Description
The ergonomic design of the Logitech MX Master 2S mouse is well known for making it comfortable to hold. During prolonged usage, the rubber grip and contoured design provide sustained comfort. Using Logitech Options software, users may configure the mouse's thumb wheel and gesture button, among other programmable buttons.
The Logitech MX Keys keyboard has a sturdy metal structure and a simple appearance. Depending on the model, it has a full-sized layout or a small tenkeyless design. The keys are illuminated with a soft light that improves visibility without being obtrusive.
High-quality materials that can tolerate normal wear and tear are used in the construction of both devices with durability in mind.
Features
Speed adaptive scroll-wheel
If SmartShift is enabled, the speed-adaptive scroll wheel shifts between two scrolling modes automatically, in response to your touch.
- Click-to-click (ratchet) mode — ideal for precise navigation of items and lists.
Hyper-fast (freespin) mode — near-frictionless spinning, letting you fly through long documents and web pages.
Enable SmartShift
Select Enable from the SmartShift pull-down menu on the Point and scroll tab.
- Turn off SmartShift by selecting Disable from the SmartShift pull-down menu.
- When SmartShift is disabled, spinning or braking the scroll wheel has no effect on the current scrolling mode.
Switch modes manually
Whether SmartShift is enabled or disabled, you can manually switch between modes by pressing the mode shift button.
By default, mode shift is assigned to the button on top of the mouse. (Check current button assignments on the Mouse tab.)
Set a fixed scroll wheel mode
- If you prefer to use just one mode, you can fix the scroll wheel to either click-to-click (ratchet) or hyper-fast (freespin) mode.
On the Point and scroll tab, select Ratchet or Freespin from the Fixed scroll wheel mode pull-down menu.
IMPORTANT! You can fix the scroll wheel mode only if SmartShift is disabled and mode shift is not assigned to any MX Master button.
To activate fixed scroll wheel mode:
- Select Disable from the SmartShift pull-down menu.
- On the Mouse tab, click the highlighted mode shift button and select an action other than mode shift.
