Hi all, nice to see everything is going well here.

I have a short and probably easy question for mx owners.. As you know you have the option to switch from one device-to-another by simply clicking that special button (below). The ideea is nice but I want it this way :

1 - PC

2 - Laptop

3 - Ipad

 

Right now.. Ipad -1 ; Laptop - 2 and PC -3 . How can I change the mapping? Haven't found anything in their software.

Thanks a lot.

Worked..thanks. Wonder if posibile to invert direction for scroll from ipados. Or maybe install  their software if available for ipados. 

Noticed also that : on bluetooth devices (ipad & laptop) the connection was easily done.. but on pc with the logitech receiver refuses to connect even I set on mouse to blink on 1. 😔

You might need to use the unifying software to change slots for the receiver. Not sure on that one.

Also if you want the "virtual" dual screen set up you need to install the Logi Options software and configure flow on both your Laptop and Desktop, I have it set up with my iMac and PC since their on the same desk and use slot 3 for my work laptop (manually have to switch since the logi options software isn't approved...).

They have to be on the same vlan/subnet and if your running hyperv on your desktop... can't use bridge mode for the vswitch... (unless you have dual nics, which i do but dont have hooked up...)

Hopefully I don't need the flow-feature for it.. and I have to specify that I own the normal version of MX 3, not the mac one.

The sad part is that I've read that on ipad invert-scroll direction is not possible. For W10 I've did it from their software.. I wonder how you're actually feeling with scroll inversed..

Doesn't matter which version you own, they're actually the same and can pair with the same devices, the only difference with the Mac one is it doesn't come with the Unifying receiver, the usb dongle)  Also my scroll is set up normal. and I don't use it with an iPad (actually dont own a modern ipad, my ipad is an iPad 2 and no longer used).

 

For your scrolling issue, try going into the Settings app -> General -> Mouse and Trackpad and turn off Natural Scrolling

I've also found on google some words related to.. AssistiveTouch. I'll try your method first anyway.

It's very sad that logitech is not focusing as much as it's normal on ipados14.

 

If you're using it on a mac then you have the logitech software dedicated and that's no problem.

Has nothing to do with Logitech, that affects all bluetooth mice brands lol.

 

Scroll direction is controlled by the OS, not the driver/hardware vendor.  Logitech may put it in a more convenient place, but I can use their mice without the software (as I do on my work laptop and with bluetooth at that, which is technically an unsupported config with logitech mice and windows).

They were, but I didn’t know about the hyper-v gotcha. I’ve changed my setup since, so it makes less sense to use it that way but yeah...it was irritating.

Yea discovered that real quick cause I set it up before I enabled Hyper-V and went "WTF" when I couldn't swoosh over to my iMac anymore and realized the only thing I changed was added a vswitch that bridged to my network card, disabled that and went back to normal... but can't access my vm's outside the host... gotta get up off my ass and run that second cable...

I wonder if my g915 can use Flow, I had an MX keys last I tried. I have dual NICs as well.

I don't think G series products support it since it's built into the logitech options software and not the g hub.

 

Also I just ran a cable, can confirm that it works when you have one dedicated nic to the host machine and one dedicated to the vm network :)

    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      I recently tried edge. It seems a lot better. A lot of the junk in it is gone. It seems less bloated and snappy.
    • Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns

      By zikalify · Posted

      Lethal fake phone chargers are still being sold on Amazon and eBay, UK watchdog warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels The UK consumer rights organization, Which?, is claiming that “potentially lethal knock-off chargers” are still being sold on online marketplaces seven years after it exposed the danger of these chargers. In its latest investigation, it bought 15 USB phone chargers from several online marketplaces and found they were missing key information, meaning they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Which? bought the 15 chargers from seven online marketplaces. These were Amazon (including Amazon Haul), AliExpress, B&Q Marketplace, Debenhams Marketplace, and eBay. It said that the chargers were so badly made that anyone using them was at risk of electric shock. Over half the chargers also posed fire and explosion risks. Of the chargers purchased, one was a fake Apple USB-C 35W power adaptor charger. To confuse buyers, the box was branded with an Apple logo, but testing found it to be a fake. Further testing picked up arcing sounds after 10 seconds of use, where a current jumps between two parts of the electrical circuit, which can cause fires, explosions, or electric shock. The manufacturers of this particular charger also put modeling clay inside it to make it feel more weighty, robust, and genuine. Not all of the chargers were technically faulty; however, some were missing key packaging, markings, and documentation, meaning they can’t be sold in the UK legally. Which? said that it is now campaigning alongside a coalition of safety groups and businesses for new laws that make online marketplaces responsible for ensuring the safety of products that they choose to list on their websites. It also said the government needs to start using powers under the Product Regulation and Metrology Act, which was adopted last July, to impose safety requirements on online marketplaces via secondary legislation, but so far, there have been delays. No matter what country you are in, be sure to properly research what you are buying and only buy authentic chargers to prevent fires. You can read more about Which?’s research here.
    • Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Visual Studio finally gets long-awaited feature that developers will love by Usama Jawad Visual Studio Code is Microsoft's popular, lightweight, open-source code editor, it is actually Visual Studio that is the company's flagship integrated development environment (IDE). Although the IDE already offers a boatload of useful features for developers, Microsoft has finally introduced a long-requested capability that will be loved by many. While developers have already been able to create Git pull requests (PRs) directly within Visual Studio for the past couple of years, it had not been possible to review a PR without switching to the browser, until now. Microsoft revealed in December 2025 that it is working on UX that enables developers to do just that, and fast-forward to June 2026, and Visual Studio finally has native capabilities to open and inspect a PR, discuss feedback, and wrap up the review, all without switching to the browser. This integration works for both GitHub and Azure DevOps (including on-prem). Developers have access to multiple surfaces to open a PR, including Git Repository, Git Changes, and the Git menu in Visual Studio. Once you open a PR, all the important details will be immediately visible to you, from where you can navigate to various levels of granularity and branch states, depending on the reviews that you are engaged in. As you would expect, you also get a diff view that enables you to see code changes inline or side-by-side in a separate panel. You can also review commit-by-commit. Additionally, this UX fosters collaboration as you can leave comments, reply to threads, and resolve conversations easily. Naturally, you can also leverage Copilot to apply a code suggestion to fix a potential issue. When you are done, you have the ability to approve, complete, and merge the PR. This is a pretty major feature as it has been requested heavily for the past few years. You can try it out in Visual Studio 2026 version 18.7, made available here recently. Microsoft plans to enhance this experience further in future releases with comment filtering, a timeline of PR activity, and more.
