- *** PLEASE READ:
It’s been over a year since I uploaded but since I got so many questions I wanted to update:
Of course flicking the mouse in the air is NOT the intended use, what I tried to demonstrate is how “loose” the scroll wheel is which causes it to be very inaccurate and skip around when used normally.
Also, this mouse behaves very badly with Apple devices and I wanted to make people see that, because if you are like me, you will watch a ton of videos promoting this mouse as a great accessory to iPads for example, and that’s simply NOT the case!
Also to clarify that I of course played with the Logitech Options software settings quite a bit over time.
*If your experience is better than mine, then that just highlights Logitech has a Quality control issue as the internet is flooded with complaints for this mouse.
1. WINDOWS - on Ratchet mode it’s ok. On free spin it is not very accurate, it doesn’t register some scrolls and skips ahead.
2. MAC - On Ratchet mode it is ok. Acceptable but nothing compared to apple’s experience with the Magic Mouse or trackpad. On Free spin it is super inconsistent, skips scrolls, jumps around and simply not usable.
3. IPAD - don’t bother!
Yup same issue! Pain in the butt! I'm going to be returning it as well. It's too bad because it feels great and I love the features!
You just needed to press the scroll lock button just below the wheel, it makes the scroll wheel roll in steps instead of freely
@@Chukoki you're a G bro, I was about to return the mouse as well lmao
@@Phermo no problem bro 🙌🏾
Mine (MX Master 3 for Mac) was delivered today and scrolling issues made me return it. I could scroll up and down only when doing it very slow, any quicker movement and it will be almost completely ignored. I have tweaked all the possible settings but it definitely doesn't work well on M1 Max machine. I also didn't like how loose the scroll wheel seemed to be. It would bounce side the side when moved a bit quicker. My old wired G203 mouse works flawlessly, it scrolls, clicks and just does what mouse should do... Hopefully support for new macs will get better over time, but Logitech lost in my eyes.
I just bought this mouse and I'm really frustrated by how difficult it is to scroll up. Down is a breeze. But the bastard just does NOT want to scroll up. Probably gonna return this to Best Buy soon. Open to alternatives.
I have this mouse and this is driving me insane.
Got my mouse today and I had issues with inconsistent scrolling (specially when scrolling up in Ratchet Mode), I've searched on several videos and sites... This is what worked for me (Ratchet Mode) and now feels good enough: Smooth Scrolling=OFF, Smart Shift = OFF, and Wheel Sensivity = almost or all the way up.
The issues for me were just on ratchet mode, when i used the free spin mode with the top button it always worked fine for me
Thank you, this helped a bit (MacOS Mojave). Still a bit jerky. But overall I just love the mouse too much and dont want to return it :(
@@ImpactSpace I still have my mouse and after some time the inconsistent scrolling just stopped, and now it behaves normally. I guess it was something that "fixed itself" the more I used it
@@luiscamarillo86 I think it also got better on mine. It is useable and the mouse itself feels great. I also used SteerMouse to help me on MacOS, finetuning parameters.
how is horizontal scrolling guys? i bought today, and its pretty inconsistent
@@hthree7857 no problem with mine, the horizontal scrolling is pretty good

I bought the Mx master 3 today and immediately realized the "scroll" problem you mentioned and returned it.
I think the problem is with the MX master and anwhere 3 series:
Problem is scroll whell (magspeed (magnetic) scroll feature)
This feature is for fast page scrolling but does not work properly at all. (especially when scrolling up the page)
Probably, I will not buy MX 3 series again and will buy 2 series.
LOL, Sure it is not gesture control? ;)
I got the similar scrolling problem though I think the part where you lift and turn the entire mouse up and down to trigger the scrolling is technically not a bug. It is just angular momentum conservation. Since the wheel is heavy but almost frictionless, when you turn the mouse body forward or backward, the mouse wheel will try to stay at the same angle compared to the desk. However, since the mouse body is turning, this is equivalent to turning the wheel backward or forward.
All 5 dislikes are Logitech interns lol. I'm having the same issue and it's horrible. Can't believe they are trying to pass this off as a high-end mouse. It's $100 and made to be fixed. I'm confused why there aren't more negative reviews. I might make one myself.
Is it fixed
@@PatTurn Nooo I’m not stating , I’m asking , sorry for forgetting the question mark , i meant “Is it fixed ?”
Thought u still have it , I’m really confused which mouse should i buy theres no perfect choice with each mouse u will sacrifice an important feature
@@engimo5253 There are more bugs than what's shown in this video. Many gesture-button options are downright unfunctional on both Mac and PC. Given the actual functionality of this mouse, it's probably worth $40 at most even though its price tag is $100. There's external software you can download to create gesture buttons on any mouse that's literally more reliable than the MX Master 3.
