Gesture Volume Speed, + Software & Bolt Dongles
The way my MX Mouse 3 controls the volume with the gesture button has changed and now feels cheap and slow.
The speed of the volume change is inconsistent and takes a much longer stroke to go from 0 to 100 when compared to the same mouse using the old software. I will be returning to the old software because of this.
One issue that has been present from day 1 but seems to be getting worse with this new software is the gesture button not doing what I have programmed it to do. I use my gesture button exclusively as media controls however more frequently the gesture button brings up Windows multitasking instead, which I have to esc out of and try my media command again. This is incredibly disappointing for the price and prestige this hardware commands.
Furthermore, I see absolutely no need to change the software from what it currently is. There is no issue with it, and it works fine. Personally, I am not a fan of the visual layout of the new app. It feels empty and quite confusing.
On the upside, I like the visual battery and connection status for each device on the main page and the fact I no longer have to sign in. I threw out all my Razor peripherals because of their insistence of account-based software and I am glad Logitech is going the opposite direction. It’s a keyboard and mouse for god’s sake!
Finally, although not specifically about this software, I would like to address the new Bolt dongles.
I appreciate the need to upgrade to a more secure wireless transmission method, but why was this not provided to your existing customers that have already spent a premium on these devices? Surely this could have been a firmware update to all MX devices rather than a complete replacement scenario.
Thanks for your time and kind regards,
Mike Munro
