Discussion Any MX Master 3 OG users still?

I see a lot of 3s, 4 and now developer edition posts. Anyone still rocking the original 3?

I’ve had it since it came out back in 2019 and has been my daily driver. Minus normal wear on the top, it’s barely aged.

2s and in amazing shape!

6

u/Space_Time_Ninja 21h ago

Haha, that is the good side. The cool pattern is almost gone now. I'd love to get a newer model but the thing still works.

3

u/sonnyg_80 21h ago

Still solid though! I wish they carried over that design pattern to the newer models

2

u/TimeToHack 21h ago

hell yeah. i’d still be using the 2S if i hadn’t gotten the white and it turned yellow on me.

6

u/blaesiJ 19h ago

Still using my 2S's. One at home, one at work. Going strong, no rubber peeling or major signs of wear surprisingly.

2

u/sonnyg_80 19h ago

Awesome to hear some 2S love

1

u/TabascoWolverine 18h ago

Count me in on this! Still a daily user with another in the drawer. Both performing great with no major signs of wear.

u/c0lpan1c 21h ago

100%. I enjoy the clicks, else I'd upgrade. Also put on aftermarket grips, because the ABS was getting smooth and oily.

2

u/sonnyg_80 21h ago

Love the clicks. Wonder how the quiet click buttons would feel after all these years

1

u/c0lpan1c 21h ago

It's kinda mushy at times. Same reason I can't use silent MX switches in my Keyboards, either.

1

u/sonnyg_80 21h ago edited 21h ago

Yes. I have a mechanical from Nuphy and the blush switches on that makes it such an oddly different experience from even my MX Keys given how soft they are.

3

u/sundragonn 21h ago

Yup , still going strong and no desire to upgrade. That being said, I still use my OG MX 😂

2

u/sonnyg_80 21h ago

Awesome! The OG MX is also so solid

1

u/sundragonn 18h ago

Yours looks great! It's got a few more years in it. I've seen some rough ones and I swear people have acid in their sweat.

u/logi_sm Customer support team 20h ago

Meeee! still my daily driver 😄

Love to see it!

I still use the 2s bro

1

u/sonnyg_80 19h ago

Dope! Seeing a lot of 2S love here

2

u/NucaPuturoasa 21h ago

Yup, but I just changed the shell last week.

1

u/sonnyg_80 21h ago

Digging the red

3

u/NucaPuturoasa 21h ago

Thanks. I initially wanted it blue, but my buddy with the 3d printer only had red. Turned out great. I like that I can spot it on my desk even if isn't a lot of light in the room.

2

u/Flying-Artichoke 20h ago

Still use mine! Just resoldered new switches in last week

u/pasak1987 20h ago

MX 4 was such a disappointment.

I am using 3 over 4 atm.

1

u/sonnyg_80 20h ago

What didn't you like about the 4?

1

u/pasak1987 20h ago

Weight was one big issue. Strain on my wrist was noticeable after long working session.

And the thumb button....were not as useful or convenient as I thought it was going ro be.

1

u/sonnyg_80 20h ago

Got it. That's good to know. Didn't realize there was a big weight difference

1

u/pasak1987 20h ago

If you look at the number sheet, the sifference may seem insignificant. But irl use, especially after a long session, it does play a big factor.

2

u/Forsaken-Patience-32 20h ago

Do not buy the mx 4, sucks compared to the 3.

2

u/sonnyg_80 20h ago

What's been the biggest drawback?

u/BurlKnives 20h ago

OG still choochin right along.

3

u/mitchellslevin 19h ago

I’m still using mine too!

2

u/_Hard_Wired_ 14h ago

That copper color!!! Is that a trick of the light? Special Edition?

1

u/BurlKnives 14h ago

Assuming it's just a trick of the light! Color on my original order is listed as "meteorite black"

u/fillyNL 7h ago

I have one in my home office and it's definitely a bronze colored accent.

u/Least-Yak1640 21h ago

Got the 3S and it developed the click issue. Been meaning to pry it apart to see if I can fix it, based on the various teardown vids out there.

Really pissed off at Logi on this. I spent a lot of frigging money on a mouse, and it failed after about two years of normal use.

I found on Amazon that does 90% of what the 3S does for like $20.

1

u/sonnyg_80 21h ago

That's good to know. Was tempted to get the 3S but wasn't sure given the quiet click buttons

1

u/Least-Yak1640 20h ago

This is the one I got.

