Hey all.

I own a MX Master 3 for Mac.
In all sense, it's a very good mouse, it really is.
One thing that bothers me, a lot I have to say, how it attracts sweat on its "soft" surface.

Is there a decent alternative that has a plastic surface without this issue?
 
I do have one function over design and one design over function suggestion. Both are from Logitech so you need to download the abysmal Logitech g hub - sadly.

FoD: Logitech G604
This mouse is covered with buttons and it doesn't have that GaMeRZ looks and LED's. I've been using it for 3 years. The side plastics started to peel of but I'm not blaming the mouse as I haven't been so nice to it.

DoF: logitech pro x superlight
Not the regular one. The super light one. It's much more expensive but it is actually quite lightweight. 60gr or something if I remember correct. Just two buttons and pair of side buttons. It's lightweight and I love it. It's a FPS mouse essentially but again, it doesn't have that GaMeRZ look and the white one fits perfectly on my other Mac stuff. I think the next Magic Mouse should be something simple like that. Without the bluetooth.

Thanks so much. G604 looks good, but I am In Europe and struggling to find it. Pro X is also a cool looking device, but rather have bluetooth with a Mac, you know the struggle of ports and hubs if you are a Mac owner! :D

Oh yeah, true I forgot to mention about the bluetooth. Have to say bluetooth is terrible on G604. I only use it with the receiver. If I ever cannot find the receiver I don't even bother to use BT and switch to trackpad.

It might be just me but I find really hard to use any BT mouse on Mac other than Magic Mouse. The acceleration always feels off.

This isn't cheap or popular method. But I just use a Razer gaming mouse. I set it up on Windows system, because Razer software is no longer supported on MacOS. ANd then just move the dongle over the mac and that works extremely well for me.
