DONT BUY a Logitech MX Master Mouse (if you have a new Mac)…

Stu's review of tech reminds me of Jeremy Clarkson's review of cars. Love it! Cheers.

There are umpteen unboxing videos and reviews on this product. I haven't seen anybody mention connectivity issues. You saved me time and money. Thanks!

Love this ultra detailed user review. I have just bought the mouse. And have been experiencing the lag. Hinestky the best mouse I’ve ever used so fas is their cheapest lightspeed mouse, the G305. That spoiled me on reliability and feel. I saw a solution where you use a usb extension and make the receiver visible in line of sight to the mouse. So far the stutters have disappeared, hopefully it lasts.

Thank you for your frank and honest review. Saved me some cash and a whole lot of time!

Using the M720. The thumb click for mission control is awesome. Really handy for all the windows I constantly need to switch through. I also have the mx master 2S but I prefer the M720's thumb click. Great review!

Great review. I have also spent hours in trying to get my Logitech mice MX master 1 and 3 to work with my MacBook Pro 16 inch with the new processor. Now I use the external trackpad and is planning to buy the magic mouse too although the ergonomics are bad - but it works.

I had to work so hard to find a video like this cos I didn't believe it was just me having this problem. Had to type in the phrase 'problem with mx3 precision' and hardly got any auto-completing lol. Thanks for this video Stu... will try it out with the receiver and hope for the best

Thanks, I wondered why I was having problems trying to connect to my Mac Mini, thanks to you, mine is being returned!

Great review, very entertaining and extremely informative. Thank you, Stu!!

this video should have (if you have a Mac) added to the title. I'm using an MX Master 3 on a PC and its been superb. Battery is brilliant, it will track on everything from glass to carpet and the magnetic scroll wheel is simply genius. But do agree that the thumb wheel is a bit high.

Excellent video. I am using a logitech g600 at the moment and I have been on the fence about the mx master sinces its a good fit for me but given the issues discussed I’ll have to wait / consider alternatives

Hi :-) So what's the situation now almost 2 years later? Does it work better? Did you find an alternative?

I use the Magic Mouse 2 with iMac, do have an mx master 2s aswell but I like the swiping between pages/tabs etc that the Magic Mouse allows you to do on macOS . Maybe not very comfy to use but I like the functionality of it

I just recently picked up an MX Amazon edition (so presumably from what you’ve said it’s the MX 1) to use with my Mac mini M1 and apart from it forgetting the buttons I’d set up (which a restart sorted out) I’ve not had any issues.

I use the MX Master 3 with PC. Only complaint with it, as you pointed out, is its pretty high and ended up getting a wrist glide to go with it otherwise the ergonomics are crap. Having said that, it has worked well for me. Not sure it was worth the price, but its held up well.

Been using the Corsair Harpoon mouse and really like it. But as a side note I am left handed and this is the closest mouse I like so far. It is close enough to being ambidextrous with having good features I have found to the moment.

So the 2 mice I have are the MX Master 2S for my work desktop & the Magic Mouse 2 for my Mac Mini, totally agree with you about Magic Mouse in terms of the Goddawful ergonomics, the functionality of it is fantastic but anything more than a couple of hours cripples my hand/wrist. Never had a problem with the MX Master, but then I’ve never tried using it on my Mac

Just got a Logitech M720 and I'm noticing the lag or something misbehaving. I must commend this video, love the LIFE you vibe.

I have MX Master 3 for Mac. I used it on my old iMac and it was great. Now I have the MAc Studio and it's a nightmare. The biggest issue is that the scroll wheel often stops working. Sometimes every day or a few times per day. Sometimes it works for a whole week. Then suddenly it stops. Total pain. I would scroll to the bottom of the comments to see if anyone else has these problems, but of course the scroll wheel has stopped working....

omg... you made so many good points. I thought i was crazy because everyone raved about this mouse. And i agree with everything you've said.

I'm buying the MX Master 3 and I'm having the same experience. Then I found your video. I wish I could see your video first before I bought my MX3.

I have the Logitech anywhere MX 2 - and it is my favorite. I use them with Windows and macOS... I know there is no thumb wheel, but you can press the middle button to the left or the right to have a similar function. You might try a madcatz R.A.T. - you can tune it perfectly to your hand. and they are available with wires.

