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

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

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.

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

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

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?

[RHVideoProd]

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

[RONY]

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

[TarunKamarthy]

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!

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.

[geraldbaria]

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.

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.

[chontane]

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

[suzi-mlep]

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

[dreamdrifter]

Hi, what is the numpad you're using? Can anyone recommend a low-profile numpad to match the Keychron K3?

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!

[shootill]

I have a master 2s and mac mini m1. Nothing ever works. I love everything about the mouse but how it connects to my computer. None of the function are ever remembered... frustrating

BUYER BEWARE - If you have an M1 Mac, DO NOT BUY this mouse (March 2022).
I never comment on YouTube, 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.

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....

[mistressbing]

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
