Still, even when an overzealous nudge sent me racing down a page, all it took was a finger-tap on the wheel to stop it in its tracks.
Without the click-and-bump tactile feedback I’d become accustomed to from more conventional mice, it felt like things could reel out of control quickly. In this “free spin” mode, scrolling is virtually frictionless and silent. I found this speedier scrolling came in handy for everything from searching through multi-page documents to scanning social media feeds. The MX Master 3 was designed with comfort and customizability in mind. One flick of the wheel can scroll through 1,000 lines in one second, says Logitech, which should put a smile on the faces of coders and anyone who has ever worked with a voluminous spreadsheet. In lay terms, it means you can switch from measured line-by-line scrolling to blazing through pages just by spinning with more force. The machined-steel wheel employs what Logitech calls MagSpeed Electromagnetic scrolling. Let’s start with the redesigned scroll wheel. The MX Master 3 takes its design cues from the MX Master 2s, but make no mistake-under the hood this is a far different mouse. The MX Master 3, in particular, raises the bar, transforming the mouse from a simple input device to a multi-function tool that can dramatically enhance productivity.
