Debating whether to get MX Master 3 or Ergo? Anyone had experience with both?
I would not recommend the MX Master if you use a 1-3-1 claw grip. I find that the mouse is way too large, heavy, and it just cramps my hand. It kind of feels cheaply put together too, I wouldn't buy it for $100 or $80. It's worth maybe more like $30-40 in terms of build quality.
Haven't used the MX Ergo but my M570 trackball failed just right outside of warranty. The left mouse button developed a double clicking issue and will release itself when I hold it down. It was a fairly common problem on those trackballs. There are many fixes on YouTube but I actually stopped using a trackball because it also caused my thumb to cramp from daily use.
Both mice are not really ergonomic, but Logitech just spends a lot of money on marketing and influencing "journalists" to make people believe that they're some super ergo equipment that you just have to have. There are no scientific studies that show that these are better for your hands or wrists, though it probably makes most people feel good enough about their decision. Think of it as virtue signalling for ergonomics.
They also managed to spend enough money to make most people think that they make quality products when they have some of the worst quality control that I have had the misfortune to experience. I would say as high as half of all the Logitech products I've owned have a manufacturing defect or failed in under 2 years.
Great keyboard and the MX Mouse is the best mouse for most people. Had it since it came out last year and it's been a something I do not leave my home with. The Keyboard has the perfect weight and it senses when your are about to touch, making the lights come on. Both amazing products tbh. Don't let the guy above tell your otherwise.

I have the mouse and the most annoying feature is that the 'switch device' button is in the bottom of the mouse. So I have to flip it evertime I have to switch machines.. Logitech support said that there is no other way to map the other buttons. Logitech has the trialthon mouse which at $38 is better because the switch is right behind the wheel.
I was thinking about getting the ergo but I bougt my mouse on eBay for the 82 but cannot return it.

Hate that the button is on the bottom of all the Master mice! I keep reading that supposedly with Flow you can map the mouse to switchover with the keyboard physical button at the same time but for the life of me I can't get it to work.
Does anyone think that this keyboard will go on sale for any cheaper with Black Friday coming up quickly?! I've seen a deal similar to this bounce on and off for the last few weeks and just trying to decide if I should go ahead and pull the trigger or wait for a potentially better deal coming up here in a few weeks..

i have this mouse and the keyboard from this deal. The button being on the bottom is kind of awkward but I now kind of like it there as I don't accidentally trigger a button push. I do this way too often on the keyboard as the switch device key is pretty close to the backspace button.
As for flow, it was easy to set up but I hated it. There sometimes was lag when it switches between devices and seemed a bit buggy.
I dont know what OS you're using but if you're on windows, try mouse without borders. It's basically the same thing as flow but it's a lot cleaner and there's less bloat in the software. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d...x?id=35460
For Mac usage, does anyone use the "Standard" MXKeys model over the Mac specific model?
It's a shame they don't make a black Mac version.
I wish Apple made their own wireless illuminated keyboard, I like their layout better. And maybe they would fill in the hollow bottom of the keyboard in with batteries since it is wasted space anyway...and weight is part of the design.

It's possible. I've been following this too and I don't remember seeing any deals on it for Prime Day sales, so not sure how likely anything will come up on Black Friday. I'm probably going to wait and see.

All the thumbs down you are receiving can eat it. This is a well thought out and written statement. Thank you for educating us shoppers about this
Love my MX Keys keyboard. I returned the Master 3 mouse because I found it large and didn't feel it was worth $80. Picked up the MX720 mouse during the Costco $20 deal. It does have the switch device on top. Matches the MX Keys in design, too.
Does anyone know of another current $20 off $100 code? I want to spend over $200. There were multiple such codes last week.
I'm hoping to see that too. Also, it looks like this coupon isn't working on the Seagate 10tb hubs (good external to shuck, got two IronWolf Pros that way).
