Like many others during 2020, I was looking to upgrade my work from home set up. I've wanted a Logitech MX mouse for a long time but was pretty turned off by the higher price of 100+ for the new Master mx3. In comes this original MX. I came across it during my product research and saw that it was going for around 60 dollars which I thought was really reasonable considering it basically has most of the features the new MX3 has. Been really happy with my purchase in my 1.5 month daily usage of this! Pros: - Great ergonomic feel. While I would have like it to be a bit more tiled up like the new MX3, the slightly raised angle that is a bit closer to a traditional mouse is also very comfortable. Love how the mouse is big enough to let me rest most of my hand on it. Feels really solid and confidence inspiring. - Highly customizable. Really like how you're able to customize just about any of the buttons on the device. - Beautiful design. Just really well thought out design for the mouse. - Battery life. Been using it almost daily as it's my main computer mouse and I haven't really had to charge it for over a month - Multi Device support. Really convenient how I can go between my work Microsoft computer and personal Macbook computer. Cons: - Desktop switching on Mac. For the life of me can't get the mouse to switch desktops like I do on my Windows laptop on my Mac. I'm referring to the gesture function where you can supposedly hold the thumb button and then swipe the whole mouse to left or right to change desktops. I've resorted to setting the thumb scroll wheel to move desktops for my Mac. - Thumb wheel is a bit small. A little annoying but they apparently have already fixed this on the MX3 where they moved it to a slightly easier position to use. Overall for about 60 dollars this is great great buy. Highly recommend! Read more
Similar to the Logitech, good quality, and the battery is very good. One year and still working. Read more
Two biggest perks: - very comfortable to hold and use - the scroll wheel automatically switches between free-scrolling and regular ("crunchy") and you can adjust the amount of momentum it takes to kick in. Overall, it's a great mouse. After getting used to it at the office, I found it hard to switch back to other mice so I picked up a 2nd one for home. It's kind of big, so I don't take it with me while traveling. The battery life is pretty good and I rarely am bothered by charging it. The gesture button is pretty cool, but I don't use it much because it takes a little too much pressure to trigger and the gestures you use have to be a little more exaggerated than I'd prefer. I bought the 2S version and that one has a higher DPI and is slightly better for casual gaming than this one. I like that it has bluetooth and you can switch between 3 devices. I don't use that often but it's convenient for the rare times I've wanted to use bluetooth and save a USB port or use bluetooth to control my phone using the mouse. It's very customizable through the logitech options app. It's the best mouse I've used. Read more
Best mouse on the market. I’ve had three and will always have one. I just love it. Read more
Someone else shared they replaced a Performance MX mouse, and I'm doing the same thing. I loved the Performance for the size (I have big hands), and the MX Master is a little smaller, but still comfortable. The thumb scroll wheel is nice, but the back/forward buttons are too far back as another user mentioned. While holding the mouse I cannot easily hit the back button without adjusting my hand. I thought the scroll wheel would bother me, but the default function is rather helpful. The wheel clicks to scroll through, but if you give a quick spin it lets the internal part continue spinning to scroll, if you touch the wheel to stop it you can hear a slight tick as it locks the internal parts. Overall effective and comfortable. Pretty good mouse overall. Hopefully it will last 15+ years like my last one. Read more
I have been using this mouse for 18 months now. I have a Streacom DB4 connected to my flat-screen TV and use it as a house computer/entertainment device. It's operated by a wireless Jellbean keyboard and this Logitech mouse. Both devices have a receiver USB piece plugged into a USB hub connected to the Streacom. Wireless range in my apartment from the couch to the computer about 12 feet away has no issues whatsoever as long as it has most of a line of sight. There is a corner I can't avoid where the USB hub is, and it doesn't like that at all so I just covered a USPS box with aluminum foil that sits with all my other computer stuff and reflects the infrared without issue. The mouse doesn't work great on the tan couch fabric itself, but works flawlessly on my green pillow, so surface is a factor. Anyone using this with a mousepad anywhere near their computer shouldn't have any issues. Battery lasts over a month with daily use and there is a programmable button I set for CTRL. No issues disconnecting, although once in a great while after the computer wakes the mouse doesn't respond and I have to pull the receiver out and back in to reconnect. The it's fine for months. Don't see why I'd buy anything different unless I knew of one that works on all surfaces. Read more
