I might add. The mouse connects first time EVERY time with no delays. You can also pair this mouse with up to three devices. There is a button at the bottom you can press to toggle through the three device profiles when needed, more on this later. They can even have different button layouts for each.The thumb rest is also a button itself as with Logitech's other MX models. Pressing this will allow you to view all the apps you have running at the time. Very handy. But of course this can be reprogrammed too. The thumb area has a rubberised coating which feels quite nice on the thumb but I will say I preferred the Performance MX thumb grip to this one as it had more grip.The rubberised area stops as it meets the back and top of this mouse. Here it turns to a plastic material which does have a slight mat coating which feels OK when the palm is resting on it and so far doesn't seem to make me sweat while using it, which is always a plus.The far side where your pinky finger rests is also rubberised for comfort. This makes lifting the mouse all the much easier unlike their earlier G602 gaming mouse.The thumb side of the mouse has a side scrolling wheel and two buttons. I must say the placement of these buttons could have been better thought out. They seem to have squashed them together. I think it would of worked better if there was just one button either side of the scroll wheel.I have reprogrammed these buttons to be cut and paste as I do a lot of file management on my computer systems so I use those functions all the time.The side scrolling wheel is of a beautiful quality. I could scroll this wheel all day as I love the smoothness of it. Unfortunately that's where my love for this wheel dies a death. The rubberised grip on the wheel attracts dust and small debris. Once something is stuck inside the grip it is very hard to remove it. Also I don't really often have a reason to side scroll really. Seems a bit of a novelty. Unless you use spreadsheets a lot. There is good news though. You can reprogramme it. You don't have as many options with this though. For example you cant assign a macro to this wheel. But what I did was select the 'page back and forwards' option. This means when I scroll upwards it goes a page forwards and when I scroll downwards it goes backwards. This might seem a little weird at first but I got used to it surprisingly fast.The main vertical scroll wheel has the 'free-wheel' function MX users will be used to. By default the button above the wheel engages and releases the gears of the wheel. This way if your looking through a long document or webpage, you can press this button to disengage the gears and the wheel will spin freely, allowing you to scroll down or up extremely fast. I personally decided to change this button to 'Save', and then enable the 'SmartShift' option in the software. This means that the gears will stay engaged on the wheel. But if I give the wheel a sharp spin it will sense this and automatically switch the wheel into free spin mode. It will then re-engage the gear after it stops. And this works really well! I love this feature. And you can even set the sensitivity of this.OK so the feature that really sold this mouse to me was the FLOW system. Enabling this in the software means you can drag the mouse pointer to the edge of the screen on you PC and then it will appear on the screen of your Laptop. It is quite handy if you often use your laptop on your PC desk at the same time while using your PC. This way you can use just one mouse for the two computers and amazingly you can even copy files from one to another. You press copy on your PC for example, then move your mouse to your laptop screen and click paste. Whallah! Unfortunately you can't drag and drop files but that's not a big problem.So all in all this mouse is impressive in certain ways and a let down in others. I feel the mouse needs more buttons. One or two more on top like the G602, and one or two more OR just a reconfigure of button placement on the side. The thumb wheel, although a nice novelty, it needs to have more programmable options to be useful.The size and ergonomics of the mouse is good and I wouldn't say much improvement is needed there. But the feel of it could be nicer. The battery seems to be amazing. I've had it just over 2 months and I've only charged it once since it came out of the box. The battery indicator was on two lights when I opened it and it is was still on two lights after over 2 weeks usage. It boasts up to 70 days of use between charges and it seems to be telling the truth.What's great though is it's supplied with a USB cable which you can plug into the front of the mouse in order to charge it and keep on using it while you do. Brill!Another quick mention too is the dark field laser technology which is superb. This mouse will work on even clear glass as long as it's a minimum of 4mm thick. And the range of this mouse is 10m.If you'd like to see my video version of this review then head to YT and paste the following into their search box:TUgyQLlIrloAlso, if this was helpful please click the 'Yes' button below as then I'll know I helped someone :)

