The Logitech MX Master 3S mouse has indeed found its way under the $100 mark, courtesy of Amazon’s $30 discount, making it a steal at $89.99. But let’s dissect this “awesome” claim with a bit of wit and skepticism.

Firstly, while the MX Master 3S boasts a second scroll wheel for horizontal scrolling—a feature that’s handy but hardly revolutionary—it feels like Logitech is trying to convince us that this single innovation makes it the bee’s knees in the wireless mouse kingdom. Sure, it’s useful for spreadsheet aficionados, but does it justify its premium price tag? Perhaps not entirely.

Comfort and customization are lauded, with the thumb rest and curved shape earning praise from Verge staff. Yet, isn’t comfort subjective? What feels heavenly to one might feel meh to another. And while Logitech’s software lets you remap buttons, isn’t that a feature many mid-range mice offer these days? The side and top button customization is nice, but it’s not exactly groundbreaking.

The battery life claims are solid at about 70 days of use, though our reviewer noted it ran down slightly faster. Still, who doesn’t love a mouse you can use while charging? It’s like the Energizer Bunny of mice—just keep it plugged in!

Lastly, let’s not forget the newer MX Master 4 with its haptic feedback on the thumb rest. For $30 more, is that tactile buzz worth the upgrade? Maybe for those who crave every bit of innovation, but for many, it might just be a marginal improvement over the tried-and-true 3S.

In conclusion, while the Logitech MX Master 3S is indeed a fantastic mouse at under $100, its claims of awesomeness could use a splash of skepticism. It’s comfortable and customizable, yes, but does the second scroll wheel and slight battery life variation truly set it apart from other wireless mice in the same price range? Perhaps not entirely—making it a solid choice, but not necessarily the ultimate throne-taker among wireless mouse royalty.
