**MagSpeed adaptive scroll-wheel with

SmartShift 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.

Line-by-line (ratchet) mode — ideal for precise navigation of items and lists.
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. Mode

By default, mode shift is assigned to the button on top of the mouse.

In Logitech Options software, you can decide to disable SmartShift if you prefer to stay in one 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.

Horizontal Scroll

Scroll

You can scroll horizontally with your MX Anywhere 3!
This is done with a two-button combination: Press and hold one of the side buttons and scroll with the wheel simultaneously.

NOTE: The horizontal scroll is ON by default in your Logitech Options software. You can customize this feature in the Point & Scroll tab in Logitech Options.
For more detailed information on Horizontal scroll, click here.

Back/Forward buttons

The back and forward buttons enhance navigation and simplify tasks. Button

To move back and forward:

Press the back or forward button to navigate web or document pages, depending on the location of the mouse pointer.

NOTE: On a Mac, enabling the back/forward buttons requires installation of Logitech Options software.
In addition to enabling the buttons for use with Macs, Logitech Options software lets you assign other useful functions to the buttons, including undo/redo, OS navigation, volume up/down, and more.

App-Specific Settings

Your mouse buttons can be assigned to perform different functions for different applications. For instance, you can assign the side buttons to control volume in Spotify, copy/paste in Microsoft Excel, or undo/redo in Adobe Photoshop.
When you install Logitech options, you can install predefined app-specific settings that will adapt the mouse button behavior to the selected applications.
Here are the app-specific settings we have created for you:

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

Adjust the feel of the scroll wheel

When you scroll in Ratchet mode, you can adjust the feel of your scroll wheel on the “Point & Scroll” tab in Logitech Options.

A lower force will make the ratchet very subtle and smooth.
A higher force will make every ratchet very firm and precise.

Assign gestures to the top button

If you want more advanced functionality, you can assign the top button of the mouse to be the “Gesture Button”. This will transform your top button into a powerful multi-function button allowing you to use gestures for desktop navigation, app management, pan, zoom, and more.
On the Mouse tab, select the top button below the wheel and click on Gesture Button.

By default, the gesture buttons will allow you to navigate between windows and desktops.

In order to perform the gestures, you will need to hold the button while you move the mouse.

Flow between two computers

You can work on multiple computers with a single MX Anywhere 3.
With Logitech Flow, you can use the mouse cursor to move from one computer to the next. You can even copy and paste between computers, and if you have a compatible Logitech keyboard, such as MX Keys, the keyboard will follow the mouse and switch computers at the same time.

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

FAQS

What is the Darkfield 4000DPI sensor?

Darkfield technology allows the sensor to track on almost any surface, including glass and transparent surfaces, such as a monitor or laptop.

What is the Mode shift button for the scroll wheel?

The Mode shift button allows you to shift between line-by-line scrolling and free spinning of the scroll wheel.

What is the Easy-Switch and connect button?

The Easy-Switch button allows you to switch between devices with a single click. The connect button allows you to pair your mouse with a second computer.

How do I pair my mouse with a second computer?

To pair your mouse with a second computer, hold down the Easy-Switch button for three seconds until the number 1 LED blinks twice. Then, on the second computer, open Bluetooth settings and search for new devices. Once found, click on MX Anywhere 3 to connect.

Is this available as a left-hand version?

Studies have shown that even though 10% of people are left-handed, only 1% of people actually use a mouse left-handed. The companies that have done high-end left-handed versions have said that it doesn’t make them any money.

Any scrolling issues/bugs with mx master 3 mouse?

No… In fact, scrolling is VERY satisfiying

What’s the difference between logitech mx master 3 vs logitech mx master 3 business edition? apart from price (higher for business edition) and color

Suggest googling that one. Higher price could mean the thumb rest pad pushable extra button may have additional features to the normal Mx master 3 where it’s best suited for business I.e the thumb rest pad button could open other software functions that is also programmable for business function. Or it could be a colour difference. Not sure

Is it responsive scrolling downwards but stutters when scrolling upwards? or is mine defective? (have tried different setting and disabling smartshift

No, it does both, there is a button near the wheel that switches off the incremental action (stutter), but if you scroll fast by spinning the wheel fast it will scroll (responsive) without the incrementalal judder and when it slows down locks back up the incremental element. It is almost like a clutch which can be switched on and off. This is by far the best nice I’ve used in 30 years. Great for large spreadsheets or long web pages. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

When is the white master 3 gonna come back?

It ain’t

Can you use ordinary batteries in this and if so what is battery life?

No, you cannot use ordinary batteries in it – the battery is inbuilt and needs to be charged on its special base.
Battery life depends on usage but I get about a week before recharging.
Its a great mouse.

Logitech option software does not work on macos 12. any solution?

Well my mac mini is running Monterey which is 12.0.1 and the Logi Options AP seems to be working just tried reassigning Hoz Scroll to Zoom and it worked. Apple softwear sometimes grabs control of peripherals in System Preferences it all depends how you set things up.

Does this still come with Adobe? Date has expired

No, it doesn’t – but it is a great mouse.

Is the usb receiver for the logitech mx master 3 usb-c?

No the receiver is not usb-c it is a standard usb connection

Does this mouse work with wireless charging?

No

Is the mouse click silent?

Pretty much. You can hear a quiet click but it’s certainly not annoying or intrusive. Great mouse all round. Expensive but never regretted buying it.

Will this mx3 be able to work with a logi k480 keyboard (which is connected via USB)

This mouse uses the unifying reciever which a small usb stick. If your keyboard doesn’t use one then no it won’t work. It will work with unifying software on it’s own and it does come with the dongle but that would then take up a usb slot plus the keyboard.

is there a battery life indicator?

The battery level can be checked via the companion app (that also manages the settings) or via Windows/settings/devices.
The led indicators on the left side are on only when the mouse is charging and are not really accurate.

How can you justify charging £117 for this mouse when the RRP is £99?

Great that you have a choice where to shop!
