Our Verdict

Logitech MX Master 2S

Logitech MX Master 3

The Logitech MX Master 3 is a slight improvement over the Logitech MX Master 2S when it comes to ergonomics. The side buttons and side scroll wheel are now easier to reach and use. However, the MX Master 3 has higher click latency than its predecessor, which is unfortunate, although most people won't notice it.