I’m mainly testing this MX Master 3 (not the 2S) mouse in comparison to my current favourite mouse, also a Logitech, the G703 which at time of writing is a similar price. Despite being from the same manufacturer, this MX Master mouse is a very different beast, in lots of ways.For a start there’s the decidedly right-handed shape, obviously, but also the weight. I weighed my G703 at 105g, and this weighs in at 145g, so not too far off 50% heavier- and it’s something you’re really conscious of when you move it around. It takes a bit of getting used to. Previous gaming mice I’ve tried in the past (cheaper than this one) have had optional metal weights that you could put in the base to control the weight,which might seem like a novelty for fussy gamers but I found it useful just for everyday office use even- finding a nicely weighted mouse counts for a lot if you’re going to be pointing at things all day. For me, this mouse is just a tad too heavy.By contrast, the vertical scroll wheel is unbelievably light, and rolls very easily. What I originally assumed was the DPI change button (which it normally is on a lot of mice) is actually a switch button that switches between free rolling and ratchet modes on the scroll wheel- which personally I’ve never been that fussy about, and I’ll happily use either. But it’s a neat trick and mechanically quite clever.The horizontal scroll wheel is a bit of a novelty, I’ve never crossed paths with one of those before. At first I thought it might be a bit pointless, as switching between tabs in Chrome with it feels strangely counter-intuitive. But when I opened up Adobe Premiere and tested it out for horizontal timeline scrolling, its value was immediately clear. Video editors *need* a horizontal scroll wheel, even if they haven’t realised it yet.The click sound of the main buttons is surprisingly basic-sounding and plasticky. I know loud mechanical clicks are in fashion among some gamers who like making as much noise as possible, but if this is meant to be more of a professional business mouse, I really would’ve expected a more cultured click sound- or a completely silent one, even. The click sound of my G703 is much nicer, and quieter, than the click on this MX Master. The click is a genuine downside, if you or other people have to listen to you clicking a mouse for the whole of your working day.The extra buttons on the left hand side are quite complex. The gesture button allows some neat shortcut techniques, if you can be bothered to learn them- for example holding the button down with your thumb whilst rolling the mouse downwards is a ‘show desktop’ shortcut, equivalent to pressing Windows+D on Windows. I can’t see myself using these too frequently, especially since I’ve already learned the keyboard shortcuts which are just as easy, if not easier.Being able to switch connections between three different devices is very handy. Of course there’s only one USB receiver in the box, but if you use that for your desktop PC and you’ve also got a laptop that has Bluetooth, it’s neat to be able to switch between them at the touch of a button (or rather the 3-second-press of a button, but anyway).I find it strange that despite being the same manufacturer, it even comes with a completely different software system- Logitech Options, instead of G-Hub. There are pros and cons to each, but wouldn’t it have been easier just to have one app to rule them all, as it were? G-Hub is of course the gamer’s version with all sorts of glam colour choice functions, whereas this is a mouse with its serious business face on. The app forces you to log in or register before you can use it, which is a tad annoying, but if you’ve already got a Logitech account from some other product, you can use that username and password (if you can remember them). The product tour tells you what you want to know without having to unbox the manual.At time of writing I haven’t been in a position to test out Logitech Flow yet- it’s a fascinating idea, but until I can find a keyboard that magically ties in with it, it’s probably going to be more trouble than it’s worth.There are certain aspects of this mouse that are really excellent. The horizontal scroll is a video editor’s dream, for example. It’s comfortable for a right-hander and it looks stylish and professional. But unfortunately there are just a few too many niggles- mostly the weight, for me, but also smaller things like the lack of a DPI button in the usual place or a rather uncultured and cheap-sounding click sound- that mean that it doesn’t quite reach 5 stars for me. But it’s very close. If you’re a video editor then you definitely want this mouse- but for everybody else, regardless of whether you’re a gamer or not, I’d recommend the G703 instead.

