Logitech MX Master 3S Review vs MX 3 - IS IT WORTH The Upgrade?

In my review of the MX Master 3S, I discuss whether is it worth upgrading if you already own the MX Master 3 mouse.

Definitely buying the 3, because I’m done with silent mouses. I want the old school clicking sound and feel. Thanks for the in-depth comparison!

You answered a question that no one else has: the click is not only quieter, but also softer. Thanks 👍🏻

I sold my MX M3 to buy the 3S, I prefer the quieter clicks & the subtle thud (if you can call it that), but Logitech could've done more to tempt MX M3 users over, like moving the device switch button to the top, or if that wasn't possible right now, I don't see why device switching couldn't be added to the gesture button options. But you're right about the magspeed scroll, it would be hard to go back to normal scrolling. Cheers.

this is an excellent straight forward review... Thank you

Definitely interested in the 3S for the silent clicks. After hearing that vertical lift one I might go ergonomic, love how silent it was. If only the new mechanical keyboard was as quiet

Good review. You did a great sound test, but you forgot to mention that the 3S mouse clicks also feel softer and mushier than the louder clicker 3!!! The soft mushy clicks on the 3S was the deal-breaker for me. Hopefully MX Master 4 adds back more crisp clicky mouse buttons like the 3 grrrr

Glad they brought this one out cuz I'm running the 3 with modified switches

This is exactly the review I was looking for. I purchased the 3 only one day before the 3s came out and I was wondering if I should return it. I don't really like the quieter click, and I don't have the need for it to be quiet so I think I will stick with the 3.

Finally, a mouse with "thoc" lol been waiting for something like this from the mid 90's ! hahaha

Great review. My wife has been a long user of mice like the MX Master 2s she never wanted to upgrade (I use a MX Master 3) since it can work on almost any surface. She wasn't a heavy laptop user, I had got her a chromebook from Acer and she eventually told me she hated it so I gifted her my Pixelbook i7 with 512GB NVMe SSD and 16GB RAM with a crazy near 4K touchscreen and totally silent. I then did some engineering and got it to run windows 10 with all features. Then I left my MX3 as her mouse. She immediately wanted one. Lol. So she has the MX3s now in Pale Grey which matches the Pixelbook. She likes the quiet buttons, I like more tactile. 4000 dpi works fine for me. Love these mice use USB C charging.

I've been using the mx revolution for years. It's an amazing mouse but it's old now haha. I'm thinking if picking up the S. I'll miss the docking station, but the usb-c it's a solid upgrade. Thanks for the review!

I have that exact model of Salter Kitchen Scales with glass top. 😎

Thanks for this comparison review. 🙏🏻

You don't need to click the button to scroll without the tactile increments. That automatically changes when you scroll quickly, which is the best feature. The only problem is that when you do click the button and scroll slowly without the tactile feel, it still scrolls the screen incrementally rather than smoothly, so there is never smooth scrolling. I like the clicking.

Finally an unbiased, honest opinioned comparison... thank you so much

I love the mouse but hate the light grey color that I got. After only 1 month of use the light grey rubber is dirty and dingy and stained from the natural oils in my skin and nothing I used was able to get the staining out. I ended up buying a broken black MX 3 and putting the top shell from that onto the lower of the MX 3S. Now I don't have to worry about a nasty dirty looking mouse and it now imo looks cool with the black upper and silver lower part. Also regarding tracking on glass, it does work. I bought a glass mouse pad a few weeks ago and it works like a dream. The difference between my glass mouse pad and what you used is that my glass mouse pad has a texture etched into it, or rather casted? into it. Where the surface isn't completely smooth, but this is definitely the best mouse pad I have EVER used and it works with old Redragon mouse too.

I wanted an MX Mouse and got the new 3S as it was just out and while I can't speak for the older models the 3S is absolutely fantastic. Wonderful bit of kit.

[EDUBX]

Thanks man much appreciated, I got the mx3 coming this Saturday.

[extra]

To be honest, the biggest reason I got the 3S over the cheaper 3 is the white (pale grey) color way. I’ve always hated how there was no white option to match my setup before, and finally I can have USB-C vs the micro-usb on my 2S

[MsTracyBennett]

You had me at first click! The M3 was just obnoxious compared to the S. Glad I got the info before i made the purchase. Cheers!

[tookallyourmoney]

Digging it. The only gripe ive had is the click area wears into a smooth shiny area making it look older and more worn than it really is. Wish they would make that out of something else. Well done review.
