There was a time when I would NEVER pay $100 bucks for a mouse, but after using the MX MAster 3 for almost a year now with my Mac, I can’t live without it. If you need efficiency with your workload, it’s a must.
This is a great review video. I heard stuff here that the mainstream reviewers totally missed. Well done. I'll be back to see what other videos you have.
Hi @ArtIsRight , great review - LOVED it 🎉 I already have one for my home office and I was going to buy a second one for work, but was considering the pale gray as I already have the graphite one. quick question - have you had any staining with the pale gray?
I just jumped from windows to these new M4, for what your videos by the way , were extremelly helpfull. My question is, I do have this one using on my windows (no mac version), do I need to buy the Mac version? . Thanks
I find that the bolt receiver does not play well with Mac Os. The mouse cursor would frequently freeze, stutter and skip across the screen. It's so frequent that I resorted to using it on Bluetooth because its far more stable. The bolt receiver is stable on Windows though.
Try putting it in a location that is closer to your device. Also these receiver are more prone to electromagnetic interference. I.e. data cable. I found this out myself.
What is your advice, please, to take what is written on it for the Mac? without a dongle? Or take the one with the dongle??? Is there a difference in speed, for example, between Bluetooth and a dongle?
Thank You Art for another awesome video!! I did a comparison between both the Logitech MX Master 3S and the Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac. Only difference I saw was that the 3S will work with both Mac OS & Windows OS along with having three color choices over the 3S for Mac having two. Curious, why would they designate one for Mac? Is it just because of the Space Gray color? Thanks again, Great job as always! 👍😊
Just unbox those and the Mac version will still work with PC. About the mouse they are exactly the same, just a slight different color way. And for both mouse and KB, you don't get the BOLT dongle included and the cable is USB C to C instead of C to A
Here's my question. This mouse can be linked to three different computers. So I link it to my main computer. Then lets say I need to reset my computer back to factory status. Now I need to pair up this mouse again. Does this mean I will need to use a different connection point or can I still use the first point where it was originally set up? I hope that's the case because otherwise what's going to happen if I reset my computer more than three times? Will that make the mouse un-pairable because I have already used the three link points?
"Does this mean I will need to use a different connection point or can I still use the first point where it was originally set up?" This can change as needed you can even over ride this without formatting a computer.
No and this will tell you everything that you need to know ua-cam.com/video/9YQWKQTMT4g/v-deo.html if you have any more questions. Please start a new comment so that it will show up on my feed :)
The rubber covering on the mouse turns sticky, careful light washing helps for a day, then the stickiness returns. I like the mouse but the stickiness is suprisingly annoying and distracting. Others are having this issue as well, I hope logitech will change the covering and offer a solution to those with the mouse.
Interesting, I have not found that to be the case with the current and previous gens. I have a few of them MX Masters that are 3-4 years old already. But good to know
For anyone who _doesn't_ want, cheap, nasty, mushy buttons (sold as 'silent') - this mouse is relatively easily modified to take these high-quality switches: Japanese Omron D2F-01F Mouse Micro Switches Traditionally clicky - which I personally like.
You spoke of more than one type of dongle, but you did not show any of the dongles. I wish you would show the dongles so that it would be easier to follow what you were saying.
Unfortunately I’ve got really small hands and the Logitech MX Master 3/3S is just too big for me, it’s too high and too long. I’ve got the M720 and this is the perfect size, and when I saw the announcement about the MX3S I hoped S would mean small, and this would just be a smaller version of the MX3. Seems Logitech only produce the MX3/S only for people with bigger hands.
I have small hands and no issues with it - it’s very comfortable! It did take changing my “hand posture” to get used to it, and it’s far more ergonomic than the anywhere 2s I was using previously. I absolutely LOVE it!!
Little skeptical about the 3S, still been hearing about issues the 3 and 3S have with connectivity and input lag on Mac M1 systems both with the dongle or integrated BT
I used both with intel and M series Mac with dongle, I have not found the connectivity to be an issue, but I made sure the dongle is close to the computer.
I think every company does that now a days. However, I have use many of their MX products for years and they still works just fine. Depending on the product line I supposed
I guess my wrist is getting used to the light weight and my fingers are just liking the clicks on those logitech gaming mouse better. I only use the Mx Master 3S when I work with spreadsheets. Those scroll wheels are god-sent.
polling rate 125Hz - huge latency (main functional parameter of the mouse) , and somebody calls it one of the best? - its absolutely opposite.... Polish features on poor engine... absolutely ridiculouse mouse... worst investment in my life in periferials
@@ArtIsRight nope, there is no difference between gaming and working. I am CAD designer, I am instantly clicking and creating geometry, I need accurate movement with proper response...... With this mouse, I am overall slower, not so precise, making lot of mistakes lot of errors !!!!! Only due to latency. you are making milions of micro movements per day, each micro movement is slowed by at least 10 miliseconds, and quess what, it makes you overall slower.... from 8 hours of working day, I will do less job, with more errors..... What a proffesional mouse! DPI is marketing ..... its like a video camera... its fine to have 20Mpix sensor instead of 5Mpixels... but when 5Mpix should work on 120fps instead of 20Mpix on 25fps, you simply see the difference of the power.... Mouse in price range 100Dolars euro + on 125Hz polling tŕate, thats robbery in those times.... I am just simply angry, becuse I bought it through company resources, and its almost impossible to let it get refunded!!!!

