What owners report

  • “Parent had this exact issue: getting repeatedly frustrated with bluetooth connection issues My suggestion to use the bolt reciever was in response to that. [...] I have the MX Master 3 and MX Keys Mini. [...] I did have more issues using pure bluetooth with an external bt antenna (intel bluetooth hardware).”

  • “[...] 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. [...]”

    after 7 yearsView on Hacker News
  • “I dug out a Logitech MX Master 3 that I bought years ago and never used because scrolling the scroll-wheel too fast decelerates the scroll completely (and sometimes starts scrolling the other way).”

  • “I got a Logitech MX Master 3 clone from Amazon for 1/4 the price of the one I have because it started turning off at random times, and I didn’t want to be left without a mouse on vacation. I immediately noticed it doesn’t have a thumb button, which I use all the time.”

  • Battery & charging2 mentions

    “My MX Master 3 has a weird issue where it can just stop charging. [...] The "fix" from Reddit is to squeeze the mouse until it starts charging again. It sounds like someone trolling, but it actually works about half the time.”

  • Comfort & size2 mentions

    “I loved my Performance MX. I finally had to replace it at work (software wouldn't install after migrating to Windows 11) and the MX Master 3 I got seems much ergonomically worse to me. I also am not a fan of the thumb wheel replacing buttons. [...] My sister in law gave me her G700S to fix the main button microswitches, and she convinced me that it's the apotheosis of the design - it's what should have replaced the Performance MX. No soft-touch plastic, extra buttons, and the higher resolution sensor. [...]”
