Default settings	Middle Button	Horizontal scroll	Back / Forward

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. Flow With Logitech Flow, you can work on multiple computers with a single MX Master 3. You can use the mouse cursor to move from one computer to the next.

You will need to install Logitech Options software on both computers and follow these instructions.

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.
