MX Master

Great mouse. Batter lasts for days of continuous use. Works great on the arm of a sofa!

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've had this month for nearly two years and use it every day at work, so this is definitely a long term review of the product rather than some reviewers who review a product as soon as they've opened the box.First up, it's up to you whether you like the styling but personally I love the bronze secondary colour of the mouse which makes it stand out compared to most mouses which use silver or grey. It's got a nice rubbery feel so feels nice in the hand and size-wise, it is a large mouse so it's very much a palm grip. To be honest, you don't even 'grip' it as such, more rest your hand on it. It's got your usual left and right mouse buttons, a vertical scroll wheel between them then next to the thumb rest is a horizontal thumb wheel, two buttons (back/forward) and the thumb rest actually clicks down as a 'gesture' button. Behind the vertical mouse wheel button is a small button which switches between ratchet and smooth scrolling.Connectivity is via the small USB 'unifying' receiver which is the same as many other Logitech mice, so if you have one already you can reuse that or use them on different computers if you plan to travel with the mouse. Alternatively you can use Bluetooth but it needs to be a specific version (I think 4?); my old laptop wouldn't connect to it but my current laptop does. You can also use a micro USB cable which is also how you charge the mouse. One nice feature of the mouse, which you may not find useful, is that you can connect the mouse to 3 different machines and switch between them via a small button on the bottom of the mouse. Pairing is as simple as holding this button down until the led indicator flashes, then it is in pairing mode.The mouse can be programmed using the Logitech Options software. The vertical mouse wheel can automatically switch between ratchet and smooth scroll mode if scrolling fast enough and the sensitivity of switch can be set in Options. Other buttons such as the back and forwards buttons, horizontal scroll and the gesture button (clicking it, or holding it down and moving the mouse in different directions) can all be customised to do different things, from basic tasks to keyboard commands. Not only this, but they can be set up to be global settings and then have specific settings for individual applications, so for example you could have the horizontal scroll button to scroll through tabs in Chrome. A lot of these things can be a bit niche but the ability to program the mouse so much is nice to have - I have a program where the horizontal scroll by default zoomed in and out, so I was able to turn it off for that specific program.The mouse has a built-in battery and as I mentioned before, charges via a micro-usb cable. The battery lasts a long time, I work 9-5 five days a week and I would estimate it needs charging once a month, if not less frequently. You get an alert on the screen to say when the battery is 'critical' (5%). I can get another day out of it until it dies and needs recharging. Charging takes very little time (an hour perhaps) and you can continue to use it while it's charging.I wanted this mouse because I wanted an ergonomic, wireless mouse and I've loved the look of the previous Logitech mouse which this is the successor of but never bought one. This mouse really has been a positive change to my working environment - I am a software developer so the automatic smooth scroll feature can help to fly through thousands of lines of code quickly. The programmability is excellent so I can get it to do certain tasks which save small amounts of time. Overall, it doesn't feel like it hinders my workflow, which a lot of cheaper mice can do. There's no poor battery life for a wireless mouse, messing about repairing because it's decided it doesn't want to connect for some reason and it barely feels like you're holding anything.

The media could not be loaded. This review is for the:Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse, Laptop/PC/Mac compatible, Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz with USB Unifying Receiver, 40 days battery life, Any Surface Laser, 5-Buttons, Amazon Exclusive- Graphite Black.After taking up gaming at the ripe old age of 56, needing something to fill the time during Lockdown III the Sequel. I decided I needed to update a lot of my equipment.Already a great fan of Logitech and having used both their mice and keyboard in the past, I decided I would purchase their gaming versions. They say you “Get what you pay for”, I have always found their products to be well built. The MX Master Wireless Mouse is no exception. The design is perfect not only for gaming, but everyday PC uses. The design of the mouse makes it a perfect fit for your hand although I think “left-Handed” people will find this version unusable due to its design. It would be good if Logitech offered a left-handed version.As for the Specs:• Multi-Device Pairing: Pair up to 3 different PC or laptop devices and easily switch between them with the touch of a button; the MX Master wireless mouse is both Bluetooth and Unifying receiver compatible• Precision and Speed: Navigate through long documents and web pages faster and easier with the adaptive scroll wheel of this ergonomic mouse, switching seamlessly from click-to-click to hyper-fast scrolling, on Windows as well as on Mac• Logitech Darkfield Tracking: Outperforms optical sensors and allows you to use this computer mouse on virtually any surface, be it shiny white or even glass• Distinctive Thumb Wheel: Experience side-to-side scrolling with a stroke of your thumb; to unlock the full range of thumb wheel possibilities of the PC mouse, remember to install Logitech options software• Enhanced Power Management: This Logitech mouse offers up to 40 days of power on a single full charge, full day of usage in only 4 minutes charge time with no downtime while recharging your cordless Bluetooth mouse• Upgrade to MX Master 3 for ultimate productivity: Scroll 1000 lines in a second, App specific profiles, USB-C rechargeable, improved thumb controls.The mouse paired immediately utilising their unified USB dongle. I have found the mouse extremely comfortable to use especially during extended gaming, the thumb grip rest nicely supporting your hand. There is also a non-slip material where your thumb sits, which aids grips and reducing stress. The mouse is extremely accurate, and reaction times are also excellent.The mouse is rechargeable and can be used whilst charging using the supplied cable. Logitech states you can get 40 days use out of a single charge. Although I have not tested this, I found the battery last for well over two weeks before even needing a charge. I prefer to charge at least once a fortnight, ensuring it is always ready when needed.It should be noted that I purchased this to be both a gaming mouse as well as an everyday mouse. Those expert gamers out there will probably prefer a dedicated gaming mouse. However, if you want a good quality gaming/normal use mouse, this one ticks all the boxes. Although it must be pointed out this is a personal opinion, and I am extremely new the “wild world” of gaming. To be honest I normally call my son to ask for his advice.Although on the expensive side, as previously mentioned to get what you pay for. In this case a quality mouse, well made from sturdy materials. Accurate and easy to use with additional programmable buttonsI hope you found this review useful (if so please take a second to click that box).
