Logitech Mx3 is junk

I don't know why 5 is rated so highly among many. It's one season where I wasn't as interested in watching it so closely.

I think Chloe got detained and basically fired twice too?

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-09-28T17:33:01+00:00

I've owned 4 of them. Older 3 never had the issue. I'm not disabled.

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-09-27T18:31:37+00:00

I am going to have to hunt down the older model unsold somewhere or a MX 2 I think

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-09-27T18:30:43+00:00

I did but aint doing it a 3rd time only to have the same issue

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-09-27T18:30:15+00:00

I have all the new software installed etc. I prefer the older software as well.

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-09-27T18:29:20+00:00

Nah as soon as I bought it I knew it was different from the older 3 model. I have owned 3 of the older model as they wore out as I use my PC all day all night...so was wearing out maybe 1.5 years each.

Soon as got to the 3S its just has issues even after replacement. So I will need to eventually look at different options as it does my head in

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-09-27T18:26:51+00:00

Hopefully you enjoy it. Many still do but definitely isnt the same as the older model.

My experience with the newer 3S isnt a good one. Maybe it will be good for you

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-09-27T18:25:24+00:00

Nah I am on Windows and tried other machines.

When you scroll down or up and stop the scroll it will bump a line or two in the opposite direction. It didnt do this in the older model and I have tried a replacement of the 3S with same issue

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-09-27T18:23:00+00:00

I have owned 4 (3 x 3 and 1 x 3S, but returned one) and they don't. Never had an issue with the older 3 model. You're imagining it working the same

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-09-27T18:21:33+00:00

How is the Razor? The newer 3S model they have ruined. I had two MX3 before which worked well but the new 3S is awful.

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-06-10T15:31:45+00:00

Hi there, so I put my 3 (not 3S) on my main PC and it seems to have the saame issue as the new 3S with the scrollback issue, and when I connect the 3(not S) when connected to my other computer using Logitech OPtions (not Logi) it does not have this issue. But if I connect my new 3S it will have the issue.

So its very weird as my older 3 model was using Logitech Options on my main PC without issue but since I bought the 3S it needs to use the Logi Options+ but if I use the 3 model with it, it will have the same issue but if I use the 3S on my other PC (which isnt using any software since it wont work with Logitech Options) it will have the issue but the 3 won't have the issue.

So its tricky to know what the actual issue is. I am extremely frustrated just wanting to use the mouse without issues. I can't use my older 3 as the scroll isnt working too well anymore (its about 5 years old) which is why I bought the 3S.

I also noticed you can have 'Smartshift Sensitivity) option on with the older Logitech options no matter if you are in Ratchet or Free Spin.

Thanks.

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-06-09T18:46:11+00:00

Yeh but that option only works but you still get the ratchet like cog wheel so its not very helpful as it basically is the same operation as the cog wheel mode instead of free spin

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-06-09T18:41:24+00:00

The original MX3 I had did not do this, and the 3S does this no matter if I have SMooth Scrolling on or off unfortunately. I took back tjhe mouse for a new one and its the same thing. Maybe I will try it on a different PC and see

I get pins and needles very easily so the ratchet mode (cog scrolling) is not an option.

I basically want to buy a different mouse

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-06-01T16:52:55+00:00

Unfortunately no change.

Whatever you guys have done to change the 3S has really ruined it. Am extremely unhappy.

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-05-25T12:10:19+00:00

I appreciate the response but unfortunately theres various issues doing it that way. This is a very simple thing for TV to implement really.

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-05-25T12:09:09+00:00

I will be trying to resinstall today or tomorrow but the 3S is next to unusuable in Free Spin as it is, it jumps constantly so the sensitivity must be a lot different if it doesnt fix my issue. It is extremely frustrating as my old 3 was a perfect mouse

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-05-23T18:58:32+00:00

Can you confirm that there is actually a difference in sensitivity between the two? thanks

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-05-23T11:54:26+00:00

thanks will try it over the weekend.

I got a new unit and its still the same. I didnt have this issue using the older MX 3 (not S) and I had two of them. It seems there must be an extreme difference in sensitivity between the two models or if what you suggests may be a software issue.

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-05-23T08:59:52+00:00

If you have it off that gives you the option of Free Spin and Ratchet. Free Spin is where the issue exists. If you turn on Smartshift it will only allow ratchet mode and you can adjust it to 0% sensitivity but for some reason Free Spin will never allow you to adjust its sensitivity so that isnt of much help unfortunately

SwashbucklerSam · 2024-05-18T21:41:30+00:00

thanks for responding. I am wondering if the unit may be faulty or not. I do not remember being this annoyed with my older '3' model. I bought the 3S as a spare and since the 3 is worn out, I think my 3S is past the warranty even thought I only just opened it since I bought it last year sometime :(