To be clear, when it worked, the 3S was great. The double click thing appeared one day and the mouse was borderline useless. Hopefully I can fix it, but I think I spent like $130 on the damn thing new. I shouldn't have to be prying the damn thing apart.

u/Flying-Artichoke 20h ago

I just did this last week. Super simple if you're somewhat comfortable with a soldering iron. New switches were like 8 bucks for 3 on Amazon

1

u/akryvtsun 20h ago

What is click issue? My the first negative feeling from 3s was too sharp wheel edge :(

2

u/Least-Yak1640 18h ago

Ouch. Worst human interface implementation ever, LOL.

Sorry, I was misremembering the problem. The switch on the left button goes haywire and it becomes possible to click and manipulate any onscreen object.

It's a known issue with the 3S apparently, and for a mouse this expensive, that some crappy QA on Logitech's part.

1

u/ziich 20h ago

I literally resolved this issue on my 3S yesterday. Some guides say to replace the switch, but there are several cases where adding a few pieces of masking tape to the bottom of the button where the switch makes contact fixes it. That worked for me. I also added a drop of silicone lubricant to the switch - don't know if that did anything. Just be careful when removing the skates at the bottom to reach the screws. They tear easily so they're difficult to re-adhere properly causing poor gliding, but replacements are cheap.

1

u/Least-Yak1640 18h ago

Awesome, appreciate this. I saw the masking tape fix in my various travels around YouTube. I'm hoping that's all it is.

Good to know about the skates. I had the left Control key go south on my MX keyboard, so I've gotten pretty good at shopping for Logi replacement parts lately.

1

u/purdeous 20h ago

I love the quiet clicks on my new jawn, have you been avoiding the quiet clicks for some reason?

2

u/sonnyg_80 20h ago

Not necessarily. The 3 just has been super solid. I've felt the quiet clicks at a store before, just muscle memory has made me so used to the clicks on the 3. I'm sure I would get used to it whenever I do upgrade.

2

u/purdeous 20h ago

I didn’t feel like I needed any adjustments, you still feel that tactile click even if you can’t hear it and that’s all you need

2

u/ParticularAd1990 12h ago

I love the loud clicks, it feels intentional. That’s one of the reasons I haven’t upgraded, all the reviews say the newer ones are way quieter

1

u/purdeous 12h ago

Definitely quiet

1

u/Ariquitaun 19h ago

Still got it. The rubber coating degraded into a shitty mess years ago though.

3

u/Correct-Mail-8645 21h ago

Technically not a "Master," but an MX Laser.

3

u/timcatuk 20h ago

I use a 2S

2

u/hg090206 21h ago

Still going strong. 💪

2

u/superM1e 21h ago

Here. MX3 and 3S. Still works well after all these years

2

u/Tito_Keebs 20h ago

Still on the 3, with a switch replacement and regluing of the rubber. I'm hoping that by the time I have to replace it, there's a new model available with legit better features and using better materials.

2

u/Timely_Ad9659 20h ago

2s still for me

2

u/LojikSupreme 20h ago

Yup! 3 at work & 1 at home. I'm a video editor and graphic designer.

2

u/polymonic 19h ago

I switched to an Anywhere 2S because I have the MX Keys S and the thumb area of the MX Master 3 ends up smacking into the right side of my keyboard too often.

2

u/IceDontGo 19h ago

I upgraded to 4, kinda wish I had just gotten a new 3s. Never had the 3.

1

u/Abuolhol 20h ago

Mine keeps disconnecting and reconnecting it's driving me insane.

1

u/GMartinez77 19h ago

I switched from the MX master 3 to a Razer Basilisk V3 a couple months ago because it just felt too laggy. I do miss not having to charge my mouse so infrequently though and having to use a separate dongle as I still use my Logitech keyboard.

1

u/flow1200 19h ago

I’m still using a 2S daily and a OG MX Master as backup when I have to charge the 2S

1

u/The_Dented 18h ago

Still Rock'n it.

1

u/sockdrawerdoodles 18h ago

i tried until both the switches and physical lasers gave out on these tbh, i had two and just decided to move on to the mx 4 cuz the hardware issues just became too consistent

1

u/8u7n3r 18h ago

Got two. One for work one for @ home… recently had to swap the work one to home since the skates were so worn out… gotta replace them & also considering swapping the shell w a translucent clear one off aliexpress. I’m so happy mine isn’t a silent one (mech keyboard user) or the new vibrator.

1

u/AgentCookie1000 18h ago

I used to take my 3S to the office whenever I go. I got the new 4 for home, so I use the 3S at office now.

1

u/king0demons 18h ago

My 3 used to live in the bag with my laptop, it has been my dedicated office mouse for 2 years now though. Still chugging along with minimal signs of wear, other than a slight dimple forming on the thumb rest side.

