![]() ![]() Like previous MX Master mice, the MX Master 3’s scroll wheel has a step-by-step ratchet mode and a smooth free-wheeling free spin mode which it can switch between. The name comes from its electromagnetic scrolling system. Like the thumb wheel, the main scroll wheel is now machined out of steel and it has a fancy name called MagSpeed. The other big change is the scroll wheel. The only way to tell how much battery is left in your MX Master 3 is to open the Logitech Options app (more on that later). The older MX Master mice have three LED indicators on the side that gives a pretty good idea of how much charge is left. One unfortunate aspect of this redesign is that the LED battery indicators are gone. Left-handers, I suspect, will still have a hard time with the MX Master 3. ![]() But all of this only applies if you are right-handed. This makes them easier to reach and more distinct to users. Now, they sit just below the thumb wheel and are larger. ![]() They used to reside just next to the thumb wheel, which made them a little hard to reach. The back and front thumb buttons have also been enlarged and repositioned. The thumb wheel is now fashioned out of steel ― it used to be rubber-coated ― and larger, making it easier to use.

It looks bulky and oddly-shaped until you put your hands on it and then realise just how pleasant it is to hold. This is supposed to be more ergonomic and helps relieve pressure on your wrist. The overall shape of the MX Master 3 is largely similar to predecessors but its vertical profile is more pronounced so it more closely resembles a vertical mouse. It is significant because, for the first time since 2015, it actually has a new design. The MX Master 3 is the latest in a long line of revered productivity and general-purpose mice from Logitech.
