MX Master

I love the Logitech MX Master mouse. It's just such a comfortable mouse to use.For many years I have used a Logitech wireless mouse, from the early noughties with an MX900. I had a VX Nano from 2007 for many years until it finally gave up on me. I swapped it for an MX Anywhere but that developed a fault just outside of warranty and having spent a lot of money on it I was put off from Logitech for a while. I went through a succession of Tecknet mice that were a direct copy of the VX Nano. They were great, and much cheaper than Logitech's original, but they also rarely lasted longer than a year.My wife uses a 10-year old Logitech MX Revolution mouse, which she adores but I have never felt quite comfortable with, but when I saw a Black Friday deal for the MX Master I looked a little closer at Logitech once again. And, I'm glad that I did.Although I've always preferred smaller mice, the MX Master feels great. It's a bigger mouse than I'm used to but it feel really comfortable to use for long periods of time. The bottons are in the right place for my fingers and thumbs, although the forward/back buttons by my thumb just need an extra moment's thought to make sure you're pressing the right one.Battery life has been excellent so far and I have had no issues with connecting it to multiple sources. Which leads me to its real party trick. I work from home on my company laptop, and have my own personal laptop next to it. I also have an iPad Air Gen 3. This one Logitech mouse has the ability to control all three of those devices with nothing more than a press of a button underneath. As it connects by Bluetooth to both laptops and tablet their is no issue with having to swap dongles around. It works very nicely...although my only criticism is that you have to turn over the mouse to press the button. It takes the flashyness away some what not being able to glide effortlessly from one device to another. The button being placed on top would have remedied that.Overall though, it's been a fantastic mouse to use. It's on offer enough to be able to pick up a good deal on it. There are also newer versions of it, but from what I can gather you're just paying for very minor improvements that the vast majority wouldn't notice.

I purchased a MX master 2s but the product review is bringing me to this page for the original mx masterBought September 2021, still going strong as of 01-09-2024I was sick of buying gaming mice which never seemed to last beyond a year, decided to roll with one of these as a replacement to see if they would last longer, (they do!)I've bought a second one as back-up, and will probably buy another 1 or 2 more to shelve I like it so muchPros - cheap, cheerful, durable, easy to disassemble, 2 torx screws visible on the underside of the mouse, 4 more philips screws are hidden under the teflon feet, these feet can be re-used if they are pried upDecent amount of rebindable buttons, I like the side mouse buttons, and the veritical scroll wheel toggle, I did not use the horizontal scroll wheel much nor the thumb button on the rubber grip, , this thumb button defaults to windows virtual desktops but that can also be bound to something else in the logitech options+ app so it's nice to haveCons - it's definitely not as "precise" as some of the gaming mice I have used but it is not advertised for gaming, (corsair m65 line), it can still be used for all types of gaming, this would only be a problem if you're into the competitive scene in fps, For casual play and other genres it's absolutely fine, not to paint this as a huge issue mind you I play fps all the time on it but I'm a casual playerTip: the mx master 2s regularly goes on sale for 39-45 pounds, keep an eye out for a sale, I see it being listed for 60+ at current~Craig

I’m upgrading from a SteelSeries WoW Cataclysm Mouse, which was a wired MMO mouse, since I don't play games or even MMO’s anymore and it was starting to become faulty i thought i’d upgrade, and i figured i’d upgrade to a wireless mouse since the technology has come a long way in the past few years. (Included photo next to my old mouse)And oh boy it has come a very long way, i remember my first wireless mouse was a dell one, and i remember playing games on it was so bad, you could see and feel the input lag, and that mouse honestly put me off wireless peripherals forever, but I heard a lot of good stuff about the technology logitech uses in their mouses so it bought back some hope for me, and this mouse has solidified that hope in concrete because it's amazing and you honestly can’t even tell it's wireless.I got this one over the other wireless mice they have because it is more feature rich and looks more comfortable in the hand, it has a scroll wheel on the side, which to be honest would be useless for most people, but for me it helps because i draw in photoshop and it's good for scrolling sideways across the canvas, the only downside to the scroll wheel on the side is that the back and forward side buttons are in a very awkward position and difficult to press ,and they are small and close together so you find yourself hitting either the wrong one or both, now this doesn’t bother me too much as I don't use them often, but I imagine it's something you can very easily get used too.Like i said earlier, you can’t even tell it's a wireless mouse, it's so responsive and there is no lag at all, not that the human eye can see anyway, if you recorded it and put it in super slow mo then you could probably see, but if you want to play FPS games you totally can and would have no disadvantage against people playing with wired mouse.Also, I should mention the scroll wheel has two modes, and i find it hard to explain but I will try my best, one mode is like a traditional mouse wheel scroll where you keep feeling tactile bumps as you’re scrolling, and the other removes the feedback and makes it so you can spin the wheel like you’re spinning a prize wheel, it goes insanely fast, i don’t see an application where this would be useful, but I did see someone say it would be good for scrolling long word documents but you can just slick on the side where you want to be so in my opinion that wouldn’t be a very good use case, but hey ho you might find that super useful, i just don’tOverall this is just a great wireless mouse and I really recommend it, it's got a great price, the build quality is amazing, the battery life is amazing, ive been using it for 5 days now (About 8 hours a day) and it's still on full bars! And as i mentioned earlier the only downside I can see if the side buttons being small and awkward.10/10 Highly Recommended.If you found this review informative or helpful please mark it as such, I'd really appreciate it.
