Operating Instructions
The MX Master 3 for Mac offers intuitive controls and advanced features to enhance your workflow:
- MagSpeed Scroll Wheel: The main scroll wheel provides two modes: hyper-fast scrolling for long documents and pixel-precise scrolling for detailed work. The mouse intelligently switches between these modes based on your scrolling speed, or you can manually switch using the function button.
- Thumb Scroll Wheel: Located on the side, this wheel allows for horizontal scrolling, useful for navigating spreadsheets or video timelines.
- Thumb Buttons: Two customizable buttons are positioned near the thumb rest for easy access to forward/back navigation or other assigned functions.
- Gesture Button: The thumb rest itself acts as a gesture button. Hold it down and move the mouse in different directions to activate macOS gestures like switching desktops, opening Mission Control, or displaying Launchpad.
- Easy-Switch Button: On the bottom of the mouse, this button allows you to quickly switch between up to three paired devices (e.g., Mac, iPad).
Customization
Unlock the full potential of your MX Master 3 for Mac by customizing its buttons and gestures using the Logitech Options software. This software allows you to:
- Assign specific functions to each button and gesture.
- Create app-specific profiles, so your mouse behaves differently in various applications (e.g., different shortcuts for Photoshop vs. a web browser).
- Adjust tracking speed (DPI) and scrolling sensitivity.