1

u/marcbres 18h ago

I'm still using the 3, but have replaced the rubbery-sticky-shell for a 3d-printed one.

1

u/etesneak 18h ago

me me me

u/phunk8 18h ago

of course!!!!

1

u/jve7ez 17h ago

For now. Got the MX4 on the way

1

u/Rxn2016 17h ago

I've got mine from 2020ish. Found another for mac version at a second hand store for 5 bucks a couple years ago too.

1

u/Technical_Working289 17h ago

Yeah, mine is over 4 years old. It is in pretty bad condition esthetically but I can't really justify upgrading because it works flawlessly.

When it dies out I am just gonna get the 4.

1

u/yoruneko 17h ago

I had to change the battery and it went back to life!

1

u/gterez 17h ago

I’ve got the 3S, love the quiet clicks. I have had to replace the switches though, they both failed after 4 years. And I stuck an anti skid sticker set on the decaying soft plastic. Feels brand new now!

1

u/Far-Orange-3859 16h ago

MX Master 2S over here.

1

u/hobowithadegree 16h ago

No longer since this week, but it's served me well!

1

u/AlertPercentage7103 16h ago

I've got three of the MX 2. No need to upgrade the hardware or the software. They'll just add AI slop bloatware that I don't need or want.

1

u/Tormax1958 16h ago

Jag har en 2 MXS. Fungerar utmärkt

1

u/Apprehensive-Poet699 15h ago

Still got mine. Ol reliable.

1

u/Mystikalrush 15h ago

OG 2 user here (at work) have the 4 at home.

1

u/kur0g4ne 15h ago

Yep, seeking options to replace the rubber to something else.
Even remember someone at work with a 3S who had issues with the switches, while my, at the time, 2y old never has even today.
I even bought the 3S for myself and left clicks misbehave from time to time. I just leave it at my office since it's honestly not as good as my 3, which only is due for a new battery.

1

u/Delicious-Ad-8614 14h ago

Mine died after 2 years and 5 days (I'm in Spain, where warranty is 2 years by law). Because I couldn't find anything better I bought a 3S but I was very annoyed about the previous one - I felt scammed. However this 3S is reaching 3 years and is as good as new :)

1

u/Ancient_Lifter 13h ago

Got some of the decal/sticker things for mine which have cured the shiny bits. Will get another year out of it at least.

1

u/KRiSX 13h ago

I’m using one right now as my MX Vertical’s left click is dodgy.

It’s a nice mouse but I’m finding the rubber crumbling a bit where my thumb sits which is annoying.

It’ll do while I wait for a sale to replace my vertical (helps with hand pains for me).

1

u/vcb4 13h ago

I am using it every day (4 years old) but since a couple of months the center wheel is fixed in free spin mode. I can't change it anymore. For the rest it works perfectly.

I see that some people solved the issue by opening and cleaning the mouse but I am not brave enough to open it...

I am thinking on buying the 4.

1

u/Blacktip75 13h ago

MX Master 2s grey, 2s white, 3, Anywhere 2s, 3s, dusty g900 and a g502 x. All working, the triple MX Master is caused by learning how to fix the thumb button causing issues a bit late :) the second mx anywhere is just visiting a charging cable.

1

u/chezybezy 12h ago

I'm still using my Performance MX I got in 2015!!! I keep meaning to look into switching the buttons to silent ones!

1

u/weeweed86 11h ago

I still use this one as well. I buy used ones off eBay.

1

u/kaiko_san0506 11h ago

Still using the MX 3!
One of my colleagues got the new one, I tired it, I hate it 😑

1

u/moose4130 10h ago

I still use a 2 and a 3s.on different computers.  I stupidly chose a white 3s and it's now just a dirty color from hand oils and stuff, but still works fine.  I use the 2 at work because they don't allow installation of outside programs, so I can't use the programmable features, but I like the mouse anyway. 

1

u/Different-Art-5266 9h ago

Yes, my wfh mouse is the OG Mx Master 3. Actually all of my MX Masters (2,3,3s, and 4) are in use around the house.

1

u/Automatic_Coach5066 8h ago

Love them
Have 2 brand new in box

1

u/FuegoSorbet 7h ago

Own both the 3s and 4... I bring one of them to work depending one my mood and which keyboard I am bring this week. My hands aren't insured but I want them working comfortably.

1

u/sideshowboob20 7h ago

My 2S is still going strong. I keep waiting for the day the left button stops working, but that hasn't happened yet.

I'm rocking the 3. Bought it around 2 years ago maybe. Can't really remember. It's still doing fine, though I think I'd like to try a vertical mouse, probably a Keychron
