Outstanding wireless connectivity. This mouse's cable is only for charging, so you'll need to connect it via either Bluetooth or its dedicated receiver. Just like the Logitech MX Master 2S, you can switch between three connected devices with a button on the underside of the mouse. Connectivity Wireless Cable Length 4.4 ft (1.3 m) Cable Type Rubber Permanent Kink No Port Type: Mouse End USB-C Port Type: PC End USB The MX Master 3 has a good cable, which feels a bit better than the previous model's cable. It's fairly similar to the previous one but now connects to the mouse via USB-C, which is an improvement over micro-USB. The cable is for charging only and it's covered by rubber, which can catch on desk supplies.  Gliding Experience Ok Material PTFE Extra Included No The PTFE feet glide decently well. The bottom and top feet might cause some resistance that could be problematic for gaming, but it shouldn't be a problem for everyday tasks.
Control Total Number Of Buttons 8 Number Of Side Buttons 3 Number Of Programmable Inputs 6 Profile Switching Button No Gesture Support Yes The Logitech MX Master 3 offers a bit of customization when it comes to buttons. Other than the left and right clicks and the device-switching button, everything can be reprogrammed. You can also customize the mouse's settings depending on the app you're using inside the Logitech software. Additionally, like the Logitech MX Master 2S, there's a button on the thumb rest that enables gesture commands for as long as you press it. If you want a wireless mouse with more side buttons, check out the Logitech G604 Lightspeed instead. Expected Connection 12.4 ms Wired N/A Receiver 12.4 ms Bluetooth 15.6 ms The Logitech MX Master 3 has decent click latency. While it's well-suited for casual gaming, browsing, and productivity tasks, it's too high for fast-paced or competitive gaming.

After retesting, we've determined the maximum polling rate is 125Hz using the wireless USB receiver, and we've updated the article to reflect this. Using Bluetooth, we achieved a slightly higher maximum polling rate result of 132Hz, which is just under the cap for the Bluetooth protocol of 133Hz. However, the difference is likely imperceptible for most people, and we've chosen to use the result from our USB receiver test as Bluetooth can be unstable and liable to fluctuate during use. Just like the Logitech MX Master 2S, the Logitech MX Master 3 is one of the few that works on glass. Scroll Wheel Notched Wheel + Free Wheel Scroll Wheel Steps 24 Steps Scroll Wheel Tilt No Thumb Wheel Free Wheel Thumb Wheel Steps No Step The Logitech MX Master 3's scroll wheels are excellent. The vertical wheel is incremented and gives good feedback, and you can unlock it into a faster free-scrolling mode, which is very useful with office documents. You can unlock free-scrolling mode manually by clicking the button behind the mouse wheel, but it also automatically unlocks whenever you're scrolling quickly. There's also a side scroll wheel on the left side of the mouse for side-scrolling. Click Noise Loud The Logitech MX Master 3 mouse is loud, but it shouldn't bother people around you unless you're in a noise-sensitive environment. Operating System And Software Software Name Logitech Options Software Windows Compatibility Yes Software macOS Compatibility Yes On-Board Memory No CPI (DPI) Adjustment Yes Polling Rate Adjustment No Profile Configuration Yes Profile Auto-Switching Yes RGB On/Off No RGB The Logitech Options software is good, but doesn't offer as many features as Logitech G HUB. While you can't have specific profiles that you can switch directly on the mouse, you can set profiles for each program that you use. You also can't save the settings in the mouse as it doesn't have onboard memory, but you can save your settings to your account if you decided to create one. Windows Compatibility Fully macOS Compatibility Fully This mouse has amazing compatibility since all buttons work on both Windows and macOS. Also, since the software is available on both platforms, you can easily customize the mouse to your preferences. Some programmable functions are OS-specific. |
