FAQS

How is this for gaming?

This is definitely not a gaming mouse. The polling rate is only 125Hz, where a typical gaming mouse would poll 500-1000Hz, or more. Nothing is stopping you from playing games with it, but if you’re looking for something that will excel at gaming you’d be better served with a gaming oriented model.

Is there a way to silence the left and right click?

Yes, but it involves knowing how to desolder the old switches and soldering in silent switches that you can find online somewhere or another silent mouse. I’ve silenced all my mice this way and it is actually really easy with the right tools.

What’s the difference between this one and the regular MX Master 3?

MX Master 3 for Mac is finished in Space Gray – meaning its look fits perfectly with your Mac and iPad ecosystem.

Questions & Answers

Use this section to ask about setup, compatibility, troubleshooting, or anything missing from this manual.

  1. I hope that the gesture button can be set to switch the mouse device. If multiple computers cannot be connected to the same domain, the function of data replication cannot be achieved. At least I hope that shortcut keys can be set to achieve the function of mouse switching between multiple systems.
    The USB is plugged into the A system, and the B system uses Bluetooth, so you don’t need to turn to the back and press the button to switch
    希望手勢按鍵可以設定切換 滑鼠裝置,如果無法將多台電腦都連在同一個網域下,不能達成資料複製的功能,至少希望可以設定快捷鍵,達成滑鼠在多系統切換的功能,
    USB插在A系統,B系統使用藍芽,這樣不需要翻過去背面按按鈕就能切換

  2. I see the thumbwheel can be assigned to “Brush Size” within PhotoShop. I use Affinity Photo, and was able to map all the other buttons/wheel the way I wanted, but “Brush Size” is not available for the thumbwheel.
    Is there a way to add it? Thanks in advance!

    Question

    How can I assign the thumbwheel to 'Brush Size' in Affinity Photo for the Logitech MX Master 3?

    Answer

    While the Logitech MX Master 3 includes a predefined "Brush Size" preset for Adobe Photoshop, it does not currently have a native preset for Affinity Photo. To achieve this functionality, you can manually map the thumbwheel using custom keystrokes in the Logitech Options (or Options+) software:

    • Open Logitech Options and select your MX Master 3.
    • Click on the Thumb wheel settings.
    • In the top-right corner, click All Applications and then Add application to select Affinity Photo. This ensures the setting only applies when that program is active.
    • Change the thumbwheel assignment to Keystroke assignment.
    • In Affinity Photo, the default shortcuts for brush size are the bracket keys: [ to decrease and ] to increase.
    • Assign ] to Wheel forward/up and [ to Wheel backward/down.

    Once configured, rotating the thumbwheel while in Affinity Photo will simulate these key presses to adjust your brush size.

  3. Question: I just bought a Logitech MX MASTER 3.
    Why is it that the S/N on the box S/N: 2203LZ50EYR9 is different from the S/N on the mouse S/N 2203LZ50DJB8 ?

    Question

    Why is the serial number on the Logitech MX Master 3 box different from the serial number on the mouse itself?

    Answer

    It is normal for the serial number (S/N) on the packaging of Logitech products to differ from the serial number printed on the device itself. Logitech uses the serial number on the box to identify the complete retail package, while the serial number on the mouse identifies the specific hardware unit.

    For warranty claims or product registration, you should generally use the serial number found on the device (the mouse). On the MX Master 3, this is typically located on the bottom of the mouse or can be viewed within the Logitech Options+ software when the device is connected.

    If you need to verify the authenticity of your purchase from the Sha Tin Centre location, you can contact Logitech Support directly through their official website, though this S/N difference is standard manufacturing practice and not an indication of a problem.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How can I reset all previously paired devices on the Logitech MX Master 3 and MX Keys Mini?

    Answer

    To reset or clear paired devices on the Logitech MX Master 3 and MX Keys Mini, you can overwrite existing slots or use a manual reset combination. While the manual does not explicitly list a 'factory reset' button, you can achieve this through the following methods:

    • Overwrite Pairing Slots: Both devices use Easy-Switch technology with three channels. To replace a previously paired device, select the channel (1, 2, or 3) you wish to clear and press and hold the Easy-Switch button for three seconds. The LED will blink quickly, indicating it is in pairing mode and has cleared the previous connection for that slot.
    • Manual Reset Key Combination: For many Logitech MX series devices, you can perform a hardware reset by turning the device on and pressing the following key sequence: Esc → O (wait) → Esc → O (wait) → Esc → B. If successful, the Easy-Switch LEDs will flash.
    • Logi Options+ Software: You can also manage and remove paired devices by installing the Logi Options+ software on your computer, which allows you to see and unpair specific connections.