So glad to see an honest opinion about it! I too was swayed by the numerous praise by RU-vidrs at the time, but I just never really got on with it. It felt slightly cumbersome to use, and I would get weird wrist aches. Ended up selling it on eBay, and getting a Magic Trackpad instead. Works smoothly, and I just can't do without the multi-touch gestures and speed in my everyday work.

Any idea if the new MX Master 3S is supposed to have any of these bugs worked out? Great video btw!

The Bluetooth issues are also prevalent on the Intel Mac Mini. Apple has known about it since 2018 and done nothing. The root of the issue is that the BT transceiver is located very close to the USB ports. USB (especially high-speed / high-traffic usage) interferes with the admittedly weak BT. I have this issue on my 2018 Intel Mac Mini. The main help is to not use the USB ports on the Mac Mini, but to run a USB hub with nice shielded cables off of a Thunderbolt port. I still get occasional issues when doing large amounts of data access on USB attached storage devices. I'm currently using the Apple Magic Mouse (with 3rd party rubber bumpers to save my hands), but looking to move from it. I had an old Logitech Master from about 2011-2012 that I loved, but it has gone kaput. It had a tilting scroll wheel that I absolutely loved. Now they've gone to the thumb wheel which I suspect I will hate. I actually like the digitizer on the Magic Mouse for this. I don't know...I feel kind of stuck seeking my ideal mouse.

MX Master 3 user here, you're right about the options beta - it's broken. I'm using the traditional green logitech options on the Monterey beta (intel). Once I put the 2.4ghz receiver on a usb extension cable away from the back of the computer and other cables / interference it was grand. I have a friend using an m1 mac mini and I've him set up the same way, zero issues once 2.4 interference is ruled out.

The 2s has been working completely fine for me on an M1 max 16in (knock on wood). Certainly always looking for a good mouse! Always glad to have options.

finally someone who actually records and points out issues I've been having ever since I got this God Forsaken Mouse lol! I honestly just end up using my trackpad on the mac and a g502 hero on my PC because I can't use the MX master 3s on anything without getting that jitter on my mac or pc with the bolt receiver as well.

I am pretty much in the same situation . I own a macbook air m1 and so far i tried the logitech mx master 3 , orochi v2 , magic mouse 3 , microsoft bluetooth mouse and the logitech g203. I have tried bluetooth and the 2.4ghz dongle and yea...the dongle is a little better but is not smooth all the time. Every single one of them work ...but not reliable. Not like they work in windows. Pls do a follow up video if u find new alternatives and thank you for your hard work !

MX Master 3 with a M1 Mac Mini and no issues at all. I moved the receiver dongle away from the Mac using a USB extension cable and have no interference or jitter issues. Most issues I hear are when people use the receiver directly into a Mac USB port and I did see evidence of this myself before using a extension cable. Bluetooth connection was rotten so the unifying receiver is better.

Which would you recommend for Macbook air m1 ?magic mouse 2, Mx Master 3 for mac or regular Mx master3 ??

BUYER BEWARE - If you have an M1 Mac, DO NOT BUY this mouse (March 2022). I never comment on RU-vid, but just like the uploader I feel so strongly about the issues with the MX Master 3 on M1 Mac that I have to say something. I work in IT and believe me when I say this has been the most frustrating peripheral and software experience I've ever had. It's utterly infuriating that a mouse that is marketed specifically for a Mac, and that is so expensive, is so broken and unsupported. This isn't something that can be fixed on our end, it's something that Logitech must recognise and provide a fix for in both Firmware and Software (assuming it's not a hardware incompatibility). Logitech has not provided any meaningful support or fix in the last 15 months, I'll leave it up to you to decide if you think that's going to change. I've returned my mouse and would advise anyone considering purchasing it to look elsewhere until Logitech brings out a new model.

Thank God someone finally said it, I am having same issues I sold it and got razer orochi v2, which is significantly better with Bluetooth connection

I was very tempted to buy the Logi MX Master Mouse today, I bought The Magic Mouse 2 yesterday, but took it back today. Currently using a Logitech B100 wired mouse.

Thanks for this video. I'm using a Magic Mouse and it's an absolute pain to switch it from my work MacBook to my m1 Mac mini. (I have to go through accessibility using key-mouse) I was considering getting the MX 3 for its "seamless switching" between 3 different devices, no more!

I used the Mx master 3 on a pc and it work flawlessly for three months, one day the scroll wheel just doesn't work , more like extremely lagging , since then change into a razer viper mini, which is not wireless but worked perfectly !(about two years).

