They are almost there, it is almost the perfect mouse
So I've been using the MX Master line since the very first model, for about like ten or fifteen years now. I have always loved these mice. They fit my hand absolutely perfectly. The control wonderfully. The battery is excellent. The side scroll wheel is extremely handy to have. They have a decent enough amount of extra butoons (M1 left, M2 right, M3 scroll click, M4 forward, M5 back, M6 thumb, M7 scroll mode change button) These are IMO the single best line of mice you can purchase for general everyday sort of use. They work as good for office work as for gaming or for internet browsing. That said, there is always something that is screwed up. Each model has something that prevents this from being the best mouse of all time. So I'm mainly going to compare this against the MX Master 2. They kept the soft velvety rubber palm rest pad that I absolutely love. The texture is slightly different, but it is still extremely comfortable. They removed the rubber coating from the scrolls wheels, that kind of bothers me. But the side scroll wheel is much more accessible than the previous model. It is larger and positioned better. The side buttons (back/forward) have been significantly improved. They are (BOTH) actually usable now. But still, you got a ways to go Logitech. Just make them bigger and move them forward more, how hard could it be? Unfortunately, the improved side buttons seem to have come at the cost of a diminished thumb rest button. On the previous model, you could press down almost anywhere on the thumb rest and the button would activate. With this model, only about a quarter of the area will work. And you can actually feel it through the rubber coating, where you can press. It still works mostly good, but their are times that I don't hit it initially. And it does take slightly more effort to press it down. I noted this on my review for the MX keyboard as well, but the software is not nearly as good as the previous generation (they both utilize the same software). There seems to be comparatively little customization options available. Instead of being able to create your own command for any given input, they now only have preset options. Luckily this is something that could be addressed and improved upon at a later date. If you read this Logitech, please improve the software. One nice thing is if you have the MX keyboard as well, you can remove one of the USB dongles so that both keyboard and mouse function through the same one. Read more
