      Thanks. The app is free to try for 30 days.

      However, I can already see open issues that mention requiring the proprietary software from Logi to be installed in order for all the buttons and wheels to work.

      Having said that, I will use it for a while before forming a concrete opinion.

    Cross posted this as I just noticed the “feature” on my machine.

    Any suggestions for alternative software for an MX Master 3 being used with macOS.

    Buying a whole other device seems wasteful as the mouse is in flawless condition, but if you have any suggestions I can take a note of it when it is time to buy a new device.

        Without the software, the only functionality I get in macOS is scrolling, rendering the buttons and side scroll wheel useless.

        To access all the extra MX mouse features that go above and beyond what a basic mouse has. MacOS supports a basic 2 button + scroll wheel mouse just fine, but the MX has other features.
