MagSpeed adaptive scroll-wheel with SmartShift

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.

In Logitech Options software, you can decide to disable SmartShift if you prefer to stay in one scrolling mode and always shift manually. You can also adjust the SmartShift sensitivity, which will change the speed required to automatically shift into free spinning.

Horizontal Scroll

You can scroll horizontally with your MX Anywhere 3!This is done with a two-button combination: Press and hold one of the side buttons and scroll with the wheel simultaneously.

NOTE: The horizontal scroll is ON by default in your Logitech Options software. You can customize this feature in the Point & Scroll tab in Logitech Options.

For more detailed information on Horizontal scroll, click here.

Back/Forward buttons

The back and forward buttons enhance navigation and simplify tasks

To move back and forward:

  • Press the back or forward button to navigate web or document pages, depending on the location of the mouse pointer.

NOTE: On a Mac, enabling the back/forward buttons requires installation of Logitech Options software.

In addition to enabling the buttons for use with Macs, Logitech Options software lets you assign other useful functions to the buttons, including undo/redo, OS navigation, volume up/down, and more

App-Specific Settings

Your mouse buttons can be assigned to perform different functions for different applications. For instance, you can assign the side buttons to control volume in Spotify, copy/paste in Microsoft Excel, or undo/redo in Adobe Photoshop.

When you install Logitech options, you can install predefined app-specific settings that will adapt the mouse button behavior to the selected applications.

Here are the app-specific settings we have created for you:

  1 2  
Default settings Middle Button Back Forward
Browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari) Open link in a new tab Back Forward
Zoom Middle Button Mute / Unmute Microphone Start/Stop Video
Microsoft Excel Pan(Hold and move the mouse) Undo Redo
Microsoft Word Pan(Hold and move the mouse) Undo Redo
Microsoft PowerPoint Pan(Hold and move the mouse) Undo Redo
Adobe Photoshop Pan(Hold and move the mouse) Undo Redo
Adobe Premiere Pro Pan(Hold and move the mouse) Undo Redo
Apple Final Cut Pro Pan(Hold and move the mouse) Undo Redo

With these settings, the wheel mode-shift button retains the same functionality across all applications.

Each of these settings can be customized manually, for any application.

Adjust the feel of the scroll wheel

When you scroll in Ratchet mode, you can adjust the feel of your scroll wheel on the “Point & Scroll” tab in Logitech Options.

  • A lower force will make the ratchet very subtle and smooth.
  • A higher force will make every ratchet very firm and precise.

Assign gestures to the top button

If you want more advanced functionality, you can assign the top button of the mouse to be the “Gesture Button”. This will transform your top button into a powerful multi function button allowing you to use gestures for desktop navigation, app management, pan, zoom, and more.

On the Mouse tab, select the top button below the wheel and click on Gesture Button.

By default, the gesture buttons will allow you to navigate between windows and desktops.

In order to perform the gestures, you will need to hold the button while you move the mouse.

Flow between two computers

You can work on multiple computers with a single MX Anywhere 3.

With Logitech Flow, you can use the mouse cursor to move from one computer to the next. You can even copy and paste between computers, and if you have a compatible Logitech keyboard, such as MX Keys, the keyboard will follow the mouse and switch computers at the same time.

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

Charging MX Anywhere 3

  • Connect one end of the provided charging cable to the USB-C port on the mouse and the other end to a USB power source.

A minimum of a three-minute charge gives you enough power for a full day of use. Depending on how you use the mouse, a full charge can last up to 70 days*. * Battery life may vary depending on user and operating conditions.

Check Battery Status

The LED on the top of the mouse indicates battery status.

You can install Logitech Options software to receive battery status notifications, including low charge warnings.

Can I switch my mouse and keyboard at the same time using one Easy-Switch button?

It is not possible to use one Easy-Switch button to at the same time change both your mouse and keyboard to a different computer/device.We do understand that this is a feature that a lot of customers would like. If you are switching between Apple macOS and/or Microsoft Windows computers, we offer Flow. Flow allows you to control multiple computers with a Flow-enabled mouse. Flow automatically switches between computers by moving your cursor to the edge of the screen, and the keyboard follows.In other cases where Flow is not applicable, one Easy-Switch button for both mouse and keyboard might look like a simple answer. However, we cannot guarantee this solution at the moment, as it is not easy to implement.

MX Anywhere 3 wheel makes a ticking noise when switching between applications

If you have different wheel force settings for Chrome versus All Applications or Excel, then you will hear the wheel reset the force every time you go from one app to the next. This happens when you have enabled the App-specific settings for the Point & Scroll tab for a specific app.To remove the noise, disable Application specific settings and restore the defaults.

Wheel noise when scrolling with MX Anywhere 3

The MX Anywhere 3 MagSpeed wheel should be very quiet. But when you scroll in ratchet mode, it’s possible that your wheel generates a little bit of noise.