I use the Apple Magic Mouse and it’s great apart from several things. No quick change to another device. What often drives me mad is that I often accidentally swipe sideways resulting in a previous page or previous video. I don’t like that, hence landing here while researching an alternative.

I've been using the MX Anywhere 3 for about a year now and absolutely LOVE the MagSpeed scroll wheel. I spent weeks shopping for a new desktop mouse because I needed a hybrid office/gaming-friendly mouse and would have sold my soul for one with the scroll wheel, to no avail. Ended up with the Razer Basilisk Ultimate. It's good, I like it, but nothing will beat the sublime feel of that gorgeous MagSpeed scroll wheel.

Thank you! I had ordered the MX3 based on all the gushing RU-vid reviews but my order was canceled. So I went onto Amazon to order it from there only to see all the terrible reviews contradicting all the raving RU-vidrs so I I found you when I searched to see if anyone on RU-vid is actually being honest but this mouse.

I'm at the same crossroads, I have had the Logitech MX Vertical mouse for over a year, I like it but I have the same problems on my Macbook pro M1, they have been partially solved with the unifier, it's not perfect at all, super annoying because it's an expensive mouse. Today the wheel has stopped working, I've tried to repair it and nothing worked!! As a graphics designer, I need an ergonomic mouse, so I was thinking to opt for the MX Master, but I don't want to have the same problems, especially if it doesn't even come with unifying. I hope we find some other similar mouse that is not Logitech, I really need it!! Thank you for the informative video, subscribing

So what do people suggest other than these MX ? My problem is non connection after my MacBook has been put to sleep.

Finally I found a video that kinda explains all the struggle I'm going through. I have an Macbook 2014 and an MX Master 2S. They work perfectly together. However, recently I bought an M1 Mac mini, and the problems started. The mouse simply disconnects for no apparent reason when using BT. And for over an week now it doesn't even connect to the computer. The only "solution" was to use the unifying receiver. That is so frustrating.

Do you notice when usingin M1 Mac, it takes a few seconds for the logitech mouse to "talk" to the logitech driver to adjust the cursor speed? I have set tracking suitable to my liking, but every time when login the Mac, it takes a few seconds to re-adjust to the right tracking speed. There are two setting for the track speed, one in the Mac OS setting and another in the logitech options app. Do you experience this and what can be the fixed? Connecting via the dongle seems reduce the time for the mouse to adjust the speed to where I set.

I’m still using my Logitech M275, it’s pretty old but I just absolutely love how it feels, the scroll wheel is starting to fail tho so i bought a master mx 3s, i’m still keeping the old one tho. It literally has a smooth spot from my finger on my left mouse button xD

Just bought Master 3 some days ago and after dealing for a few days with the jitter issue driving me crazy, the Logi options software and even the -not that ergonomic- physics (and its weight, it is heavy af), I returned it today. Yeah, when it comes to normal working status of the mouse, you even have to feel it comfortable to work for hours and hours. So it kinda subjective depending on the scenario. Sadly, I'm one of those who saw a lot of reviews only talking about the magic features, and get hyped with all those good looking workstations out there on insta, lol. For me, a simpler G603, also from logi, works 10 times better.

I bought the MX Anywhere 3 and the MX Keys keyboard about a year and a half ago. I need quick switching between a Mac and two Windows PCs and this combo seemed to do a good job. I did have some issues with the mouse, but it seems they've gotten a lot worse recently. Could be related to other changes in my Mac configuration, but whatever the reason I'm no longer able to use the MX Anywhere mouse on the Mac at all -- the problems have gone from sporadic to constant -- Lightroom & Photoshop are impossible without proper mouse functionality. I had an old victsing mouse and connected it to the Mac, so I'm content to just stick with that for now. It's easy enough to just keep two mice on my desk, and fortunately I've had no issues with the keyboard -- one button on the keyboard selects the Mac or PCs.

Two cheap Tecknet MGQ424, one for my Macbook Air and another for my Surface Pro 6. I've had them for years and they work fine on wood. They take AAA cells and I just keep a couple of cells fully charged ready to swap in. That is more convenient than having to charge a mouse when it runs out. For my Dell deskside I use the wired mouse that came with it and a USB switch to switch everything to a Surface dock. I have a Logitech ball mouse but I never use it. I hate trackpads.

