Logitech MX Master 3 alternative

Rensin · 4 Sep 2022 at 15:21

I've been having problems with my MX Master 3 for a while and have decided to move to another mouse so are there any similar to the MX 3?

Problems I'm having is constant lag (both bluetooth & unifying receiver) cursor will jump all over the screen from slight movements.

I have the buttons configured for different applications so would prefer to keep similar setup.

I've tried older drivers ect, connecting the unifying USB dongle directly to motherboard aswell as a USB extension cable on my desk (10cm or so in front of the mouse)

cheers

I had this issue with an old mx master, everything seems to point to it being the battery that was the probable cause, even though I was running it with the charging cable plugged in the battery was completely dead and caused issues.

New MX Master 3 on the same dongle doesn't have the issues....

If you do want an alternative I've always had good experience with Microsoft Mice.

Logitech G903?

Get a 2S. I think it's a better design (although lets face it, they're virtually identical) and almost half the price.

Never had any issues with mine.

I have a feeling my problem might be interference, thought it may be my access point but disabling it made no difference.

I tried the mouse upstairs on my HTPC and all works perfectly well.

Would the new BOLT adapter make a difference?

Really late replying on this so you might have actually got it sorted by now...

I started having issues with my new mx3 master (after my earlier comment about no issues) and it turns out (after a lot of searching) that usb 3 interferes with most wireless dongles using 2.4ghz bands, including logitech (good old usb group...). Fix is stick adapter on the end of a short usb cable.

As for bolt dongle, no idea but the short usb cables has fixed it for me.
