KENSINGTON ERGONOMIC MOUSE PC

We put a desktop PC and a MacBook side by side, pressed Command+C to copy a file of the Mac, moved our cursor seamlessly onto our desktop and pressed Control+V to paste it onto the PC. To connect a device, you can use the included dongle or simply connect via Bluetooth. What’s extra cool is that this works across operating systems. You can even copy and paste files between them. Logitech Options also features Logitech Flow, which allows you to move your mouse seamlessly between connected devices.

The gesture button comes with pre-built configurations, such as one for controlling music playback, but you can also customize your setup as well as change things like pointer speed and scroll direction. For example, we made the horizontal scroll wheel change the brush size in Photoshop and swap between sheets in Microsoft Excel. You can also make app-specific configurations. Every additional button (on top of the traditional left and right clickers), as well as the horizontal scroll wheel, can be reprogrammed. Within it, you’ll find a trove of options for modification.

To take full advantage of all these extra buttons, you’ll need to download the Logitech Options application (available for Mac and PC). The latter, by default, swaps the scroll style between a smooth, fast scroll and slower line-by-line ratchet scrolling. The regular scroll wheel has a button built into it as well as a button just behind it. For example, holding this button and moving the mouse left or right allows you to swap between programs. Built right into the thumb rest is a gesture button, which, when held, will allow you to perform a variety of functions when you move the mouse at the same time. There are two additional buttons as well as a horizontal scroll wheel above the thumb rest. The wireless MX Master 3 can be connected to three different devices simultaneously, and you can swap between them with a single button. The metal scroll wheels (both vertical and horizontal) also feel solid and satisfying.Īll that comfort does not come at the expense of functionality. Only a handful of other mice we tested employed rubber on any such surfaces, and only two did as generously. The soft rubber on the thumb rest is a prime example, working its way up to the edges of the primary mouse buttons beneath your index and middle fingers, adding both comfort and additional grip. Logitech made some really good decisions with the materials used on this mouse. Regardless, our overall experience was one of unmatched clicking comfort. There is a steep slope on the right side of the mouse that provides some support but not nearly as much as is given to the thumb.

We would have liked to see similar attention given to the ring and pinky fingers. It’s made of soft rubber with gentle ribbing for comfort and traction. The left side of the MX Master smoothly dips into a flattened section upon which your entire thumb can rest. There’s more than enough room for your clicking fingers, so even the largest hands should do just fine. From there, the mouse tapers off into a gentler slope toward the primary buttons and scroll wheel. This provides a unique feeling of support lacking in the other mice we tested. From the back of the mouse begins an incline that peaks just below the base of your index and middle finger, so instead of hovering above the mouse, our primary clicking fingers relaxed on a solid structure. The MX Master sculpt provides an extraordinary fit for the hand. Logitech MX Master 3 Eric Ravenscraft/CNN Your CNN account Log in to your CNN account
