Logitech MX Master MX Master 3

Parent had this exact issue: > getting repeatedly frustrated with bluetooth connection issues My suggestion to use the bolt reciever was in response to that. Why you suggest to me and parent to just forget about it because you have such great experience is depressing to me. I have the MX Master 3 and MX Keys Mini. Using Solaar on Linux for 2.5 years without a single issue. I did have more issues using pure bluetooth with an external bt antenna (intel bluetooth hardware).

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.

Thats funny. I have a mx master 3 and its handsdown the best workmouse i have ever had. I work in strange places and the mouse works on every surface. Even glass, mirrors, server doors, skin, pants. I hate the app with a passion and use BTT.

Ableton seems to run under Proton (a compatability layer intended for games) with reasonable-but-slightly-higher-latency of 16-20ms per user reports. This should generally work for games of various origins as well. Extra mouse buttons should generally map correctly. For me, my Logitech MX Master 3 works under Arch. You may need to add udev rules if your mouse generally works but additional buttons don't seem bindable. Try an Arch linux based distro, Omarchy or Manjaro. Most of these tweaky things will generally work better since you will be on the latest versions of software.

For those that don’t want to click on this mostly contentless article, it’s the MX Master 3. I also have one and I can confirm that it’s a hell of a mouse. I would recommend it for nearly every type of intensive computer work: web browser stuff, CAD, software development, spreadsheets, editing tasks, anything really. I’ve had people try to convince me to switch before and I never believed it’d make a difference until eventually a friend (mechanical engineer) just gave me hers and now I can’t live without it. Tip, if you don’t want to use the Logitech bloatware the apps LinearMouse and Mac Mouse Fix are both open source and help you get some of the advanced functionality back.

> All the already pleasant Linux desktop needs is the kind of hardware ecosystem polish Jobs’ era Apple used to become relevant again. I keep hearing this, over and over again. But I plug in my Magic Trackpad to my GNOME desktop and it works fine. My MX Master 3 works great, and avoids the gesture emulation mode that makes it feel sluggish on Mac. My Nvidia hardware has better driver support on Linux than anywhere else, my Android handset integrates with the desktop better than it ever did on Windows or Mac, my XM4s support the LDAC codec that my iPad and Macbook won't. My old Thinkpad still gets frequent updates and supports all the same software it had at launch. What people really want is brand identity - I get it. It's fun to play as part of the "in-group" fighting against some well-defined evil like Microsoft. That was part of Apple's marketing from the start, there's no need to hide their light under a technical bushel. But Linux simply isn't that, it's never been about the snide remarks or assumption-reaffirming "I'm a Linux" TV commercials. Linux is simply an open software project, warts and all. There isn't any hardware you can buy (or I would argue, even any hardware you can make ) to fix those issues. Switching to Linux a psychological roadblock, even if you consider MacOS to be functionally superior desktop OS. The situation for OSes today is absolutely pitiful, so I understand where the author is coming from here. But they seem to be going through the final st

> Users aren't designers, they don't know what they want and will put up with bad experiences because they don't know it can be better. First, I definitely know what I want from my computer. Second, flipping my mouse over and being forced to stop using it is an objectively worse experience than plugging it in for charging while using. I have an MX Master 3 which is also wireless and charges with a cord. While it's charging, I definitely have a degraded experience relative to the wireless one, so I unplug as soon as I can (I sometimes don't even wait for the full charge!) to go back to the better experience. Never once have I considered keeping it connected indefinitely.

The first MX Master I got sometime in 16 lasted almost 6-7 years. I don’t mind spending that if my hand will be ergonomically stable for long term use. I recently upgraded to the new MX Master 3? And even got myself the Mx keyboard. Loving it!

I have been using a MX Master 3 (non-S), and an MX Anywhere 2S for the past few years on a daily basis, on multiple devices (Windows, MacOS and Linux). Bluetooth has been working flawlessly every time. I don't think I have ever used the unifying receiver dongle. This is why I don't understand the DongleHider+ here. If you don't want the dongle, why not just connect via Bluetooth?

