Our Verdict

Logitech MX Master 3

Logitech M100

The Logitech MX Master 3 is a better office mouse than the Logitech M100. It has a right-handed shape and connects wirelessly with a USB receiver or Bluetooth. It has a sensor that works on glass, an adjustable CPI, side buttons, a thumb rest with gesture commands, a second scroll wheel for horizontal scrolling, and companion software. It's suitable for all grip types, but only for larger hands. On the other hand, the M100 has an ambidextrous shape and it's much lighter. It's suitable for a fingertip grip for all hand sizes and palm and claw grip for smaller hands.
