Our Verdict

Logitech MX Master 3

Logitech MX Master 3S

The Logitech MX Master 3S and the Logitech MX Master 3 are visually identical productivity mice in the same lineup. The MX Master 3S is newer and includes several improvements. It has quieter left- and right-click buttons and an upgraded sensor with a wider CPI range. It also uses Logitech's new USB BOLT Receiver, while the previous generation MX Master 3 uses Logitech's older Unifying USB Receiver.
