How to install Logitech MX Master 3S Mouse

Setting up the MX Master 3S on your Mac or iPad is quick and straightforward. Begin by ensuring your device is ready to pair via Bluetooth or by using the included wireless receiver if your setup supports it. For best results, connect with a recent macOS or iPadOS version and install the official Logi Options+ software to unlock full customization and multi-device features. Once you’re ready to pair, turn on the mouse, press the Easy-Switch button to enter pairing mode, and select a free channel on your device. If you are using macOS, you’ll often see a prompt to complete the pairing in System Preferences, and you can grant the necessary permissions for Flow and keyboard shortcuts within Logi Options+. After the initial pairing, you can map the buttons to specific tasks, set up application-specific shortcuts, and configure the thumb wheel or gesture controls to suit your workflows. If you travel with multiple Apple devices, simply switch the mouse to your preferred device using the Easy-Switch button, and the device will appear in your system’s Bluetooth settings for a quick re-connect.

• Step 1: Ensure your Mac or iPad has Bluetooth enabled and is ready to pair. If you prefer the USB wireless receiver, plug it into your computer’s USB-A or USB-C adapter as needed.
• Step 2: Turn on the MX Master 3S and press the Easy-Switch button to place it in pairing mode. On your Mac or iPad, select the mouse from the list of available Bluetooth devices or from the Logitech receiver options.
• Step 3: Install Logi Options+ from the official Logitech download page or the App Store if available. Open the application and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the setup and grant necessary permissions for accessibility, keyboard, and gesture control.
• Step 4: Customize buttons, gestures, and app-specific shortcuts. Create profiles for your most-used apps (e.g., Final Cut Pro, Photoshop, Xcode) to streamline workflows and reduce repetitive tasks.
• Step 5: Save your settings and test the two-device or three-device switching. Make a few edits in a photo or video project to ensure the scroll wheel, buttons, and track sensitivity meet your expectations. If needed, adjust the DPI level and gesture sensitivity within Logi Options+ for precise control.