I’m using a Magic Mouse 1 (in macOS) and a Logitech Pebble (in Bootcamp). The Magic Mouse works absolutely fine for me, only issue is the 1st Gen will turn off if give it a bump because the batteries will get dislodged. The Pebble is there mainly because Windows is hostile to the Magic Mouse (and the Magic Trackpad), and I like lower mice. The Pebble being a quiet mouse also pleases me. However it is unreliable in MacOS when connected with Bluetooth, it’s more reliable when in Windows but sometimes it has mis-clicks, when using the dongle it’s all fine. I’ll probably get a Magic Mouse 2 because I’m tired with that battery dislodging thing. I’m okay with how it charges. MacOS will inform the user when the battery is low, and the remaining juice can easily last a day or even more, just remember to charge it at night and it’ll be fine.

Idk about mac OS, but I have the Master 2S and use it via the receiver with Windows. Best mouse I've ever had, never experienced any issue with it for the 2 years since I have it. Bought it because of the hype and I'm glad I did. My favourite feature is the multiple device use and how easy is to switch between them. Given all of this and the current trend of most mice being ambidextrous(which I absolutely hate and find extremely unergonomic), I don't think I'll be using anything else than the Master series or whatever they call it in the future.

I use the Mx master 3 with the dongle on windows laptop for work. It works flawlessly. When I plug that dongle on my MacBook Pro M1, connected to external display, it lags and jumps over the screen. Surprisingly it’s a bit better via Bluetooth. But even my hackintosh is more stable. I can’t live without that mouse - I have the silver version which I Love. But I agree with you, with such a big revenue income they should come with a solution. I read that some people had a better chance using an USB extender to connect the dongle, specially for the Mac mini. Maybe worth a try :)

honestly, i've been so dissatisfied with available choices for mac first keyboard and mouses that i just resorted to using almost only my mac's built in keyboard and touchpad (even for gaming, when i do), and it works well for me. i know you've mentioned that using the magic trackpad strains your hands, so i don't think that would work for you. it kind of sucks that short of logitech there's not many good high quality mice that are also not completely gaming focused.

Interesting. I have the MX Master (1) because it was cheap on amazon (£35 when i bought it). Works flawlessly with my intel 16 inch macbook and my M1 macbook air. Wonder what this issue is down to.

I really prefer lightweight ambidextroux mice. I love the logi G203/305 mice as well as the G Pro X superlight, what I really F-hate is mice acceleration and in MacOS isn't any way of disabling acceleration without a third party app. Also I found that I prefer to use a trackball (M575) in MacOS. Almost forgot to mention that the newer models (Macbook Air) doesn't come with USB type A for the dongles so you're stuck with BT connection.

My wife uses the 1 while I use the 3. They are both excellent, never an issue and I love that you can with the push of a button select the connection as I do use two computers sometimes and it works great. Have to say though that my wife uses windows while I use Linux. My previous mouse was the original mx580 which also worked great for 15 or so years

Hey Stu! Thanks for the honest review. Unfortunately I saw this video too late. I got myself the MX 3S for Mac, but I'll try to return it. Do you have any suggestion for another bluetooth mouse I could try out?

You said what I've been saying - word for word! And I'm still looking for a decent mouse for my MacBook Pro M1

I hate to recommend a different Logitech product after this review, but the Logitech G502 HERO is absolutely phenomenal. I've never had any issues with it, it has plenty of extra buttons that are very easy to access. While it doesn't have a sideways scroll wheel, you can click the middle scroll wheel left and right for sideways scrolling. I've really only used this mouse for gaming and some 3D modeling on a PC so I can't say how well it holds up on a mac, but I've had two of these mice over time and I think they really are great.

okay and what mouse to buy now?

Corsair mice for me have been the solution. The build quality is not as good, but you get a great sensor with all three options, wired, dongle, and Bluetooth. I wish more mice actually supported that. And I'd wouldn't even think of using a master if it didn't have that side scroll wheel.

I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. I have been in a love/hate relationship with the MX Master mice since version 1 also. I currently have the MX Master 2S and have been delaying replacing it. I have a Mac Mini M1 and share your frustrations with it's bluetooth issues. I finally seem to have resolved my issues with the stuttering by connecting only through the 2.4mhz dongle. I also believe the stuttering is caused by interference by nearby wireless signals, so have re-positioned everything until the issue went away. My dream mouse would be an MX Master version 1 with the Logitech Lightspeed connection. Hopefully someday it will happen.

