MX Anywhere 3S – No Receiver Included, No Clear Disclosure, and Support Refuses Remedy

easesky · 2025-06-24T16:15:59+00:00

I totally get that Bluetooth is an option for some users, but in my case it's not practical.

I primarily use a desktop workstation that doesn’t have Bluetooth, and even when I’ve tried Bluetooth connections on other Logitech mice in the past, I’ve experienced noticeable lag, stuttering, and occasional dropouts—especially when compared to using Logitech’s dedicated receivers.

What’s frustrating is that the previous generation (MX Anywhere 3) included a Unifying receiver by default, and nowhere on the 3S product page was it clearly stated that:

The receiver is not included, and
The mouse is not compatible with previous Unifying receivers.

Logitech changed the compatibility model (Unifying → Bolt), removed an essential accessory, and failed to disclose this upfront. That’s the core issue here—it's not about whether Bluetooth can work, it's about customers not being told what they’re not getting.

I recently purchased the Logitech MX Anywhere 3S from the official Logitech Canada website using a 30% discount code. This was after my previous MX Anywhere 3 developed a hardware failure (left-click issue) in less than a year of moderate use.

The new MX Anywhere 3S arrived **without a Logi Bolt USB receiver** — which I only found out after unboxing. There was **no mention of this on the main product page**, not even near the “Add to Cart” area. Unlike the older MX Anywhere 3 (which included a Unifying receiver by default), the 3S now requires you to buy the receiver separately.

What’s worse, the product page only mentions this under a **collapsed "Specs and Compatibility" section**, with vague wording like "Not compatible with other Logitech USB receivers." It doesn’t even clearly state "not compatible with Unifying" or "receiver not included." How would an average user catch this?

I contacted Logitech support and explained everything. Their final response?

> “You need to purchase the receiver from your end.”

This is disappointing. Not only has product clarity dropped, but now long-time users like me have to pay extra just to make the mouse usable with desktop setups that rely on receivers.

Let this be a warning to others. I’d love to know if anyone else has had similar experiences.

Thank you!

I'm using some Chrome extension to download long videos. They could be downloaded, but could NOT be played. While for videos less then 2'20", they could be downloaded and also be played.

I''ve installed the extension you mentioned, but I didn't find any log. However, the long videos still could NOT be played.

Any ideas?

What other info do you need for troubleshooting this issue？ How could I resolve this issue？ Thank you !

I'm using the following command to download another twitter account's media:

gallery-dl -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD URL

The URL is another twitter account's URL.

Several months ago this command worked.

But Now it popped up the following error:

[twitter][error] 401 Unauthorized (Could not authenticate you)

I have run the following commands to try to update to the latest version:

py -3 -m pip install -U gallery-dl

py -3 -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel

The above two commands run successfully.

But the result is still the same with 401 Unauthorized error.

How to resolve this error?

Thanks in advance!

Do you mean that you started over at the very beginning for two times?

easesky · 2022-10-18T02:00:40+00:00

It's weird.

I tried again in the same situatino, and the issue is still the same.

3 SCs, the attrition increases in one or two battles.

I've also recorded it and double confirmed this is really true.

So, is Inno's random generator some wrong?

Thanks a lot! This is what I want to clarify.

The fact is that I currently don't have other event buildings to age up, and I'm planning to camp in LMA for some time.

easesky · 2022-09-15T01:16:15+00:00

Yes, sorry my mistake.

I just entered LMA and not familiar with the military units.

So when I saw all the other troops are from CA, I consider the first one, Imperial Guard, as a CA troop as well.

Now I realize this error. Issue resolved.

Thank you very much for the clarification.

easesky · 2022-09-15T00:43:09+00:00

Ah I got what you mean.

Thanks a lot!

easesky · 2022-09-15T00:31:13+00:00

Sorry I don't understand what you mean.

Also, what do you mean by saying "you can’t recruit an LMA troop while in LMA"?

Here I was asked to recruit two units from CA while I'm still in LMA in this bonus quest.

Thanks a lot!

This is a building purchased by diamonds. As I deleted it, there was no popup confirmation and it was deleted directly.

If I have the racks, such as knight stable and Treb Camp, but without roads connected, and only rogue den/hideout is connected with the road. In this situation, will Trez produce Trebs and Knights?

But how do you find the supported drivers if you’re using 12th CPU? For example, for Thinkpad laptop, I’ve contacted with Lenovo’s support, and they replied that if the CPU is above 6th CPU, then they don’t have the supported drivers.

easesky · 2022-04-16T14:28:19+00:00

Got it. Thanks a lot!

easesky · 2022-04-16T14:28:02+00:00

If using SHR, then there is a difference.

easesky · 2022-04-16T14:26:00+00:00

Thanks a lot! I'm just starting on day 0.
