I've had an MX Master mouse (the "2" for maybe 8-9 years then the "3" for 2-3 years now) and love it. Great performance, great battery life, fantastic design and feel. On Windows I definitely do not love the 150Mb program to manage it (surely sending a torrent of unnecessary telemetry data back to Logitech. I found Solaar a couple months ago after getting repeatedly frustrated with bluetooth connection issues. It really is exactly what it needs to be. Better interface than Logitech's, simple, lightweight. Devs have my thanks; what a great show of the goodness of open source software.

I was thinking about this as I needed to get another mouse, my Mx Master 2's scroll wheel is nasty/didn't want to bring it into the office... But I ended up just getting a 3 and bringing that in $100 damn... I'm trying to avoid having multiples of something eg. a laptop barely use.

Trying the MX master 2 in a random Japanese computer store was what finally made me realise that my prefence for the Microsoft Intellimouse wasn't big or clever, and that mice genuinely have improved in the last twenty years. I'm not surprised to find Apple fans would use it.

Just to add another datapoint, I've happily used a Logitech MX Master 2 alongside Airpod Pros, both connected using Bluetooth, to either an M1 MacBook Air or a Microsoft Surface. Is it an issue with just AirPods rather than Pros?

Neutral

Even though I use a mx master 2 I strongly dislike logitech product. It’s tacky and minimum acceptable quality. Like Dell laptops. Opening the box you cant tell where the shipping packaging ends and the product begins.

here [0] is a teardown of the current generation compared to the previous, to show how much design and attention to detail goes in to them. I was an MX Master 2 user for years, and bought a 3, along with an MX Keys [1] at the beginning of covid WFH. still going strong 2 years later, and I would buy both again in a heartbeat. 0: https://blog.bolt.io/logitech-mx-master-3-vs-2s/ 1: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/products/keyboards/mx-keys-wi...

I also think this but as a counterpoint, I use Logitech MX Master 2. It has a micro-usb port for charging, but only connects wirelessly. I think this is a necessary decision, because the only way this could work well with both a wired and wireless mode is turning off the wireless part when plugged in. But to the OS this would be a different mouse, with potentially different settings, causing confusion for users. Amusingly, you can find many forum posts online, where users complain that this mouse "isn't working even when plugged in", with replies of "mine works when plugged in" (unknowingly using wireless).

Is it the same tech their wireless mice use, or some variation? I've had really great experiences with that on my MX Master 2.

Logitech K780. I have two of these and two Logitech MX Master 2s mice. I tried a mechanical keyboard but didn't really take to it. I underestimated the inconvenience of it not being made for Mac nor have any media keys (iKBC MF87).