Most of the positive reviews on this mouse are downright lazy.
@@PatTurn can you suggest me best mouse for both Comfort and productivity , I’m not a gamer , I am an architect
@@engimo5253 Personally I'm gonna go with the Razer Pro Click
bought it as well a month ago .. using both on windows high end laptop and matchbook pro .. the scrolling is so jerky and bumpy. Also very inconsistent .. at times it doesn't even register small scrolls up and down .. for 100 usd it is a rip off and definitely a big let down. I didn't return it just because I hope in a software update soon ..
Literally bought one today and this was the first issue I noticed.
Click the button just below the wheel. It seems like everyone here doesn't know the mouse is set to "free scroll" until that button is clicked. The mouse scrolls in controlled steps if it's clicked
That’s called moment of inertia.. What that means is resistance an standstill object gives when you try to move it and vice versa..
So here the scroll wheel is soo smooth that when you rotate/move your mouse moment of inertia is able to keep scroll wheel standstill to the point it can get registered as a scroll input..
I suggest enabling ratcheting mode when doing fast movements.
I was about to make an even more complicated comment than yours before i saw it.
Had that issue. Just returned it.
Just returned it back to the store today, I had the same issue.
Just wondering, are there some s3 mouses without this issue, or all of them have?
My very old very cheap mouse scrolls great, so much better than this premium mouse. Also my old mouse has battery life 1-2 years from 1 AA with the same polling rate and latency. I don't remember about charging it at all, only when it stops moving I just getting already charged accumulator from my drawer. So, I'll be waiting for 4s or smth like that.
i think it's a feature, actually. this happens because the mouse is set to freespin. if you switch it to ratchet, it will work normally. there is also an option called smartshift which lets you transition from ratchet to freespin by rolling the scroll with more power (the amount of power needed is configurable)
Fucking Logitech, I'm looking at this model after my G700s's scroll is acting up - again. This time it's the left scroll button, last time it was the scroll itself. I just can't get over how good the original G9 was, I gifted it to a friend and now I'm actually thinking of asking him to return it. It's over a decade old and only had a cable replacement a few months ago, it's just insane how much it outlived itself, it's like a person living to be a 120 years old and still healthy. It's a living testament to how better Logitech used to be. I'm completely hooked on hyperscroll and the ergonomics and the Logitech profiles so I feel stuck with them, but they just can't seem to put out a model that's as trustworthy as the old G9. I really wish I bought two back then..
the ratcheting is too light, the thumb button is in the worst place possible, overall shape of the mouse is weird.. I have no idea why would anyone use this seriously
Try to install Logi Options+ software and select "Ratchet" for scrolling mode. It should fix the issue shown in the video and the scroll wheel will start behaving as expected. At least that's what fixed it for me.
If you press the button that is just South of the scroll wheel (the rectangular button) it switches from smooth scroll to a bit of a staggered scroll. This should fix the issue.
Phew, that fixed it for me, did not know that, thanks!
thank you
thank you so much!
Oh man thanks for this!! Thought mine was faulty but it was this button. Life saver mate 👍🏻
I disabled the SmartShift setting, and set it to ratchet only, but it still spins way too much if I flick it fast - with almost no friction. I'm not sure if that's intentional, or if mine is defective, but it's completely different behaviour than my MX Master 1. I'm losing my mind over this, and I'm worried that if I return it for a replacement, it will have the same issue.
If you havent found a satisfactory solution yet, maybe you could try my settings:
Smartshitf: Off
Ratchet Mode
And have the sensitivity low. (That way you can cover a moderate distance, but not too much, if you flick it fast)
Dropped mine now it does the same before that it was perfect
I just bought this piece of dog shit mouse last night and I am having the same issue. Saw thousands of people complaining about the same issue. I am returning this to Worst Buy tomorrow.
Returned this mouse for this specific issue, really disappointed, going back to my good old g pro
But... That's the point of this mouse?! If you want to "lock" the scroll wheel, there is a button right underneath it. It's not that hard to miss.
Have you tried clicking the scroll lock button just below the scroll wheel??
this is the solution to the issue they
You can get 2s mod it with the silent switches and core pad skates it will feel 2x better
Have the same issue with 2 different MX Master 3 (grey and black one)... No fix I found...
But I keep on with it... 🙂
yeah this mouse scroll wheel is a big disappointment for me for such a high end mouse. does anyone have any alternative with similar features but better scrolling wheel? pls don't suggest apple magic mouse as it's simply too small and very uncomfortable to hold on to
I didn't find too much issues with mine (Or at least I wasn't bothered by it). The wheel spinning itself, in my opinion is a byproduct of free spinning feature. so you can't really complain. If you just got a bearing (or fidget spinner) and waved it back and forth expecting it not the spin at all, that's not going to happen.
