Our Verdict
Logitech MX Master 3
Keychron M6
The Logitech MX Master 3 and Keychron M6 are wireless mice with similar ergonomic-style shapes. The Logitech is purely designed for productivity use. It has noticeably better build quality and materials. It also has a gesture button on the thumb, and its scroll wheel can automatically switch between notched and free-scrolling modes, while you need to toggle between scrolling modes on the Keychron with a button. That said, the Keychron is significantly lighter and has much better sensor and click latency performance, making it a much better choice for a hybrid mix of productivity and gaming.
