#12Also worthy to note that Logitech has decent macOS support.

#13I hope they bring some of the newer improvements and more of the MX Master features to the MX Vertical. I've found that I really appreciate the different ergonomics of a vertical mouse, but I do miss my side wheel and unlocking scroll
I really love the MX vertical mouse. The scroll wheel is the only current bummer for me as well.

#14For those interested, Logitech recently resurrected [1] their most famous mouse. The MX518. At least I was able to now buy it from retailers in Europe :) I love it. Could never get used to the more bulk Logitech mice such as the one in OP. [1] https://www.techpowerup.com/review/logitech-g-mx518/
I still have a pair of G5 mice that I use at home and work. It’s good to see Logitech bringing back that design! Other than the MX Master 2S I carry around for mobile use, I’ve never had a mouse fit my grubby paws do perfectly.
Other than a cable replacement and a switch cleaning, both of those original G5’s are still perfectly operational after over a decade of regular use.

#15Downside of such complicated mice with fancy circuit boards is that you can have issues like my s2 had, where the thumb button got stuck. This somehow caused a software lock, rendering the rest of the mouse unoperational; a nice 90$ paperweight. I don't mistreat my electronics either, it was not dropped or anything like that. This sort of stuff should not happen on such an expensive mouse. Coincidentally it happened 2 months after the warranty expired.

The new mx518 is not as good as the old one. It required some software that did not work properly on macs.

#17I have an MX master and now own two triathlons. I love them because one AA battery lasts months, it's bluetooth or can use the receiver which the mouse can store inside of it, and it supports three devices. All for $25. I pair it to my iPad and use it or at work for 8 hours straight. Definitely check it out since it's basically a baby MX master without the thumb scroll.

#18Look at that beautiful replaceable battery :)
My Logitech G700s has a AA NiMH battery in an easily replaceable door, no need to open the mouse. The battery still charges over USB if you have the mouse wired, and switches to wireless when that's unplugged. I like it a lot, if you run the battery down you can just pop a new one in and put the dead one in the charger. But I assume the one they're using here gives them higher capacity, so it's a trade-off.
I don't think it's just the capacity but the power efficiency.
G700s has a really low run time, something like a week per charge as a heavy user.
The MX 2S can go about 2 months between chargers and the 3 should have an even better run time.

#19Does the 3rd version fix the polling issues these mice have over Bluetooth? Using the receiver works fine, but over Bluetooth it feels very laggy and jerky to use. They don't offer a USB-C receiver yet.
Here is what it looks like to draw a circle using each protocol: https://imgur.com/a/RP2oLcn

#20Does anybody know of any MX Master 3 modding forums or other resources?
The firmware and electronics in these things are fine, but these mice are one size fits none. In my case: way too small. I probably need one that's 2 times the size + preferably vertical.
I was thinking of doing a mod where I convert an MX Master 3 to a much larger MX vertical type thing. Shouldn't be too hard, but if I can think of this someone probably already did it. Right?
