Our Verdict
Logitech MX Master 3
Logitech MX ERGO
The Logitech MX Master 3 is slightly better overall than the Logitech MX ERGO, but they have different designs. The Master 3 is a traditional mouse with a sensor. It also has a thumb rest, a wider CPI range, a more precisely adjustable CPI, and has a horizontal scroll wheel. On the other hand, the ERGO is a trackball mouse with a pinky rest.
