- The Logitech MX Master 3 is what many consider to be the best productivity mouse, period. I’m pretty familiar with the whole MX Master lineup at this point, I mean I’ve purchased and used every single version of it. The question is, will this $100 mouse actually boost your productivity? Is it worth the hefty price tag? These are my thoughts on the Logitech MX Master 3.

I have this mouse, I tried convincing my aunt that it was worth it because she complained about having to replace the batteries in her mouse. I love that it’s rechargeable and the battery lasts a long time. But when I told her it was $100 she said never mind lol
Yeah, hard to justify for most people lol
🤣 You know the Logitech mouses are pretty neat. Until I switched to MX Master I was using M325 which I bought for $15 Canadian on Black Friday and you will pretty much forget that it runs on battery. I good alkaline battery easily lasts for 2 years.
Me: There is no way I'm spending that much money on a mouse!
Also me: Have you seen my mechanical keyboard? Just got new keycaps!
@@gkampolis lolz
@@gkampolis Are you really poor or just cheap??..
I just recently bought the MX Master 3 a few weeks ago for personal use, and even though I don't use all of the features, I love it for a few reasons: 1) it is easily the most comfortable and ergonomic mouse I've ever used, and so good for my hands which get sore really easily, b) the USB-C charging is compatible with all of my charging hardware, and c) how well it glides across any surface or mousepad I use is so good. The productivity features are amazing, but they weren't what pushed me to get the mouse in the first place, they were just a bonus.
I bought this mouse too, and it's amazing. I bought it together with MX Keys. It's the perfect combo. I bought the grey one, but returned it for the black one, because on internet people said that this grey one will get dirty and lose color in time. At least on the black one you can't see this decoloring.
I have MX keys and its great - Have been contemplating getting this mouse but can't justify the price for the work I do.
I have the same setup: MX Keys + MX Master 3.
Can't believe I spent $200 for a keyboard and mouse, but after using them, I will NEVER go back to using cheap keyboard and mice again (which is what I'd always use before).
internet people lol, are absolutely right. I have the light grey one and it looks disgusting. Last week i bought a used black one and took the black top off of it and put it onto my grey/silver bottom. Now I don't have to worry about a dirty mouse, and i have a backup incase this one breaks.
@@thebasketballhistorian3291 same. I almost bought the MX Mechanical keyboard but talked myself out of it and just bought the regular MX Keys. I couldn't justify spending $160 on a keyboard after i had just spent $100 on a mouse.
Wow, you are reading my mind, just as I start researching into this mouse, my favorite tech youtuber posts a video about it!
I've had this mouse for almost a year and I love it. I hope flow gets better between Mac and Windows.
I purchased a Logitech Performance MX in 2009 when it was first released it is still going strong today. It's the predecessor to the MX master. I'm not using it on a daily basis anymore, but it's still in perfect condition after many thousands of hours of use. I only had to replace one button switch inside the mouse over the cause of 15 years. I still have a brand new In box that I also bought back in 2009 that I never opened because I always purchase a spare as i do with many product i love.
I am a lefty. I use a mouse with my right hand. Same goes for scissors. Some things, it's just easier to adapt to the world all you wrong handed people created, rather than try to find the few lefty options out there.
My friend is the same, and he plays FPS game perfectly too.
Although I'm right handed, I've learned to use my mouse with the left hand too because I often hold a Wacom pen in my right hand to do photo retouching.
I love the MC series, I just wish they would add the silent clicking that I love on the smaller Logitech mouse.
I have the MX Master 3, and I absolutely love it! I will say though, that at first I had to get used to the design because I felt like it cramped my pinky and my ring finger....I even thought about returning it the first week lol. I got used to it though and now it feels great in my hand. I also love the battery life, I bought it almost a year ago and I think I've only had to charge it twice!
Liked the lil skit in the intro. Great video!
The MX master 2S can be brought for around $45 or so. It’s a no brainer right now

Thank you for reviewing this. I just recently subscribe because of your tablet reviews, I admire how you evaluate every detail in every tech product you review.
I love this mouse for its ergonomic shape and its bluetooth function. However, as a hotkey person, I rarely use more than the left, right buttons and the scroll wheel. My wife has small hands and doesn't feel this mouse comfortable.
Just when I was thinking of getting this mouse as an upgrade from my MX anywhere 2, Thao makes a video 👏🏽👏🏽
How is it holding up so far? Are you happy you made the purchase?
This is an intense mouse. I really haven’t even seen these before or knew that I needed one……great video!
Love it how you say ‘thao here’
Love the intro Thao! i think this will be a great purchase especially i am using the computer all the time working from home!
