A mouse this expensive begs the question, what do I get for that? Well, you get the best scroll wheel ever invented … and a bunch of gimmicks that are hit and miss.

While the Sculpt mouse can be found for around $25, the MX Master costs four times as much at $100. This quality comes at a price – literally. The design is very angular, and I come down on that design as more ugly than not, and if it weren’t for the reserved coloring, it would be more evocative of a 1980’s Toyota Supra than a piece of modern technology. This is much more convenient than keeping a collection of rechargeable AA batteries handy. The MX Master has an integrated battery which charges via USB. The buttons are generally crisp and the whole thing feels expensive. Any place your palm or thumb rests on the mouse is wrapped in a soft touch, grippy material and conforms to the contour of the hand. The MX Master is definitely a dedicated desktop mouse and it feels great in the hand. It’s positively enormous compared to the Sculpt Comfort which is just barely large enough to be a full sized mouse. Upon touching the mouse, it’s apparent that this thing is in a completely different league from Microsoft’s mouse. So how does the MX Master stack up? It’s a mixed bag. I immediately ordered one, and I’ve been using it for a while. Shortly after I bought that mouse, Logitech announced the MX Master bluetooth mouse. Finally, the mouse’s most glaring flaw is that it takes some serious hacks and tinkering to make the special button work on the Mac.īut even with those qualifications, it was the best mouse available. Also, the Windows touch side button / swipe surface, while functional, is a bit gimmicky. While the mouse was large enough, it was smaller than I would have liked. Sorry the ranting part was toward apple.A while back, I compared the Apple Magic Mouse and the Microsoft Sculpt Comfort mouse and declared that the Microsoft mouse was currently the best bluetooth mouse available for the Mac. The event listener shows my back button on the mouse as button 4, but I can not make this button 4 to do anything usefull (I want it to be Back Button in the browser)Ĭan someone for the sake of god help me ? how the heck Apple fan boys call this stupid opreating system an operating system at all ? any version of linux as old as ubuntu 6.04 supports all the features of my mouse that was built after it the linux was released.Īfter buying a few crap app on app store to make it work and trying diff version of karabara that was meant to only solve this issue, nothing is fixed. I have tried different versions of karabniner, and karabiner element, I do NOT undrestand this, how come all the features of my mouse and keyboard work perfectly fine on any version of linux (as old as 13 years old) but none of the buttons of my mouse work on any version of mac, even after installing microsoft's intelli driver.