I got the MX Master 3 and an M1 Mac Mini and don’t have these issues. I’m assuming this has been corrected already. I don’t have any connection issues in any way anymore. Very comfortable mouse and very good performance now. I suggest everyone gives it a try again

I've been living and getting by with my battery operated 2009 magic mouse. Totally get the cramp thing as the profile is too low and flat, I enjoy the smoothness when you swipe between windows and how it glides. My main issue with most (mice?) is that mine has to sit at arm's length away, to the right side of the desk because my midi keyboard is front and centre. That means that quite often my mouse and mat slip off the cliff edge because I'm focusing on the screen instead of my mouse positioning. Not really a fault of that kind of mouse, but with so many people using computers for productivity other than just office tasks these days, the traditional mouse can get in the way of hardware. I'm looking for other control solutions that don't involve needing to physically move the mouse around. I think the roller ball, or track pad styles might be my only options. I think the roller ball would be more ergonomic on the hand, but it's such an old and overly chunky design and I'm not sure that running my thumb constantly over a big ball is my thing

Hi Stu! I not an expert on mice but I am an expert on sound. Try lifting your speakers up on mini stands as the tweeters should be at ear height. Hope that helps. 😉

Ive been using the Roccat Kone XTD for 5 or 6 years. Roccat is a smaller company in the gaming arena but the German engineering shines through ive even gone on to get their keyboards, the alumic mouse mat and their Lapboard for bed based gaming :)

about 4 years ago I purchased a MX1 mouse - to go with my new Alienware laptop. It was horrible!! returned it back after 1 days use. I waited for the MX2 to come out and having no issues since. Also due to limited USB ports on laptops I wanted to use the BT connectivity. Last year I've switched to a MBP m1 max. The MX2 mouse is still good, connects quick via BT no lag or other issues, also really taking advantage of the device switching when jumping back to my Alienware from time to time. Only downside I have is the scroll wheel on the mouse got damaged I did a repair on it to keep me going, so I currently have no free scroll. Not too bad I can live with it, only when working late at night the scroll clicking noise seems really load. I think next upgrade for me will be the MX4 - if they do release one.

Did the MX Master series address the stutter when you are scrolling especially with inertia scrolling? to me this is the biggest issue why I couldn't get into the MX mice.

Now I'm stuck!! been using a cheap jelly comb vertical mouse but bluetooth and scroll wheel is broken, (don't mind it was super cheap!) wanted to get the Logitech MX Master 3 for my MacBook Pro, using cad for designing, but after watching this as much as I appreciate your honesty I'm now stuck for what to get and I need a mouse!!!

I have both mouses and here is my opinion (I use them on Macbook Pro i9 chip, mostly with unifying receiver, but sometimes with bluetooth): 1) MX master 3S came with a new unifying receiver, the new one, it was in the box. 2) 3S is not compatible with older receiver (and the same for Craft keyboards - if you have a combo 3S + Craft, you need to use 2 receivers, or just bluetooth). 3) The same for the software - Options+ is not compatible with either 2S or Craft keyboard (you need 2 versions of the software if you have a combo) 4) Thumb wheel on both mouses is something I never liked to use, it's not precise enough / clicky to be usable comfortably in my opinion (for example when scrolling timeline on Premiere Pro) 5) Ergonomics of 2 extra buttons close to the thumbwheel (usually Back and Next) are much better on 3S. On 2S they are so close together that are hard to press (especially the upper one is difficult to press) 6) Scroll wheel on both mouses is in a very similar position, I felt it natural to scroll on both mouses, great to use on both mouses 7) Side button (below the thumb) is easier to press on 2S. 3S has a smaller clickable area for this button under your thumb. But 2S had a problem with rubber around it (after couple of months it gets deformated and stuck because there is a plastic next to it, with not too much free space - if if rubber gets deformated with time, then you cannot freely press the button - seems to be fixed in 3S, but time will tell) 8) 2S has a problem with screws, they used a very thin plastic inside for screws, and it basically just crumbles. After a year of 2 of using, you start hearing noises of something in your mouse, you open it and you see small bits of plastic from around screws everywhere. It gets worse in time (possibly planned aging of the product - so you have to replace it) 9) I always had problems with Options software on MacOS. Usually it was not loading my custom buttons/presets configuration when starting the system. Doesn't seem to be an issue with new Options software. 10) I used 2S for 4 years of daily using and it was never broken (except broken screw plastics), always working. 11) Overall I'm happy after the upgrade, and I would not choose 2S again due to (in my opinion) improved ergonomics and software.