This is worth every buck. I replaced my new magic trackpad with the mx master 3. The amount of functionalities you have on this thing makes my life so much easier. The mouse gestures combined with the button you are pressing works extremely well! A magic mouse 2 or the magic trackpad really doesn't come close to this mouse
Dope Review Thao! My friend Charlie has this, and I've heard that it's awesome, with the Logitech software and the whole ergonomics of the mouse generally. I also never knew you edited in Resolve(2:24) finally someone not using premier! The Shortcuts are my favorite part of the mouse too, Amazing video:)
Used Resolve when I was just getting started on RUclips and have stuck with it since. Love it!
Yeah! Just started using resolve a week ago and it's amazing! Definitely will be using it to edit!
Bought one last year for work, best purchase yet
As a left handed person I prefer using the mouse with my right hand and still be able to take notes with my left, or more realistically, east and use mouse at the same time :)
Whoa, never thought of that. Maybe I should try a left handed mouse!
I've had mine for about 6months and there's some pros and cons. Pros is the buttery smooth gliding, but that is probably because I have a glass mouse pad, also I love how ergonomic it is, and the weight of the mouse is perfect. i like a heavy mouse. Two major cons for me is the color I got, light grey, it's a dirt and stain magnet. Just Last week i actually bought a regular MX Master 3 (I have the 3S) and I took both mice apart and put the black top shell from the 3 onto my 3S so now i don't have to worry about a dingy looking mouse. Another huge issue I had was connectivity. My 3S came with a Bolt receiver instead of the regular unifying receiver and I was constantly having issues with the mouse being laggy and the side scroll wheel which i use for system volume, not working. I now have the mouse connected via bluetooth and haven't had any problems.
I still have the first gen. its still awesome.
Thanks for sharing! I bought it two weeks ago and I'm still very happy with it (the best I've ever had)! :)
I have issues with my right hand, so bought the MX Ergo trackball mouse. I don't think I could go back to a regular mouse now after feeling the benefits of using a trackball, but I wouldn't be against trying other brands in the future, especially if Logitech takes too long in releasing an updated version.
I just picked it up this week, much quicker editing with that side scroll
I have this mouth and thoroughly appreciate it! Like you said, especially for content creation. Having different profiles for Lightroom, Photoshop, and Illustrator is wonderful. This mouse in Premiere Pro is amazing! haha I can go on and on. While it is for sure expensive for a mouse, it works wonders! It's funny my only complaint about this mouse is the same as yours, lack of a left hand option altogether sucks for those who need it.
i just ordered this via my company. Can't wait to get it.
Can't believe I spent $100 on a mouse.. but I got a $100 amazon gift card and knew instantly what I was going to blow it on! So far loving this thing. The flow feature works flawlessly for me, but I use it with the CTRL modifier which never seems to miss. Also keeps me from accidentally invoking it. Switches between my 27" iMac and Samsung 360 laptop perfectly. I love everything about this mouse but the only thing that's gonna take a lot of getting used to is the dedicated side scroll button, as opposed to just leaning on my scroll wheel. So far find myself leaning on the scroll wheel as I've been used to for decades... now I have to re-train myself to use the side scroll. The gesture button is a whole new level of interaction from a mouse!
I have the 2s and love it. I have larger hands and enjoy the ergonomic comfort. Honestly, I would buy the 2s to save money over the 3 even if I didn't plan on using the short cuts.
the only issue is I no longer have a micro usb cable. Even tho I rarely charge my mouse, its nice to have piece of mind knowing I can. I use normal usb for my phone, laptop, camera and mouse.
You can use the button behind the scroll wheel to switch between free and precision scrolling like you said, but you can also just flick the scroll wheel to let it spin freely.
For years I couldn't use any other mouse than my Microsoft Wireless 5000. It was just perfect. Nothing else worked as well for me, and had all the buttons programmable. I liked it so much I bought every one of them I could get my hands on. You can't even find them now. (At least not for the $18 I paid!) Recently I switched to a Logitech M720 and I really like it. It's finally replaced the 5000. M720 is similar shape to the MX Master mice... but I really want to try the Master 3. Your video may have just convinced me. Never thought I'd even consider a $100 mouse, but this may be well worth it! My hand is on a mouse for 8 hours a day and more editing video- so it's important to me to have the best for my needs.
It's like you read my mind! I was just researching about this mouse and am considering buying one. And then your video pops up. Amazing as always. 😊
Really helpful that you pointed out the cons so it didn’t feel like a paid ad, gonna get one tomorrow
If you got no problem with the micro usb charge port (You'll be charging it like 4 times a year max) get the 2s. I got that one at $60 and I plan to do the same with this one.
I like the idea of going from device to device, reminds me of Universal Control coming soon to macOS. Hopefully with it being inbuilt to the OS, it won't have it's frustrating moments when the mouse would go from one screen to the next but then refuse to go back to the original screen. It would also be cool to have the Samsung + Windows partnership come into play here if you have a Tab S7 and a Windows desktop. Great video as always!
