I'm using on a daily basis the grandma of these models (Logitech Performance MX) for more than 13 years already and it is still working fantastic :). Only changed the battery once - a standard AA (Ni-MH) battery. Compared to the newer models the main differences are there is not side scroll wheel (there is one more button instead) and the absence of the gesture options. But the available customization options and shortcuts were more than enough for me anyways. Everything else is the same including the customization of different shortcuts for different applications. So if you are still able to find it somewhere used it will be a great deal. Those things were build to last - 13 years and still counting, with more than 10 hours per day heavy editing work. Not sure if this applies to the newer versions though... Nowadays they don't make things to last long, as companies' strategies shifted to making more profit... Only time will tell ;)
I, too, had this mouse for almost 2-years and never realized the full potential until I watched your video. Thanks so much! You've got a new subscriber!
Thank you! After 10 years using a magic mouse (with frustrations) I finally gave up and got the MX-3. I haven’t customized it yet… but now I willl (today). Enjoy your videos. Cheers from Paris.
Haha, yeah that magic mouse is frustrating! :D Hope you get it all customized out for your needs :) Feel free to reach out if you get stuck, I'll try to help if I can
Thank you so much! I had to take back a Razer Naga Pro mouse because it wouldn't work with Mac and this mouse was the only option to replace.... I now see it was a blessing in disguise because it has way more functionality!
I have been hunting around for this EXACT video for a month. Thank you. I just bought G502X specifically for editing and this answered all my questions!
Hello miss! Is 125 hz maximum polling rate of it’s mouse don’t annoying you by the stuttering oc cursor comparing gaming mouses with 1000 hz and much more smooth cursor movement? Thank u!
Hi from the UK? Like you I've had this mouse for a while and I've not explored all the ways I could customize it to really help my workflow. I've learnt so much from this video and I`ll be customizing my mouse in the next few days. Thank you so much.
I've had the 2S for maybe 5 years and never customized it. I have configured it work on 2 different machines. Thanks for the "what were you thinking or not thinking"
Now we’re talking :) Good walkthrough :) I usually keep a piece of paper pinned next to my screen with all customizations for the first couple of weeks after doing a customized setup, both to remind me I’ve set them up and what they are, having 5-6 sets of customizations spread over resolve, ableton live, photoshop +++ quickly gets out of hand :)
Just got a new mouse last week. Trying to figure out best way to customize buttons….playing with a few ideas but no sure what I like yet. I use davinci resolve for editing. Hoping to speed up my editing once I optimize the custom buttons.
I'm glad to watch your video...now i see true potential of my 2s mouse...i almost using back my old gaming logitech mouse...because the extra button...thank you
The only thing missing is a MX Master for lefty... I know, i already asked 4 times directly to logitec and they redirect to the ambidex ones... and skip the problem. So they doesn't care about left mouse at all.
I agree, a left-handed one would make sense for those who need/want it. But I imagine for profit in their case, it would not be all that great of a choice. Sad tho all the same
i wish it could recognize if you are in the color tab or the editing tab and use differetn shortcuts... would love to zoom in and out by hold pressing the top wheel but in color tab i need it to copy paste grades ... anyways im happy just got it yesterday ... lots o thigs to learn
Best fucking video ive seen all day lol. Definitely life changing...i havent had it for 2 years, but its been about 6 months....this is def game changer :)
@@FellowFilmmaker this could go back and forth for a while, but the gratitude is mine. Sure now it is the master3 I have, but pretty similar enough for me to be so happy you came up on my recommendations. Luckily for me it is much less than 2 years, but things like mapping the forward and back buttons to trim edits is awesome, the multiple gesture mapping, which I really don't think I would have gotten to without someone such as yourself is awesome for someone that doesn't really want to have two hands on the keyboard. Of course I will now sub and hopefully catch up with some more of your content that I am sure is going to be just informative and another good a watch. Thank you again for your time and effort. If you ever get to the the south coast of England I owe you a coffee or tea. Ta muchly.
Does the shortcuts work on a different computer. if it does not have the Logitech app. if i set up all the shortcuts in my personal laptop(not app specific) and i want to use them in my work laptop which does not allow external apps like the Logitech app. will this work?
can you customize it for a specific website? such as when im on youtube i want th e side wheel to scrub the video but when im on other webpages i want it to change tabs
I don't believe so. You can customize it for a chrome or any other application type situation, but I don't see where you could do that for just a webpage. I could be wrong, but that's what I know so far
I just bought the MX Master 3 and it doesn’t even have the zoom using scroll wheel option. And the horizontal scroll with the thumb wheel barely works.
Seems like the feature I was most excited about, which is the zoom using scoll wheel, is not available anymore :/ That and the open web page. Why would they take that away lol Love the video so much! 100 times better than their video. They should hire you and put this on their official page.
I know, I'm disappointed too. I told them as much, but I doubt they listen to feedback. :/ haha, thanks! They def should hire someone to do a better tutorial :D
Just bought it but there is no way to make it work with Da Vinci, it doesn't appear in the software list and there is no way to find it. Did it just happen to me?
Hi! I work a lot with image processing in Photoshop, and I have a lot of tendinitis, which affects me a lot. It is possible in Logitech MX Master 3s, to fix and disable a tool, so that it is not continuously "pressing or clicking". Do I need Logitech keyboard-MX Key support ? Thank you.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but if you're asking if you can have it where you don't press or click for certain gestures or shortcuts you set up, then I'm not aware that is possible. Otherwise it's just a basic mouse at that point if you choose not to use the buttons.
1:52 - Open web page ... did this get removed or something? I can't find it anywhere. I'm using an MX Masters 3 on Windows 10 with logi options ver. 1.24.2581
Yeah ive been tryin to get Logitech to do something bout that one. I bought the mx3 recently and was surprised to find several features missing with the new logi options+ program. They havent resolved it yet and said the best thing to do was to submit forms requesting the feature.
@@FellowFilmmaker I won't hold my breath. edit: is it possible in any way to use the last version it was available? Im guessing not since logitech requires to be tethered to your pc 24/7 to use the product...... I love the mouse I hate the required intrusion
Sadly the MX3 doesn't work with the old version of options... And you should be able to use the mouse wirelessly with bluetooth... If you don't like how the MX3 is treating you, I prefer the MX master 2s which you can still buy and use with the old options program that has all the features I've shown
@@FellowFilmmaker I'm not that worried I can make a shortcut through chrome then open file shortcut.. I just don't understand Logitech's software team they are an embarrassment well, at least the app development teams. None o their software is up to par for the size of their company and the amount of time they have been a top industry name
I like to use my stream deck for shortcuts as well for where the mouse can't do what I want :D I think between the two it gets done what I need to. But I agree, it is sad they don't put more effort into the features
Main difference is they moved the side buttons a little down so they are easier to reach with your thumb. Slight shift really. Otherwise, they are nearly the same. :D
Mine randomly microdisconnects all the time. It's so frustrating watching my mouse lag and flutter around only to tell me it's not connected, even though its still moving
I didn’t know this was possible !! 😮😮 I was hesitant about getting the magic mouse cuz I don’t like the ergonomics, but I wanted yo have gestures for Mac Os. This definitely solves everything!! Thanks