Yes, exactly - I did the ctrl cmd switch previously, but then there's 1. Magic Keyboard with no "fn" button. 2. Macbooks own keyboard with FN button. Which really messes with me, because my pinky expects the left most button to be the CTRL action button. All of it messes with my brain so hard - it makes those little actions hurt me almost every time. And as you said, different sets of terminals drive me just so crazy. I might try the settings, but I also overall hate the MacOS settings, as it seems it's all just so obscure and weirdly limited, like someone has given me those random options that do not adhere to me at all. As mentioned previously, no easy ability to turn off acceleration, which keeps gaslighting me and not feeling right even after using CLI to turn it off. My solution has been to opt just for a mouse, but Magic Mouse feels extremely terrible and awkward to hold. I have Logitech MX Master 3 - which feels nice, but not with Macbook. It sometimes randomly starts to skip and lag, I have to reset it. And it still feels like at times some force is working against me when I'm trying to move the mouse. I still feel it just somehow working against me even if I have turned off the acceleration, despite it working well with Windows. And then the MacBook animations, which feel horrible. The jumping up down thing, feels just annoying. The genie effect, terrible, the having to move the app to install it and then no loading indicator, horrible. I know I can turn off the Geni…

amazingly, perhaps, on my laptop, i have a touchpad AND a perfectly viable 3 button button zone. I do love the "real" mouse i use on my desktop system (logitech mx master 3), but there's no reason why a laptop can't "natively" support both mouse button and touchpad interaction styles.

I dunno their mice are ok. I've got a G203 on the PC and an MX Master 3 on the mac and they are both excellent. The G203 is the best mouse I've used since the MS optical mice. Only downside is you have to turn all the RGB lights crap off on the G203.

MX Master 3 mouse. Stopped the hand/wrist pain caused by other mice and can use on any surface. HDMI switch. Switch monitor between machines. USB switch. Switch peripherals between machines. Used to use an arduino with a rangefinder and led matrix to notify when coworkers would be behind me. Always had headphones on and usually would get hit with a jump scare from them tapping me or waving hands in front of my face. Also, had a coworker who routinely interrupted throughout the day just to gab and at times I wouldn't take my headphones off. A bit of a cold shoulder but they were excessive with the interruptions

I'm firmly in the Logitech camp - I have a bunch of dongles that pair to multiple mice and keyboards across a number of devices. My favourite Logitech keyboard is the K580 ( https://www.logitech.com/en-nz/products/keyboards/k580-multi... ) which is small and thin, can connect to two devices, and supports both Bluetooth and dongle connections. I use this with the MX Master 3 mouse, which also supports both Bluetooth and dongles. I do have a couple of nice mechanical keyboards too, but I find that most mechanical keyboards sit way too high off the desk so require an additional wrist rest to be comfy.

What room do you use in the house? Living in a one-bedroom apartment, so I have set my work desk to my bedroom. I once did my work on my "music corner" in the other room but quickly realized that it hindered my work since it was so easy to pick some instrument and start noodling with it. Do you have a special desk? I use a standing desk from IKEA. What monitors do you have? Just some random 27inch screen. Nothing special. Keyboard? I used Microsoft's Ergonomic keyboard for a long time. However, I recently wanted to get some lightweight keyboard for traveling and bought Apple's tenkeyless Magic Keyboard, which works great. It also seems to be pretty much the only regular keyboard that doesn't make my forearms burst into fire since I was grown so used to ergonomic keyboards. Maybe it is due to its low profile. I don't know. Nowadays, I pretty much use the Magic keyboard solely. Mouse? Logitech MX Master 3. I have been looking for some vertical mouses. Do you work from a laptop? Yes. Do you move around the house? Occasionally. What other equipment? Noise-cancelling headphones.