Its been nearly 7 years and im still on my mx master original in which i brought for £80 pounds and loved it ever since. Yes there are issues which is outlined in the video but its still pretty good.

Thanks a lot for this review, I don't have a mac m1 just an old macbook. If looking for a mouse to use in between windows PC for work and the laptop for studies. Will this suffice because I'm conscious of wrist pain etc

I have been using my Logitech MX Anywhere (first model) for my PC when it first came out on sale donkey years ago... Still using it today. For gaming, Razer Mamba Wireless.

I was using the mx master 3s for m1 mac but i started experiencing audio issues with my jbl speaker crackling sound when playing audio, any idea why that could be? Would i need the logi bolt or is it something else?

After lot of grief I found that in my case the jitter issue was not related to the software, it was the distance between the unifying receiver and the mouse. Seriously, put it about 6 inches away and it won’t do it ever again. I had to use a usb extension cable.

I am surprised no one sue Logitech for false advertising of this mouse.

I'm using an M1 MBP and Logitech MX Master 3s but I did not encounter any issues in terms of connectivity.

So which mouse would you recommend? I’m experiencing all the issues you mentioning lol. I was tryna get the master 3s but I think I’m done with logintech.

I’ve been using an MX Master 3 with my works laptop for months now and it’s been brilliant, amazing battery life.

Glad someone talks about this issue. I bought the MX Master 3S for my MacBook M1 Pro and I was totally disappointed by the way it moves the cursor. If I try to make small circles with my trackpad it is totally smooth. With the MX Master, it is totally jittering. Find that very unpleasant and inconvenient to work, because hitting buttons on screen is impaired comparing with the trackpad. Even though I never experienced these jumps you had on yours. Sent my first back to Amazon and my new one is a bit better, but I think I'll try to use an external USB transmitter as you advised. Or I'll get my self an Apple mouse and try to use it plugged in ;)

I have had the 1 for years, working fine. Recently after a couple of months with my new Mac Studio selection and other things became quite erratic. Bought the MX3 for Mac in order to solve this but could not even establish contact with Bluetooth. Saw your post and decided to return it immediately. Looking for a good alternative now

Good video Stu! Was thinking of a MX Master 3 as i changed to an MX Keys Keyboard but am thinking twice now. I currently use a Dell MS5320W mouse which works great for me on Windows and Mac. Cheap too at around £30. Worth a look.

All these points are valid. My only issue with this video is that you should make it more clear when it was posted as RU-vid says it was posted a year ago which not accurate. Today is November of 2023 and based off what I saw in this video I am guessing it is from 2021. Which by now all the connection issues have been addressed. Ergonomics are personal and I find the MX3 very comfortable, in fact more than my old MX1. Also, I have had mine for a while with no connection issues on an Apple M chipped Mac.

I use the MX master 3 with my work Windows laptop, my iPad Pro and my M1 MB Pro and I dont have these issues, maybe I'm just lucky? I do wish that both the mouse and keyboard would change together when I press the keys on the keyboard instead of having to pick the mouse up to change channel, but apart from that its been flawless for me... Sorry I can't be of any help but I figure a comment helps the RU-vid algorithm...

thank you. you have chaned my mind. i planned to buy mx 3 for mini mac 2 but i changed my mind and i will buy apple magic mouse even it is small and may hurt my hand but atleast it still fully compatible with mac

I'm very odd, I bought up all old stock I could find of the Lenovo ScrollPoint Optical. It had a 2 way scroll system based on the ThinkPad trackpoint. It would be nice to see something where that can be implemented again but maybe locked in an + formation.

I like your video a lot. I must say. my dream for working on my MacBook would be the mx master 3 Mac with the new magic trackpad. I think this is the best and most powerful input for a Mac. Some Editors on the internet do this too and I absolutely love it.