guys, that mouse is so good that when I see a video like this one I feel I wanna buy the mouse.. even when I already have it and I am using it right now..

How many of ya'll have this mouse? or will you get one if you don't? :D
It's great! W streamdeck as well 👌👌👌🤙

Looked up Mouse Shortcuts for Premiere Pro and your video turned up. Bought my mouse 1 week ago and I am excited to increase my editing workflow
Happy to hear that! Hope you speed up your workflow soon
Thank you for your straight forward video!
most welcome
Keystroke assignment is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you!!
Happy to help
Cool video didn't find functionality explained in any other RUclips videos this good 👍 . Nice 🤠
Thanks for the tips.Just picked up the mx and didn't know how I should customize it.
Wow - I love this mouse and so grateful I saw your video. Thank you!
I knew about the gesture button....but I was Unser the impression that it was only on the thumb pad! Your video blew my mind.
love to hear that :D
You deserve so much more attention. I consistently find your videos sooo helpful. Thank you!!

I was looking forward for this video. Thank you fellow filmmaker

I'm so glad!
I'm gonna have to bookmark this one. Haven't customized mine MX Master 3 yet, but it would probably help a ton.
When you do customize youll love it
It WILL.
Thank you for this. Never knew I could double use buttons for different configrations. I must try this when I go to the office
Glad I could help!
@@FellowFilmmaker thank you. got to learn more about customisation? are you on linkedIn?

I could listen to you say "bu'on" all day ! Great walk through, thank you.. You made me buy the 2S !
haha, hope you enjoy
That's the standard American English pronunciation. It's called a glottal 'T.' See also: certain, satin, cotton, kitten, etc.
Great video ! Thanks for your efforts ! it was very helpful and easy to understand !
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, thank you very much. Another YTer, Scott McKenna did a similar video for FCP and his MX3, I think. Love these! New subscriber.
Nice! Happy to have you here :D
Very nice vid thx. Would you prefer mx 3s over this one ? Or mx 2s just doing fine?
Honestly the 2s is fine, but I do have the 3s now and it's been pretty good ( a few features missing tho, which is too bad)

Well I hope you get to customize it soon! Really is quite powerful
@3:20, is that a satechi keyboard you are using?
greetings from sweden! :)
Yes it is :D I've had it awhile, it's pretty decent
Sometimes the volume buttons decide not to work, haha :D
ah... I have an MX3 for a bit more than a year and... of course I never looked into the details of customisation.... thanks 👍
Most welcome! Seems alot of us are like that
I have this mouse too and I love it!
It's a great mouse!
How come you can say 't' in 'cusTomize, but say bu'-un when you say 'button'?
I just bought the MX Master 3 and it doesn’t even have the zoom using scroll wheel option. And the horizontal scroll with the thumb wheel barely works.
Great video!
Thank you very much!
How do you get the logiteck options apt.
Wow great video! I had the MX Master 3 for over a year now and had no idea this was possible 😂
Glad I could help!
Can you use push of wheel to be Copy swipe right or Past scroll left as example?
oh yeah, you def can :D I do stuff like that alot. I use the scroll wheel for deleting stuff
Hi Heather, does it work well with new m1 macs?

Oh yeah, the gesture button... the most awkwardly placed, stiff, annoying button made for tiny hands, requiring an customization app which begs you to set up an account all the time, which then functions pretty much like spyware.
