I’ve used the mouse extensively since I received it and have charged it once, so assuming it came from the factory with a roughly 50% charge, that all adds up.
Logitech claims the mouse will last 70 days on a full charge and functions for three hours following a one-minute fast charge. The battery also factors into the mouse’s practicality. No fiddling with Bluetooth pairing click through to the correct channel, and it’s go time.
This is great if, like me, there’s a PC you work on at home and a laptop you use on the road. Users can then switch between the three at the press of a button. It’s pretty standard on Logitech mice and keyboards these days but still worth a mention as it allows users to pair up to three devices simultaneously. Then there’s the mouse’s three-channel function. Nope, it was fine, maybe not 100% as smooth as it was on a desk, but definitely usable. My logic was the reflective surface might interfere with its optics. I even tried to confuse the MX Master 3S using it on a mirror. I even placed it on top of my head, and while I had a bit of directional confusion, the mouse was fine. It will track on glass, which is impressive in itself, but beyond that, I haven’t managed to find a solid surface it struggles on. In terms of tracking, which is the main thing I look for in a mouse, the MX Master 3S has me beat. The high DPI has allowed me to perform photo editing tasks and play video games without a problem. This exact setup has given lesser mice so much trouble I just stopped bothering with them, but the MX Master 3S has not had a single issue. During the testing period, the mouse spent most of the time on the arm of my sofa, which is about eight inches wide but rounded, so in reality, it has around two inches of usable surface. The mouse’s high DPI and tracking technology mean you can comfortably use it on any solid surface you can think of.