Sis i loved every single of your videos... And thus one is no different ❤️❤️They are so nice and the best is it's getting better and better... All there with you so go ahead ❤️
Been using the mx master 2 since 2018, by far best mouse I have ever used. Maybe I’ll buy the 3 when it becomes cheaper but they’re made to last
One of my most like tech reviewer. Honest insights. You definitely deserve more subcribers. Keep up the good work ❤️
I owned an MX Master every since it was introduced. I absolutely love the mouse. When my MXM broke, I made the mistake buying the MX Anywhere. After using it for one week, I gave it to a friend and bought the MXM2S. I have small hands, and the MXM is a large mouse. But the Anywhere gave me cramps in my hand, I was so used to a big mouse now. The 2S still works, so no need to buy the 3S.... yet! Because my next mouse will certainly be another MX Master. Whatever type there is when my 2S brakes down. Maybe the 4S :) And the price. It is absolutely worth it, this is just the best mouse on the market.
Thao - I've paired my Logi MX Master 3 with Logi's Ergo K860 wireless keyboard. Beside a great ergonomic shape, it allows you to pair it to three devices at the same time. This allows you to change the mouse and the keyboard from device to device. Love your videos! Keep the goodness coming!
I love you thao, thanks for making such cool gadget videos.
I've almost got all the diff versions of MX Anywhere myself. I prefer it due to being smaller, lighter and in design I use mostly my fingers to move the mouse in tiny rapid movements rather than resting my whole hand. I find that is the most effective way to do repetitive CADD drafting / design. Less movement. Mostly flicking. High DPI helps a lot in my line of work. I wish they would release a special edition making it super-light and low latency to also cater to casual gamers who also work on their laptops like me. PS Shoutout to Logitech for changing the scroll wheel to full metal. Much less tacky and gross to use. 3S Graphite is just slow to arrive here in the Philippines. I'm really impatient already.
Hi thao! Just wondering if you will do a review on the galaxy book flex and flex 2!
And also, what is the wireless charger you have?
Hi! Likely not 🙁. I'm also not really using a wireless charger right now.
@@thao oh ok just thought I saw one in your desk that's all, thanks!
I love these mice. I got them in a bundle with a keyboard. I have the first two in you video.
Best mouse ever. For me, it's a life changer. For video editing, increase so much my productivity
I have this mouse, and it rocks. I use it seamlessly between my Mac and my work PC through Bluetooth.
Great review. I have the exact same one (Mid Grey) that I use with my MacBook Pro, Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and Samsung Galaxy S9. This is a high quality mouse that is comfortable to use.
I have the previous version, MX Master 2S because it was on a big sale on Black Friday. I’d love to get the next one but it’s just too pricey. But love the whole line! I have the MX Keys for Mac as well, and the best part is being able to switch between different devices for both of them and not needing to use the USB transmitter if you don’t want to, and just using regular bluetooth.
cant think of using any other mouse other than these mx series line ups. currently on 2s
Great review I recently bought one and I love it for my daily workflow.
I have the 2s and it's been great. Solid purchase
Hi Thảo, I just bought this one and LOVE it!
Ong I'm soooooo late!! I didn't realised you posted!!
I have this and use it in conjunction with the MX Keys. If you do any type of extensive computer work, esp if you switch between work and home computers, I could not recommend this more. Developers.. must buy
Yes I am getting one soon. Thanks Thao.
Cleaning. Something we sometimes forget about before buying a gadget. I just spent 30 minutes cleaning my G502 Hero. Why do mice end up with dirt I’ve never seen anywhere else in the Universe? 🙂
Great insight 💯 was planning to get an upgrade from my old MX 2. I see you using Affinity and DaVinci 🔥.
It's basically a G502 with USB-C but without the Hero sensor and Lightspeed. It's pretty good for everything other than competitive/fast-paced gaming (the Unifying Receiver isn't as fast in terms of latency and response time). But casual gaming like Civ, Sims, and some single-player games with more flowy combat styles? Good to go.
Hey Thao, I bought it in april and i'm loving it so much. really helpful when editing videos. what is the model of your keyboard ? thinking about getting mx keys or keychron wireless.
great review! I highly recommend the G602/604 though. It's the best mouse ever.
Where is the tab s7 plus? 🥺
I read a few bad reviews in Amazon but after watching I'll give it try.
Loved that intro
Great video Thao! Do u know of another mouse in between the size of the master and the anywhere... Which also used the same unify dongle? I want a 2nd mouse for my day bag, so ordered the anywhere 3... And it's disappointingly super tiny. Will send it back.