A good multi-button mouse is always my preferred input device and usually it’s a gaming mouse and usually a Logitech one, so this Logitech MX Master 3 Wireless Mouse seemed like an obvious next step. In some ways it’s a grown-up gaming mouse with the emphasis on ergonomics and performance leaving out the LED lightshows that come built into many gaming mice these days. It’s a solidly built device which feels good in your hand and is coated with a non-slip ‘velvet’ texture on many surfaces. The most obvious characteristic is the wing which extends from the left side (making this very much a right-handed mouse) which has a perpendicular (to the standard) mouse wheel and a slightly hidden button,used to trigger gesture controls, on the lower surface. There are also two side buttons on the mouse and they’re positioned lower than on some mice because of the thumbwheel above them. This could make them awkward to avoid pressing but because of that extended wing you tend to position your thumb lower than normal on this mouse, especially if you like to use the lower gesture button, so it’s not an issue once you get used to it.The mouse is wireless and you get the option of connecting via Bluetooth or by using the included Logitech radio dongle which plugs into a spare USB port. The dongle isn’t using Bluetooth (as far as I can tell) and isn’t recognised as a Bluetooth device by your computer. The mouse can remember three paired devices and there’s a button on the base to quickly switch between them. To get full use of the mouse you need to install the Logitech Options app/driver on your PC/Mac and this lets you access the various options. Note this Options app is different to the other Logitech app’s and you don’t need any others unless you have other older devices.The app allows you to configure all of the buttons to suit yourself, even the small button on top just behind the scroll-wheel. On previous Logitech mice I’ve owned that button has been a mechanical switch to choose between the two scroll-wheel modes, the freewheel option or the ratchet option, but this mouse seems to use magnetism to create the ratchet feel and so you don’t need a mechanical button to switch between them. It’s very clever and once you get used to the flywheel action it’s very difficult to do without it. Note the side thumbwheel only has a standard soft-ratchet action and doesn’t function as a button, unlike the main scroll-wheel. The button on the base of the wing comes preconfigured to use gesture actions — you press the button and then move the mouse up/down/left/right to trigger four different actions — but you can customise the wing button for other features if you prefer. You can set different button configurations for every app you own and have them switch automatically as you move between app’s - you get a few ready-made config’s for common apps but it’s easy to edit them or add more. This is such a boon if you use complex app’s like Photoshop or video-editors, you can configure the buttons with all your most-used functions and speed up your workflow considerably.There are some limitations to the configurations, the Options app limits certain features to certain buttons, but they’re mostly logical and not too difficult to work around if need be. The Options app is nicely presented and keeps things reasonably simple, for example you can adjust mouse tracking speed with a single slider rather than being presented with separate polling and sensitivity options. The app is also where you’ll find the instructions and the only thing included in the box is one of those multi-language standards and safety sheets.The mouse is recharged with a USB-C cable which is included but it seems to be very frugal with power and you shouldn’t have to do it too often. It’s a moderately large mouse and fits my (large) hands well and becomes second nature very quickly. For years I’ve been reconfiguring gaming mice for use with Photoshop and other app’s and it’s great to switch to a pro-level mouse that’s designed for that purpose. I got used to it within hours and it’s my new favourite input device and in future I think I’ll keep the gaming mice for playing games - although this one’s pretty good at that too.

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!

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.

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.

Being that i have been a LONG time user of my Scimitar Pro both at work and at home (yes, i took my mouse to work with me, perks of a family business :D) and i've been debating getting a more work focused set of peripherals to use at work for a long time, this is part 1 of the puzzle, so lets just jump into it.Let's start with aesthetics and the physical stuff, I bought the Midnight Teal version, and it is beautiful, the colour pops enough to show off all the little details but is discrete enough to use at work, great!The mouse is "Hand-Crafted for Comfort" and yeah, it really is, like, my Scimitar Pro is a comfortable mouse and a really comfortable gaming mouse, but this just blows it out the water,its quite amazing just how comfortable it really is.It has 6 Programmable buttons (the side scroll wheel is counted as a button as well for some reason? idfk): one in the thumbpad, the back and forward buttons, the side scroll wheel, the mode switch button, and the middle mouse button, the left and right click are not customisable. Also as a side note the forward and back functions ACTUALLY WORK IN macOS. boom shock horror, was totally expected though :3it's also equipped with a beefed up Darkfield Laser Sensor, with a 400 - 4000dpi range compared to i believe it was 400 - 1600dpi on the OG MX Master.Ok then, Connectivity, how does it do?Bluetooth 4.0 "Smart" and the Tried and True Unifying Connector, which i am using at the moment (My Work Computer is a Mid-2011 Core i5 iMac 21.5' and that has BT2.1+EDR so no Bluetooth on there, but it works flawlessly on my P20 Pro (the only Bluetooth Smart Ready device i have on me at the time of this review) so thats good) and connects super fast and has no stuttering in macOS, though the side scroll wheel is a bit temper-mental, no clue why though.It can connect to 3 devices at any given time (not all at once though), which does give me incentive to actually take it home and use it for video editing and such. i'd need another unifying receiver though.The new Generation of MX mice have support for Logitech's Flow software, bundled as an option in Logitech Options. It's basically Synergy (which allows you to share one set of peripherals between multiple computers/laptops) but only for these Logitech mice and MUCH simpler to setup.What is this "Logitech Options (LO)" Software?If you have ever used the Logitech Gaming Software (LGS) with the Logitech G peripherals, its similar to that but LO has way less bugs, a much cleaner and less gamer-y interface and everything is laid out in places that make sense. its a fantastic piece of software and makes me wonder why Logitech don't just rebuild LGS with LO as a base and then add the gamer-y stuff (but hey, thats just an opinion, my opinion, take it with a grain of salt pls kthx), LGS would work so much better.Overall: 7/10 - Needs more water - IGNYeah Nah, but seriously its a 10/10 from me chief, definitely worth the mini investment for it!

