Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge your MX Anywhere 3 mouse.

2. Press the Easy-Switch button on the bottom of the mouse to select a channel (1, 2, or 3). The LED indicator for the selected channel will blink rapidly, indicating it's ready for pairing.

Installing Logitech Options+ Software

To unlock the full potential of your MX Anywhere 3 mouse, including button customization, gesture controls, and application-specific settings, download and install the Logitech Options+ software from the official Logitech website. This software is compatible with macOS and Windows operating systems.

Operating

MagSpeed Scrolling

The MX Anywhere 3 features the MagSpeed Electromagnetic scrolling wheel, offering two modes:

• Rachet Mode: Provides precise, line-by-line scrolling, ideal for detailed work.
• Hyper-Fast Mode: Automatically shifts to free-spinning mode for rapid scrolling through long documents or web pages. You can scroll 1,000 lines in a second.

The mode can be switched manually by pressing the mode shift button located behind the scroll wheel, or it can automatically switch based on your scrolling speed.

Customizable Buttons

Your MX Anywhere 3 mouse has several customizable buttons:

• Left/Right Click: Standard mouse buttons.
• Side Buttons: Located on the left side of the mouse, these are typically configured for Back/Forward navigation. Their function can be customized using Logitech Options+ software.
• Gesture Button: The button behind the scroll wheel can also be configured as a gesture button, allowing you to perform various actions by holding the button and moving the mouse.

Use Logitech Options+ to assign specific functions or application-specific shortcuts to these buttons, such as for Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Word, or Google Chrome.

Track Anywhere - Even Glass

The Darkfield™ High Precision tracking allows the MX Anywhere 3 to track on virtually any surface, including glass (minimum 4mm thickness). This provides exceptional versatility, allowing you to work seamlessly on a desk, a cafe table, or even on your couch.

Logitech Flow (Multi-Computer Control)

If you have multiple computers (Windows or macOS), Logitech Flow enables you to seamlessly control them with a single MX Anywhere 3 mouse. Simply move your cursor to the edge of one screen, and it will automatically appear on the next. You can even transfer text, images, and files between computers by copying on one and pasting on the other. This feature requires Logitech Options+ software installed on all connected computers.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Mouse

To maintain optimal performance and hygiene, clean your mouse regularly:

• Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or an alcohol-based cleaner (e.g., isopropyl alcohol).
• Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or excessive moisture.
• Clean the optical sensor area on the bottom of the mouse gently to ensure accurate tracking.

Battery Care

The MX Anywhere 3 uses a built-in rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery. To prolong battery life:

• Avoid exposing the mouse to extreme temperatures.
• Charge the mouse when the battery indicator shows low power.
• If storing the mouse for an extended period, charge it to about 50% before storage.

Troubleshooting

Mouse Not Connecting/Pairing

• Ensure the mouse is powered on and charged.
• Check that the correct Easy-Switch channel (1, 2, or 3) is selected and blinking rapidly.
• Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your computer/device.
• Try unpairing and re-pairing the mouse in your device's Bluetooth settings.
• Restart your computer/device.

Erratic Cursor Movement or Tracking Issues

• Clean the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse.
• Ensure the surface you are using is clean and free of debris. While the mouse tracks on glass, ensure the glass is clean.
• Avoid highly reflective or patterned surfaces if issues persist.

Scroll Wheel Not Functioning Correctly

• Ensure the scroll wheel is clean and free of dust or debris.
• Check scroll settings in Logitech Options+ software or your operating system's mouse settings.
• Toggle the mode shift button behind the scroll wheel to see if it resolves the issue.

Side Buttons Not Working as Expected
