MagSpeed adaptive scroll-wheel The speed-adaptive scroll wheel shifts between two scrolling modes automatically. As you scroll faster, it will automatically shift from line-by-line scrolling to free-spinning.
- Line-by-line (ratchet) mode — ideal for precise navigation of items and lists.
- Hyper-fast (free-spin) mode — near-frictionless spinning, letting you fly through long documents and web pages.
Switch modes manually You can also manually switch between modes by pressing the mode shift button. By default, mode shift is assigned to the button on top of the mouse. Use the Logitech Options Software, to disable SmartShift if you prefer to stay in a single scrolling mode and shift manually. You can also adjust the SmartShift sensitivity, which will change the speed required to automatically shift into free spinning.

- Adjust thumbwheel scrolling speed, and direction
- Enable app-specific settings for the thumbwheel: o Zoom in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint o Adjust brush size in Adobe Photoshop o Navigate your timeline in Adobe Premiere Pro o Switch between tabs in the browser o Adjust volume o Assign custom keystrokes to the wheel rotation (up and down)

App-Specific Settings Your mouse buttons can be assigned to perform different functions for different applications. For example, you can assign the thumb wheel to do horizontal scrolling in Microsoft Excel and zoom in Microsoft PowerPoint. With Logitech Options, you can install predefined app-specific settings that adapt the mouse button behavior to be optimized in selected applications. The following app-specific settings have been created for you:
1 | 2 | 3 | |
Default settings | Middle Button | Horizontal scroll | Back / Forward |
Browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari) | Open link in a new tab | Switch between tabs | Back / Forward |
Microsoft Excel | Pan (Hold and move the mouse) | Horizontal scroll | Undo / Redo |
Microsoft Word | Pan (Hold and move the mouse) | Zoom | Undo / Redo |
Microsoft PowerPoint | Pan (Hold and move the mouse) | Zoom | Undo / Redo |

Adobe Premiere Pro | Pan (Hold and move the mouse) | Horizontal timeline navigation | Undo / Redo |

With these settings, the Gesture button and the wheel mode-shift button are keeping the same functionality across all applications. Each of these settings can be customized manually, for any application. Flow With Logitech Flow, you can work on multiple computers with a single MX Master 3. You can use the mouse cursor to move from one computer to the next.

You will need to install Logitech Options software on both computers and follow these instructions.
