The MX Master 3S is still on sale at Logitech's US store, and for many office workers it covers almost everything the newer MX Master 4 does. It has the same contoured right-handed shape, a thumb wheel for horizontal scrolling, a gesture button and a MagSpeed electromagnetic wheel that Logitech rates at 1,000 lines per second. Logitech says its Quiet Clicks cut click sound by 90% compared with the MX Master 3, and the Darkfield sensor tracks on glass that is at least 4 mm thick from 200 to 8,000 DPI. Logi Options+ adds ready-made button profiles for Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Teams, Zoom, Chrome and Adobe apps. What you give up versus the MX Master 4 is the haptic panel and the Actions Ring. The listing we checked was the Bluetooth Edition at $89.99, down from $99.99, and at 141 g it is still a desk mouse rather than a travel one.