I am fortunate to have a basement. I have an L-shaped uplift standing desk. I recently upgraded to an M1 Max Macboox pro, and I driver 4 external monitors with this. The main monitor is a 34" wide screen, the others are all 27". I "require" that the vertical resolution of all monitors be the same, at 1440, so that dragging windows between monitors is easier. I use an Apple keyboard with touch Id, and a Logitech Mx Master3 mouse. I have a Blue microphone for video conferences. This is mounted to the desk behind the monitors on a boom, and hangs over the monitors but out of the scree area. I also have a Logitech webcam, since the laptop is off to the side. I use OWC thunderbolt dock for 2 monitors, and a second thunderbolt to dual HDMI for the other 2. Works like a charm. I don't move around the house much, since my setup is so custom. If I travel for a few days, I'll bring the laptop and a small Asus USB-C portable monitor. If I travel for longer periods of time, I have a pelican Air case that I am able to fit 3 monitors into. These are 24" QHD monitors, so all running 2560x1440 resolution. I'd like to upgrade those 2560x1440 monitors to 27", but might need to get a new pelican air case, or get more careful with monitors in the existing case. "Most" of my work is fine on the Mac, but some requires windows. I have a "company" PC laptop for this purpose, but also have my own "PC" Desktop with an 8 core i9, very fast nVME disk, and lots of memory. I use both of the PC's via Micr

- ‘86 Winnie RV - Nomad Internet: It’s RV friendly cell data service with high caps. ~400GB monthly with version or T-mobile variants - Work MacBook Pro - Personal MacBook Air: The M1 is wild fast - Adjustable Desk: Cheapest one on Amazon - Keychron K8 Mechanical Keyboard: Great keyboard for the price - Logitech Master MX3 Mouse: Best mouse I’ve ever used, hands down. - Crappy Dell monitor: My company paid for it, but boy is it bad. - DDJ-SB3 DJ Controller: Former DJ, so gotta shake the rust of now and then. - GoPro Hero Black 9: Just got this, amazing little piece of kit! Just need to use it more - Polaroid whateverthehell: makes instant shots. Fun for on the fly shots, and a way to meet strangers. - Arctis Pro Headphones: as a DJ, I do not recommend these, not loud enough. Could be hearing damage. Sound quality is good for the price, as is build quality.

Nice setup, no doubt, but it's a bit of the "more money than I know what to do with" setup. I've set up mine as following 1. just get one ultra wide. I've had 3 or 4 monitors before. his setup with another monitor on either end strikes me as borderline insane/gratuitous. plus then you can consider different graphics cards. 2. mic: blue yeti pro 3. webcam: just my Android smartphone with droidcam installed. With blu-tack and having a bunch of three prong powerpoint plastic safety things for my toddler, I've rigged them up as the mounts/tripods. 4. logitech Master 3 mouse 5. mechanical keyboard 5. computer I haven't upgraded for almost 10 years (this is likely the year), but as hinted in the post, AMD seems obviously the way to go right now. 6. seat: I've actually got a kneeling chair because of limited space. I don't mind it but I agree that chair is a necessary expense. 7. desk: actually a custom cabinetry job off the side of my bedroom: possibly a spot where I've one upped him. I think my setup will soon be approaching his in terms of practical capability, but probably cost 4 to 5 digits less...

"16 Years After Hardware Release" and it takes how many years it takes. In Linux a device driver can take 16 minutes, hours, days or up to 16 years in making. What it matter is that it is perfect. As long as it 16... Now seriously, Logitech make amazing hardware. I will buy that Logitech MX Master 3 or the 3s because I want it! Had keyboards and mouses from Logitech before and they were top!

Everyone I know uses the MX Master 3. It's an amazing mouse, and it's the only one on the market that checks all my criteria (horizontal wheel, free wheel mode, and support for macOS gestures via the thumb button)

Making the assumption that you work at a desk all day, and ignoring the good recommendations of a solid pair of noise-cancelling headphones, I'd recommend an ergonomic mouse and a nice keyboard. Personally I'm really into Logitech MX Vertical and MX Keys, but MX Master 3 is also very nice to work with. Has resulted in issues with wrists and hands reducing a lot. Your mileage may vary, though.
