Logitech MX Master

Tips on using Logitech MX Master family computer mice

There are 2 main configuration paths for specific MX Master options:

Solaar - GUI

LogiOps - Command Line

Solaar

It is possible to quickly test Solaar with nix run. Settings will not persist across reboots without proper installation.

sudo nix run nixpkgs#solaar

# sudo needed to detect mouse

To install on NixOS:

  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    solaar
  ];

For configuration, see: project documentation

LogiOps

Is a userspace driver running as a systemd service. Default location for the configuration file is /etc/logid.cfg, but another can be specified using the -c flag.

See project documentation and Arch Wiki for usage and configuration details.

Tips and Tricks

Smoother Scrolling (Scroll Wheel Resolution)

By default High Resolution Scrolling might be disabled. To enable:

with Solaar:

sudo nix run nixpkgs#solaar

# sudo needed to detect mouse

in Solaar find Scroll Wheel Resolution and enable it.

with Logiops:

add following to your Logiops config file:

hiresscroll:
    {
        hires: true;
    };

Scroll Speed issues

High Resolution Scrolling may feel too fast. You may want to lower scroll speed in your Desktop Environment -> Mouse settings or if it doesn't help enough - possibly will have to disable hires scrolling.
