I too have a logitech MX master 3S mouse and it's fantastic across Windows, Linux and Mac.
The only downside of it, is that it needs a larger battery for the price. I think you can hack it and put a larger one in there if you like, but still, the thing costs $99 which is kind of a lot for a mouse.
- garyfirestorm 2y agoThe first MX Master I got sometime in 16 lasted almost 6-7 years. I don’t mind spending that if my hand will be ergonomically stable for long term use. I recently upgraded to the new MX Master 3? And even got myself the Mx keyboard. Loving it!
- bb88 2y agoThe first MX Master 3S I had lasted a bit over 3 years. The battery would be constantly needing to be refreshed about once a week. It kinda got annoying. I still have it with the intentions of hacking it and replacing the battery for a secondary mouse for use in the garage, but ... I'm trying to get other things done first.

- jonathanlydall 2y agoDoes this mouse forego the rubber finish which invariably goes icky after a few years? Every non-bottom of the range Logitech mouse I've ever had has suffered this problem. After a few years the "rubber" parts of the exterior of the mouse just become icky, like they gradually absorb your body oils and slowly dissolve. I'd be much happier if they just had hard plastic, like the bottom of the range. In fact, on my longest used Logitech (dual optical from early 2000s), I eventually ripped off the rubber and it was great to use for years after until eventually the mouse wheel packed up. Subsequently my recent mice have been the $5 M90 which doesn't have any rubber finish. I don't suffer any kind RSI so far (despite being over 40 now), but from an ergonomics perspective I wouldn't mind something better.
- fmajid 2y agoThat's because "soft touch" finishes are usually basically incompletely polymerized plastic painted on the body instead of more premium materials like rubber or silicone, and yes, they will break down over time. You can fix it using isopropyl alcohol and a scotch-brite or similar sponge to scrape it off, but better not to have it in the first place.
- stavros 2y agoLarger battery? Why? I already don't remember when I last charged it, plus I can charge it while using it anyway.