As for the scrolling experience, I didn't necessarily experience any inconsistencies throughout day to day use. Although if scroll back and forth on ratchet mode on one notch. I guess you can notice a bit of an inconsistency like the timing is like a millisecond off at times, but even then you really have to look for it, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed at all. No one actually uses a mouse like that either, so I personally wouldn't see it as an issue.
But what I did find when using on mac was that even though I didn't notice inconsistencies, the experience was really choppy. This had nothing to do with the mouse itself however, from my understanding apple only allows smooth scrolling on it's own apple mouse's, so it explains why. I've had an poor experience with another mouse cheap wireless mouse, so I know it's not just my mouse. Logitech inbuilt smooth scrolling is pretty bad, so I just install another extension called MOS, which allows you to fine tune your scrolling speed, solving my issues.
Overall I really enjoyed the mouse, the haptic feedback from the metal scroll wheel is so satisfying, and the free spin is also fun to play with. Programmable buttons are pretty useful when you are working on a large display as I've programmed it to go back and forth though pages so I don't have to reach up every time I want to go back a webpage. High DPI mouse also provides a much better experience if you have a 4k display.
Is your x3 still working fine ?
Should I go for 2s??
@@inclinedscorpio The mouse works fine aside from the fact that there is a purring sound when scrolling at high speeds. I've exchanged my mouse and my second one is the exact same. If it does bother you then maybe go with the 2s although I never owned one before so I can't speak for that. Good luck!
@@jesselam5867 by that purring sound - is there some functionality which is failing or some user experience which is downgraded or is it just that sound ?
@@inclinedscorpio Nope functionality wise no issues at all doesn't affect it. Just makes a noise when it "presumably" shouldn't. You can look it up on CZcams to see recordings of it, it's pretty common. I have read one person who said that they didn't have any noise at all so you might get lucky but at the same time given how common it is, don't expect a completely silent mouse either.
@@jesselam5867 thanks man, ordered it after confirming it's not an issue.
I am fine with sound if productivity isn't compromised 😀
Turn of smooth scrolling in the logitech option software - that fixed it for me.
thank you so much
Is this solution still working?
@@tokolaguitarra worked for me just now. Thanks Jeffrey!
Not working for me on MacOS Mojave. Scrolling still not perfect. Sometimes going the wrong direction. Annoying.
Never install that crappy software... Software is almost always the reason why these kind of issues arise. When you just use the mouse without any software BS installed it works fine.
I found the scrolling to be sooo annoying with my MAC. In ratchet mode, it scrolls too few lines but in free spin mode, it automatically scrolls a few line above or below even when you don't touch it. Currently I am tinkering around to try to find a solution that works (I just got mine recently)
Scrolling is awful, worse than a 5$ mouse.
I had the same issue with the scroll -- at times it just scroll horizontally by slightest movement of my finger, maybe just a hint of touch of the wheel, and yes, a simple shake of the mouse in the air would cause left and right scroll. I played with the options, and it did not help. Absolutely not recommend it.
Did you manage to get this fixed? Is it a configuration issue? I've also always experienced really bad scrolling behaviour.
The button just below the wheel is a scroll lock. That's what you were looking for
Same issue for me. Gonan return it too. Disabling Smooth Scrolling didnt help me either with the incosistency.
Guys! Should I get 2s or mx 3 or should I just use a basic one ? As a developer I am looking for a good one.
I swear to God Logitech does this on purpose, because there aren't many alternatives to their mice. They're big, sturdy and have great scrolls when they work, unfortunately since MX Performance quality has only been getting worse.
I have the same issue with this mouse. Both mac and windows. This would be my favourite mouse ever if it weren’t for this error. Do not buy it.
Thanks, I have encountered the same issues with my Logitech MX Master 3. there is no way in order to mitigate this problem. So I would like to immediately throw this trash mouse into the bin.
There is no CZcamsr in the world mentioning this issue when they review the MX Master 3 mouse. I opine that they absolutely tell lies.
There is though... The button just beside the scroll wheel changes the scroll speed. You can increase or decrease the amount of spin at will
Same issue
this is happen to my mx anywhere 3 too, anything we can do about it?
Mine does the same. Returning it while I still can.
