Is the Logitech MX Master 3S worth it?
Yes — the best value ergonomic mouse.
It's the previous MX Master, and it has almost the same sculpted shape, the fast MagSpeed scroll wheel, a thumb wheel, quiet clicks, about 70 days per charge and Logi Bolt or Bluetooth for three devices. The MX Master 4 adds a haptic thumb panel and a ring of shortcuts; if you don't need those, the 3S does the job for less. Like the 4, it's big for small hands.

More on the MX Master 3S
How we reached this verdict
RTINGS praised its build, shape, quiet clicks and Bolt or Bluetooth connection, noting it's big and has no receiver storage, and its 2026 ergonomic guide says the earlier MX Masters are still excellent ergonomic options, often for less. TechRadar argues the 3S is the better buy than the MX Master 4 for most people.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
