Mag Speed adaptive scroll-wheel

The speed-adaptive scroll wheel shifts between two scrolling modes automatically. As you scroll faster, it will automatically shift from line-by- line scrolling to free-spinning.

• Hyper-fast (free-spin) mode — near-frictionless spinning, letting you fly through long documents and web pages.

Switch modes manually

You can also manually switch between modes by pressing the mode shift button.

By default, mode shift is assigned to the button on top of the mouse.
In the Logitech Options+ Software, you can decide to disable smart-shift if you prefer to stay in a single scrolling mode and always shift manually. You can also adjust the smartshift sensitivity, which will change the speed required to automatically shift into free spinning.

Gesture Button

Install Logitech Options + software to enable gestures.

Darkfield 8000 DPI sensor

Install Logitech Options+ software to enable the new capabilities of the Darkfield 8000 DPI  Sensor

Enabling this option will allow you to work faster and more precisely, allowing you to adjust the pointer speed to match high resolution monitors.

App-Specific Settings

Your mouse buttons can be assigned to perform different functions for different applications. For instance, you can assign the thumb wheel to do horizontal scrolling in Microsoft Excel and zoom in Microsoft PowerPoint.
When installing Logitech options+ , you will have the possibility to install predefined app specific settings that will adapt the mouse button behavior to be optimized in selected applications.

Here are the app specific settings we have created for you:

| 1| 2| 3

Browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari)| Open link in a new tab| Switch between tabs| Back / Forward
Microsoft Excel| Pan (Hold and move the mouse)| Horizontal scroll| Undo / Redo
Microsoft Word| Pan (Hold and move the mouse)| Zoom| Undo / Redo

With these settings, the Gesture button and the wheel mode-shift button are keeping the same functionality across all applications.
Each of these settings can be customized manually, for any application.
