With the software installed, you can quite literally copy-paste files between devices! I found this to be particularly useful because unlike normal human beings, I tend to use a Windows desktop and MacBook Pro simultaneously while working and I need to transfer footage and images quite often.

This device to device transition will happen whether you’re on PC or Mac.Īnd that’s still not all. You can literally drag your mouse from one device to another as easily as you’d drag the mouse from one screen to another in a multi-monitor set-up.
#LOGITECH MX MASTER 2S FOR GAMING INSTALL#
If you install the Logitech Options software on all your devices, you can connect to all devices simultaneously. This is pretty straightforward and normal in a wireless mouse, but even here, the Master 2S has an ace up its sleeve. There’s an indicator at the bottom to let you know which device you’re connected to and switching between devices only requires you to press a little button. The lack of dongle-housing aside, the mouse connects easily and seamlessly with your devices. The term 'fits like a glove' needs revision. This massive mouse has no housing for said dongle and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost lost it because there was no place to mount it. In fact, my one gripe with this mouse is that USB dongle. If you want a permanent free-wheeling mode, you can also press a button and have it switch.īeing a wireless mouse, the MX Master 2S can connect to three devices simultaneously via Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi via the included USB dongle. In fact, it’s now a feature I’d rather not live without. The sheer ergonomic brilliance of this design can’t be overstated.įor someone, like me, who spends the bulk of his day scrolling through websites and editing massive excel sheets, this is a game-changer. On the MX Master 2S, you simply flick the wheel with a bit of force to engage free-wheeling or scroll normally at any other time. I’ve used several mice with free-wheeling before, including my current favourite gaming mouse, Logitech’s G502 Proteus Core, but all these mice required me to push a button to switch modes. In free-wheeling mode, you can flick the wheel and it will continue to scroll until it’s drained of inertia. In ratcheted mode, the wheel behaves normally, moving only when you move it. That’s what free-wheeling does, except that it happens with a scroll wheel, via a mouse.
Imagine how backwards it would seem if the page would only scroll when your thumb was on it. What’s free-wheeling? Think of it this way, if you flick through a long list on your phone, the page will scroll with the inertia of your flick. Speaking of buttons, a feature that I never though I’d need is the free-wheeling scroll wheel. The MX Master is one of the most ergonomic mice I've ever tested. And while the mouse is rather large and heavy, it fits so snugly and responds so fluidly that you never notice the bulk.īesides the usual two buttons and scroll wheel, you get a thumb wheel, back and forward buttons, a mode shift button and even a ‘Gesture button’ that sits under your thumb. Fingers and palm just naturally mould themselves to its contours. If you’re a right-handed person, as most of you are, the mouse fits as naturally in the hand as you can expect a metal and plastic pointing device to fit. The thing with this mouse is that it’s sculpted to perfection. This is a mouse that makes me want to make like Golem and huddle up in some dark cave, away from greedy eyes and needy fingers. I carry it with me everywhere I go, swatting away the greasy hands of “friends” as they reach out to stroke this beauty. I can’t remember the last time I saw a product and went “Oooh! I want!” When I first tried the Logitech MX Master 2S, that was exactly my first reaction.
