Review

The MX Master 3S is still my daily driver for coding and video editing. Logitech’s signature shape fits my hand perfectly through 10-hour sessions, and the quieter 3S switches let me click during calls without hammering my mic. MagSpeed scrolling remains magical—flick to zip through hundreds of lines or press to go back to ratchet mode for precision. Logi Options+ has matured a ton: I map the thumb wheel to VS Code tab switching, assign macros per app, and use Flow to drag files between my MacBook and Windows tower seamlessly. Battery life averages about two months per charge, and USB-C quick charging gives me three hours from a one-minute top-off. The only caveats are the premium price and the fact that smaller hands may prefer the Lift Vertical, but if you want a wireless productivity mouse that feels purpose-built for developers, the 3S is still king.

✓ Pros

  • ✓Ergonomic sculpt supports long sessions without fatigue
  • ✓MagSpeed wheel flips between ratchet and free-spin instantly
  • ✓Options+ software offers per-app workflows and Flow multi-PC control
  • ✓Quiet 3S clicks play nicer on calls
  • ✓USB-C fast charging delivers hours of use from minutes plugged in

✗ Cons

  • ✗Premium pricing compared with mainstream mice
  • ✗Large chassis can overwhelm smaller hands