The MX Master is a feature-heavy and well-manufactured mouse, though the price makes it prohibitively expensive for most.Probably the most important thing is that it is extremely comfortable to use. From the ergonomic shape to the satisfying click and feel of clicking buttons to the textured grip on the sides, every effort has been made to make the device as comfortable to use as possible.The scroll wheel can be manually swapped between a more textile scroll and a more free scrolling mode using a small button between and to the bottom of the left and right click buttons. It also automatically swaps into the free scrolling mode when scrolling continuously, which is a thoughtful feature.There are two thumb buttons,which has become a near-standard feature of mice these days, though here they are like two small ridges, so they take up less space and are therefore less likely to be pressed in error and are easily identifiable.There is also a "gesture" button in the thumb rest, which is held down while moving the mouse to perform certain actions. I haven't started using this feature yet, but have experimented enough with it to know that it basically works, though it feels a little awkward. It may be something you get used to or it may be just a less useful additional feature.The last control available is a thumb scroll wheel, for scrolling left to right. I've found it doesn't work without Logitech Options running, but works fine then. It takes a little getting used to but is a useful feature.The mouse can be connected either with the dongle supplied with it (which is relatively small but does protrude enough that I recommend removing it before packing a laptop in a bag, etc, to avoid damage) or with Bluetooth. It can be connected to up to three devices at a time and there's a small button on the bottom that instantly swaps control between each of the three devices. So far, I've had the mouse connected to one device with the dongle and another with Bluetooth and have had no problems.The rechargeable battery seems to hold a fairly good charge. From what I've seen, it won't need more than a weekly recharge even with heavy use. The charging port is micro-USB, which is what comes as standard with most portable devices these days.The mouse comes packaged in what is essentially a display box. It's a nice package, if that kind of thing matters to you. The package includes the mouse, dongle and also a USB charging cable.I don't really have any serious criticisms of the device. The price might be a little inflated by some of the less useful features, but it's still a fair price for the product as packaged. If it's an item you can afford and will make use of, I fully recommend it.

I have an idea: Let's find another digit under which we can place extra buttons and wheels; one whose primary job doesn't involve gripping and manoeuvring! I'm suggesting the little finger. The pinkie. The one that just drags around the mouse-mat uselessly serving no practical function. Let's design a mouse with buttons and/or wheels that can be operated by the pinkie, leaving the thumb clear of all booby-traps. Because, let's face it, putting buttons under a person's mouse-thumb is just inviting trouble. This is my third attempt at reviewing the MX Master 3. The previous reviews were, perhaps, a little less angry.But each time I spot an error in my work and attempt to reposition the cursor at the appropriate place to make an edit I accidentally press a button with my thumb that takes me to a different page and my entire review is lost and I have to start again.And all this time-wasting frustration is currently occurring during basic and minimal activity. During intense and adrenaline-soaked gameplay it is frankly intolerable!I should point out that for the purposes of actually getting this review finished, I have reverted to my regular mouse, which was a fraction of the price of the MX Master 3, is more comfortable, more attractive, includes fully configurable LED light shows, actually has more buttons and functions than the MX Master 3 (also fully configurable), and includes thumb buttons too. But where the MX Master 3 forces your thumb onto the buttons and makes it impossible to grip the mouse without pressing them, my cheaper, better gaming mouse places the thumb buttons out of the way in an overhanging section of the mouse that your thumb can't reach unless you deliberately move it there. And I never have any accidental clicks. (However, I'd still be happier with pinkie-buttons!)So, where my review was originally going to talk about the various good qualities of the MX Master 3, like its smooth, gliding operation, it's excellent wireless connectivity, the usefulness of its software, the pleasant feel of its rubberised surface, and its overall superior build quality, I am now too irritated by what I consider to be a major design flaw to focus on anything else.Lots of mice, most in fact, seem to insist on placing buttons under the user's thumb. I just don't get it. Am I really alone in this? It drives me crazy!But in case it really is just me (and I've admitted in earlier mouse reviews that my hands are annoyingly poorly designed for mouse-work), I've awarded 4 stars to this product because of its various other redeeming characteristics. And that's about as fair as I can be right now.
