Anybody with logitech mx master 3 mouse and a mac?

No, why do you ask?

I do

I’d like to ask, how is the scrolling? I’m a new mac user and I have a regular logitech gaming mouse where the scrollwheel has steps, and it bugs the hell out of me how it behaves in macos. If I only do 1 scroll wheel step, containers scroll like 1mm or something, basically useless.

So, does the mx master behave differently with the free wheel? Is it like trackpad scrolling since no steps? I love the trackpad scroll physics

[efemoney]

Its bad. I had to change my settings. Let me pull up a screenshot

Try these (https://www.logitech.com/en-us/software/logi-options-plus.html)

Yea so you use the smooth scroll? i.e. when you scroll slowly the container moves “in sync” with your finger? or does it somehow jump to match the new scroll position of the wheel after a step like on my regular mouse?..ugh hard to explain

[efemoney]

Yeah I use smooth scrolling (thats why I posted my settings). I know exactly the effect youre talking about cos it annoyed me too. Just download the options+ app and update the settings to mine as a starting point. Then you can tweak from there.

[efemoney]

This is the relevant one

I see but I thought the jump+match behaviour is a function of a ratchet wheel, and free wheel should inherently be more like trackpad, no?

[efemoney]

That part is based on preference. I prefer the smooth one vs the ratchet one. I like that the mouse supports both

[ursus]

well I used to be rather guy because it works normally on windows, guess I’ll have to switch for mac because the physics is way different

thanks!

[efemoney]

If you play around with the settings you can probably settle on something that feels like what you had on windows. I’ve been used to the trackpad for a while so I tried to replicate the same.
