There is a version for Mac, which is $119, is there any difference or just marketing
You lose the usb receiver, and instead of a usb c to usb a cable, you get usb c to usb c cable, iirc.
Hmm, so this is a deal then. I think feature/functionality is the same. Can it be configured to left hand person? Looking at the picture I think it can. But did a research it seems it doesn't.
You'll lose the two buttons on the side, but otherwise you can customise the buttons to whatever.
@codinghelloworld: I have an MX2 Master, and bought the Anywhere 2 specifically when I had an injury to right arm. Absolutely configurable for left, and the side buttons were still quite usable once I got used to it. I don't think the 3 would be any different
you can buy replacement receivers on Aliexpress
Uhh.. I don't mean lose by lost it, but its not included with the package because its assumed you'll connect via bluetooth.
"Is there any difference or just marketing", we talking about Apple or the mouse haha?
It looks like a "refresh" of the 2S version (with USB-C instead of microUSB for charging) and the colour makes a difference for the price on the 3. You can see them all at this search link
I own both. IMO, the 3 is worth it over the 2S.
I always hated the wheel click changing scroll mode on the 2S. The middle button is the small button behind on the 2S. The 3 brings back the wheel being a middle click.
The scroll wheel is much improved on the 3 which is now machined steel and to me, seems like much better quality.
The USB-C connector is a nice addition as well.
Damm, the placement of the 2S middle button is gold to me, it works so well; much prefer the toggle of scroll lock/release only on the wheel. Such a pity that middel mouse click is so difficult behind the wheel, same problem with the G903. If you regularly use middle click as I do and without remapping buttons, that is a real problem.
For me, 90% of the functionality of the Master range (I have several 2s') comes from remapping the buttons differently for individual programs.
Why else would you pay $100+ for what would otherwise be a normal, if slightly larger than average, mouse?
Does the 3 still have the button behind the wheel? You're just saying they've switched the mapping of the buttons from the 2s to the 3, but they're all still 're-mappable'?

Quality and longevity?
@magic8ballgag: I've had my fair share of duds from Logitech, going back generations - dud built-in batteries, sticking gesture buttons, broken ratchets, failing lasers - all well known faults.
To your point, they have always been very efficient in fulfilling warranty claims.
But many of the Chinese models and name brand rip-offs are just as well made. The biggest difference lies in the software; Rapoo's stuff is an ugly, buggy mess but their mice are tanks.
Windows updates breaking the Logi Options software for the better part of a year, showed me just how much I rely on remapped buttons. Refreshing browsers, pause/play media players, switching virtual desktops, copy/paste gestures, countless in-game buttons….all saving 1000's of 'mouse-miles' and wrist strain.
It's the only reason I keep throwing money at them over the years.
I'd advise anyone who hasn't already, to install and have a play around with Logitech Options. It's pretty straightforward and you can map the buttons differently for each individual application.
@reductive: You've had some pretty bad luck by the sounds of it. I've got a Logitech MX Revolution that still functions and have been using Logitech mice and keyboards for well over 2 decades now (since around 1997) and I've never had a single dud. I've had so much longevity out of their products I even bought multiple versions of their K750 solar keyboard (2x Mac and 1x Windows) so I didn't need to transport them back and forth to work each day and I could use the same keyboard at all times.
I'm using the Mac version of the MX Keys and the MX Master 3 now, and as much as I love the K750, the productivity efficiencies gained from the MX Keys far outweighs my desire for the familiar feel of the solar keyboard I had been using for 8 years.
@KangaDrew: Ha, or you've had pretty good luck!
I think my MX Revolution is still sat in it's cradle at the back of the wardrobe, what a beast that thing was. Then the MX Performance upped the game by ditching the cradle - I think it was the first to have the 'darkfield' laser or whatever they tagged it, too.
Like you, I bought into the K750 solar when it came out, my first one stopped recharging within the first few months, but Logitech dutifully sent me a replacement…and that one lasted 5 years without a hiccup until it got nicked.
I haven't kept up with their keyboards lately, though I've gone through a fair few of the Master iterations (and gifted some to family).
Logitech seems to be pretty good at catching the bugs/design flaws within the first few months of release of a new product, and then issuing a new version or variation, fixing the most common complaints. Good business strategy, I reckon.
I'm certainly not bashing Logitech or their products, I just find it odd that many people who buy these things don't know about a huge part of their functionality, but still fell satisfied with their $100+ purchase. I guess the name is old and trusted and if it works, it works.
Could I ask, since you have a fair bit of hands on experience, do you feel the MX Master 3 is a 'proper' upgrade from the 2s? Are their any quirks with the 3 that would make you advise holding off until the "4x", or whatever it will be?
@reductive: Mice that don't track well on all types of surfaces can be a pain, the right tech works everywhere (seemingly). That's a good reason in itself.
is the middle mouse a button on the new version?
Hey OP,
The USB receiver is not USB C, it's a standard unifying receiver. AFAIK, Logitech do not currently make a USB C receiver.
Changed, thanks!
Nice username!
hate the 9.95 shipping ruins the deal and if you use paypal you get charged 1.00 bank transaction fee
Just price match at officeworks then.
Good idea, you think JB works as well?
Don’t buy the white colour. I have the anytime 2s version of this from a few years back, and a lot of it has faded. The white has darkened as well. Can’t clean it off.
3 hours and OOS already. Great, now even the mice aren't safe!
This looks like a nice (smaller) alternative to the other MX mouse, nice price too. Need to look into but wish it was dark grey / graphite