Just don't dance the Swan Lake Ballet with your mouse and you should be fine
That would help 😂
Except that no, the scrolling wheel is inconsistent under normal use, in either ratchet or free spin mode. Read the description
Coming from the roccat tyon to mx3 ...and have noticed that after one minute. Have exactly the same behaviour. Like its the main function which is not working proper. You cant fix that in SW. Tried everything. Goes back. Stick to tyon which is just superb compared to thjs
My mx master 3S just arrived today and had this exact same issues with the scroll. Skips lines and really reallyyy struggles to scroll up. So disappointing, I literally put it back in the box and returned it after 20 mins of trying to toggle all the settings but no luck. What mouse to buy next?!!?!?! I'm using an m1 macbook pro
Whoa. This is a big Public Service Announcement. Do you happen to know if these issues exist the same way while using the USB dongle? I wonder if there is a way to get around it by avoiding Bluetooth
Had this issue with my first gen MX Master, the wheel would scroll by itself when moving the mouse, and it was way worst when using the Unifying receiver versus Bluetooth, probably because the higher polling rate of the former made it more sensitive, at first I thought it was a Windows versus macOS issue
I didn't bother getting it replaced because most of the time my finger was resting on the wheel, but Logitech has good warranty support on things like this, I had a G700 that wouldn't track on all surfaces and they sent a replacement without me having to return or destroy the broken one
The MX Master 3 I just bought (probably manufactured this year) doesn't have any wheel issues
Wheel in 2s series is better and tacktile. Mag speed wheel is glitchy and feels cheap compared to mechanical classic scrollwheel.
Nahh I have two of them and they work without a single issue. It's something wrong with your drivers etc... The best mouse ever made for me personally. A lot of my friends have it and never heard a single complain, so it's probably up to your drivers/pc or it might be manufacturing error in one batch of items. Gd
I mean I hear you but it will obviously be loose anough for the wheel to move a bit while you flick the mouse, it's in infinite scroll mode (never in my life have I needed to do this but w/e). Also Logitech would've simply replaced your mouse of the scrolling issues proved to be a product malfunction and not just you being a brickhead mac user that can't deal with literally any piece of hardware that isn't already fine-tuned out of the box. These mices only reach their full potential once you configure them. It's literally one of the main reasons to even buy an over $10 mouse, honestly.
Seems like each & every mouse of Logitech is marred with scroll wheel issue. I have owned two M330 and two G102 mouse of Logitech and all 4 mouse have suffered with erratic scroll-wheel problem within 6months of purchase. I thought of playing a bet on yet another Logitech mouse but this Vertical too is having the same issue. No more Logitech. Can anyone tell if Corsair or Razer mouse too have this scroll-wheel issue??
Thats not an issue, is a feature. You have a button behind the wheel to "break" that move. And... who uses the mouse in the air that way?..
I explained it further in the description. You could have saved your time commenting…
i don't have that problem, did you ask for a guarantee?
That’s why I swap for MX Master 2S which has not this wheel issue. I wonder if Logitech fixed it now on Master 3.
still no, problem persists
Does it work better with the usb dongle it came with? Any solutions so far?
i had the same problem so i return to the store
having the same issue, got trapped by the reviewers. god damnit! can't return it either, no fix yet...
Click the button just below the scroll wheel bro
same issue on mx master 2s
That's the laser hitting the wall acting like a mouse pad. Mine does it too when I pick it up. Totally normal
is this issue still going ?
Wondering if the MX master 2s has the same issues with the scrolling? I’m thinking about getting the 2s if its more reliable
it does not, only the 3
Problem with the MX Master 2s was for me that the gesture controll went defective over the years and was always pressed which made the whole mouse not work. Had to pry it open so that the gesture Button is unstuck. Cant turn off the gesture Button, that does not help.
@@buddyir765 u gotta untighten the screw where the gesture buttons are.. open the mouse and it shall fix it.
just got a master 3S - hope they fixed this issue!
did they ?
@@user-ti1vy1rj6b nah lol it still scrolls really loosely when it’s in free scroll mode. Guess it’s part of the design
@@aces8481 it's fucking annoying.. only issue i have with this mouse is the scroll wheel.. Sometimes you shouldnt fix what isn't broken.
For everyone who has "scroling problem". Solution (for me) is really simple. Just push the minibutton which is next to scrooling wheel.
why is this garbage ass mouse so popular? I cant download 3rd party apps to fix this in my work PC.
???? the discovery of the law of inertia .. the function of the mouse is not affected by your waving, because this is not how you work with the mouse
Mine was bought a week ago. I had the same scrolling issues as shown here: czcams.com/video/gfIDI1qiurc/video.html
I'm waiting for a replacement, just to check if it was a failing unit or a crappy product.
I got a replacement unit and although it is definitely more precise, if you try and scroll up and down like the video you linked it will still skip commands. Especially in free spin mode, but not so much in ratchet mode as you have to move through the notches to register the commands. I think it's just the design of this mouse using the new magnetic wheel, some people won't have a problem with that - I'm kind of getting used to it but maybe that is something that will bother you
@@toms_tech Thanks you sharing! I'll check by myself. Meanwhile, I keep using my 8-yo $25 mouse, which scrolls perfectly 😜
Thank God it's a Mac issue, because no one cares.
i have in windows
I have that on mac and win