Thank you
Another great review! Thanks, Art!
Much appreciate!
Thank you... time to try out the MX Master mouse... it's years since I used Logitech on my Mac.
and I have been using them for years.
20 minute review of an UPDATE to a MOUSE? :D
Got you to watch!
@@ArtIsRight Touché :D
Hi @ArtIsRight , great review - LOVED it 🎉 I already have one for my home office and I was going to buy a second one for work, but was considering the pale gray as I already have the graphite one. quick question - have you had any staining with the pale gray?
Slight staining and discoloration still persist even after alcohol cleaning.
I just jumped from windows to these new M4, for what your videos by the way , were extremelly helpfull. My question is, I do have this one using on my windows (no mac version), do I need to buy the Mac version? . Thanks
no just bring the dongle over, or just get another dongle for the mac or simply just use bluetooth on the other channel.
I find that the bolt receiver does not play well with Mac Os. The mouse cursor would frequently freeze, stutter and skip across the screen. It's so frequent that I resorted to using it on Bluetooth because its far more stable. The bolt receiver is stable on Windows though.

I've got a MX Master 2s (it's just a smaller version of 3S) and been using with MacBook Air M1 and I loooove it :)
great

I prefer the dongle, external, you can, with an extension cable put it closer to the mouse and KB. Bluetooth is build in and have signal limitation.
Thanks a lot 🌸

Any different betwen MX MASTER 3S & MX MASTER 3S for mac ? so confius to choose both of them

What Polling Rate do you get in macOS with the Logitech Master 3S for Mac?
normal use max at 135 Hz, remember this is not a gaming mouse
@@ArtIsRight I only get 70 Hz with my Master 3S for Mac. MacBook Pro 16" with M1 Max.
if you are worry about this get a gaming mouse. Mine average around 85 and it has been fine for me for more than half a decade now.
Hi. Is it good for small to medium hands like 6.5 inch?
I think so, I would buy it and give it a try. Or you can try it out in stores as well
The rubber covering on the mouse turns sticky, careful light washing helps for a day, then the stickiness returns. I like the mouse but the stickiness is suprisingly annoying and distracting.

Great video. Does it work on Linux ?
should with the dongle or bluetooth, I would check. I don't run Linux
For anyone who _doesn't_ want, cheap, nasty, mushy buttons (sold as 'silent') - this mouse is relatively easily modified to take these high-quality switches:
Japanese Omron D2F-01F Mouse Micro Switches
Traditionally clicky - which I personally like.

They are the same shape, Unifying and BOLT just google it.

All depends that is why there are lots of options.

I'm a big fan of MX Ergo (PS) and 570 Trackballs (Regular use), but always been curious about the MX Master series mice. Glad Art did a review!
Thank you
Lol - karate hands 😂
Informative review. Thanks!
gotta be chopping things!
Little skeptical about the 3S, still been hearing about issues the 3 and 3S have with connectivity and input lag on Mac M1 systems both with the dongle or integrated BT
I used both with intel and M series Mac with dongle, I have not found the connectivity to be an issue, but I made sure the dongle is close to the computer.
My 3 works fine on my Studio
I'm convinced Logitech has designed all their modern products to break eventually
my old mx518 still works... bought the reissue - failed in
I think every company does that now a days. However, I have use many of their MX products for years and they still works just fine. Depending on the product line I supposed
hey, good video!!
waiting for MX MASTER 4!!!!
PLS PLASTIC BACK
Thanks
I personally don’t like this mouse at all. It’s too heavy for my taste. I guess the light gaming mouses have spoiled me too much.
everyone need is different
I guess my wrist is getting used to the light weight and my fingers are just liking the clicks on those logitech gaming mouse better. I only use the Mx Master 3S when I work with spreadsheets. Those scroll wheels are god-sent.
All good :D
Talking 20 minutes about dongles and never even showing a single picture?!?
ok...
They don't make this in left handed.. 10 percent of the population is left handed and lots and lots of creators are.. They piss me off.
I hear ya
polling rate 125Hz - huge latency (main functional parameter of the mouse) , and somebody calls it one of the best? - its absolutely opposite.... Polish features on poor engine... absolutely ridiculouse mouse... worst investment in my life in periferials
It's not a gaming mouse; that is why they make gaming one. We all have opinions and are entitled to them, and you certainly have yours.