This is by far the absolute best mouse I have ever owned. Pairs great with the also excellent MX Mechanical keyboard. Just wish the keyboard had swappable key switches, but otherwise it’s great for productivity.
Thank you for your video. So helpful! I'm considering purchasing this for my video editing needs. Do you know if this will allow me to do side scrolling on Premiere Elements (not Pro)?
I bought the one for PC/Mac. Works fine between my MBP 16, my Dell Company laptop & my iPad Pro but it lags after few months of use on my MBP 16. Had to buy Magic Mouse because of this issue. The flow thingy doesn’t work on my company laptop. But I really love this mouse. Thinking of buying the one for Mac 🤔
This mouse works flawless with windows but I find it a little buggy with my Mac.
I don't use a computer but this video is awesome 👏😎👌thank you Thao 👍❤🤗😃🙏
Thanks for the video!
I have this mouse, and it's amazing! I work with two computers, and I use a software from Microsoft to replace Flow: Mouse without borders. It works so much better. The only problem is that I think it's only available for windows, but you can give it a try. As always, great video!
Next check out the master keys keyboard. I love that keyboard, and so does my 2 year old daughter 😫
I tried this mouse and took it back. It has a large hump a but too far back for me and the right side tapers too quickly off the edge to the right. I always had two fingers dragging on the mouse pad. (BTW, you rock!)
that is the best looking mouse pad ive ever seen! where did u get it?
I have using this mouse for over 5 years and it so amaze me
Best mouse ever
Just got one for xmas so far I love it
As a programmer i think this is the perfect mouse.
Hey, I have that mouse.lol. It is SUPER highly rated, but I ended up using my MX Ergo instead. Missy of the features except I don't have to move the mouse around because the Ergo odds a trackball mouse.
I like just putting my mouse on my knee and flowing from my aurora 9 to my M17 seamlessly.
I LOVE it and the MX Master Keys keyboard as well. If it makes me THINK I'm more productive I'll take it!
Off mouse topic, but curious what bookshelf speakers are you using?
Use mine everyday on three systems. So worth it.
If you use windows and multiple Apple devices at the same time then just pair either your iMac or MacBook with your mouse and start using universal control, it will get your job done while leaving one slot to pair another device despite having 2 paired devices.
Currently have a G604 that let me switch between BT on my Android tablet and the 2.4ghz dongle for my laptop via the button on top of the mouse. Not a fan of the rubberized mid-palm area since it might get sticky as it degrades over time, do I prefer hard plastic without any coatings. IMO your device switch should be on the top, below the scroll toggle so people don't have to lift the mouse.
Been awhile since I had any sort of jog or scroll wheel on the thumb area, only mouse I had that had it was the Revolution MX more than a decade ago.
If it's cursor control was anything like the G502 and had onboard memory, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, Logitech has done a great job of gimping it.
It you have relatively large hands like myself, your thumb will CONSTANTLY rub against the forward / back buttons.
Grate Video, This is an intense mouse.
Do left handers have trouble using a mouse with their right hand? I'm right handed but that doesn't mean my left hand is useless. There are plenty things that I've had to adapt to using my left hand throughout life. Even using a mouse when my right hand was injured and it wasn't that hard. Writing (or serving a volleyball) is probably one of the few things my left hand can't do well. But if I needed to I bet I can master it with practice.
Great video! I am planning to buy it but I am concerned about my hand size. Is good for small hand person? What is your hand size?
I also want to by this mouse but my concern is same as your. Small ✋
Also consider a Logitech M720. 95% of the functionality (no Flow) in a more manageable size and a fraction of the cost.
Love ur vids
Hi beauty, I have one important question about this mouse related topic, I am so confuse these days which mouse to buy as I am UI/UX designer, could you recommend me which one is the right option to get it as I use only apple's Mac machines , so MX master 3 for Mac or Apple's magic mouse 2 so which one ? Guys 😜👨💻 or magic trackpad 2 ?
4:31 yeah it's true i too own mx master 2s even tho i keep my desk so clean the dust fills in
I have the 3 and I think it's an amazing mouse. I do wish the different profiles for apps could also be applied to webapps. For work I'm almost only in webapps these days. Also Logitech should offer a left handed option.
Still even though I use it every day and think it's a great addition to my setup, there's no way I would pay $100 for it.
The type c charger is a must have for sure... i have a cheap bt mouse like that for my tab s7 and the extra buttons on the side makes the experience a million times better 👏
Cant imagine how this one would work 🔥
Ps. I wish the button switch for devices was on top.. that would make the experience even more seamless
Great review
The bug where you can only go one way and not the other using flow is fixed if you use the options+ app
Hoping to see a USB-C Unifying receiver with the next version or at least a add on purchase.
Dry Toothbrush is your friend for cleaning those dirt's :D
I can't believe they did not build a slot for that receiver in the mouse.