I'm currently using the M2 Mac Studio. Which mouse would be a better choice: the Logitech MX Master 3S or the Magic Mouse?

is this for all logtech mouse, like the mx ergo and the m850? I bought m850 and tried it before but I returned it to try the mx ergo but idk if will be ok.. im loking for mice to ease pain in wrist, eblow shoulder arm when using computer

I had to buy a new keyboard and mouse as was given a mac for work. Have had an MX Master in the past and it worked fine for years until the charging contacts died. This time I bought a logitech triathlon mouse and keyboard set. Not particularly happy with the keyboard and had similar issues to those you mentioned with the unifying receiver. In the end they are both now running on bluetooth. Wasn't sure if it was something to do with it having to go theough a usb a to usb c hub or that Mac's (in my opinion) have an inferior operating system. The mouse is just ok, not really what you need for your role but for general office it is fine. I needed the ability to swap between machines which is why I bought the set. Mac/PC/Pi.

I have two MX Master 3 mice, along with the Ergo M575, and the MX Vertical. I am in pain from the MX3 which is why I purchased the others, so I switch back and forth. I love the ability to switch back and forth and love the MX3 capability for many devices, but not sure where this pain in my wrist and hand came from.

I have the MC master 1 and think it’s great, I use it on 2017 iMac and dell inspireon laptop and find it great at swapping between them. I use the Bluetooth for connecting to the iMac with no issue and use the dongle on the laptop. I have experienced twice when the scroll wheel stopped working while using the iMac, restarted the iMac and it fixed the issue, that has been in 4 months of use

There is a bug in my M1 Pro with my Mx Master 3s. When the computer sleeps, the mouse becomes laggy. I have to restart the bluetooth module everytime throught terminal. You can restart the Bluetooth module by typing "sudo pkill bluetoothd". It worked for me.

I agree with your discovery. It is lagging on PC as well. I found it lagging when I connected the receiver next to the usb flash drive.

Is there any new update that solves these glitche and lagging problems of the mx master 3s on MacBook m1 computers?

I had the same issue with my series 1 and it had the same lag on my Intel Mac, it’s not an M1 issue it’s a Logitech issue . Also had lag issues on various windows laptops, Logitech support was as usual useless, for the price I’d expect a product that works. I feel many RU-vidrs don’t use the products they review and yes they do get caught up in MX fever

If you're still interested in the question, I use a MX Master 3 with a Macbook Pro 16 Intel (2020 model I think) using native bluetooth (no universal receiver). Been using it since 2021 and had no issues.

Thx for this review. I have stop thinking about buying this. I'm photographer and i'm using Logitech mx master very old wired series, after many years is starting to give up slowly. So, i just make search for a replacement in a model of MX Master 3s for Mac, but for i can see, there is a still problems. :(

I use the wired Logitech MX 518 and G400 on the Mac Studio with Sonoma 14.1.1. Both mice actually worked well until Ventura. With the last Sonoma update, however, the problems started. When moving objects on the desktop, they keep getting stuck. They can be moved, but these delays are annoying. When I work with Adobe programs, there are display problems with the cursor and some tools. When work palettes are moved, they drag slowly as if on a rubber band. This was not the case before Sonoma. However, if I use the Magic Mouse, which is connected to the Mac via Bluetooth, I don't have these problems. Very strange. But I think the Magic Mouse is a real ergonomic disaster. It doesn't matter whether I use the two Logitech mice with the Logitech software or with the universal driver USB Overdrive - the problems occur in both cases. I already suspected that Apple might be deliberately preventing the use of third-party mice. But that is certainly wrong.

MX Ergo user here on Windows. Love it. has fixed many RSI issues

I use a MX Keys & MX Master 3 via unifying receiver on a Windows PC environment, both also have latest firmware installed and less than 1m from receiver. My MX Master 3 will often suffer from cursor lag, it seems to occur when the PC is under minor load, it makes playing RTS games a nightmare. I suspect when the PC is under load it reduces priority to requests on the USB bus so the mouse doesnt get updates sent to it as frequently (Educated guess). I also dislike the magwheel as it can often be too laggy to switch between ratchet and smooth scroll automatically leading to a inconsistent scrolling experience. My final pet hate is Logitech boasting about 'Logitech Flow / Options' this feature is useless to people that use these peripherals on a work laptop where third party software is not allowed to be installed on the machine by restrictions imposed by your IT dept. Glad to see a RU-vidr being honest and not just praising this mouse, it has flaws just like most other products. The best feature of these 2x items is their ability to switch between upto 3 machines and thats why ill keep them as it saves me needing to get a KVM or alternative.
