Logitech MX Master 3 Mouse (Mac version) w/Safari Question

[jazz1]

I apologize if I’ve asked this before, but the well meaning responses has still left me in a quandary. I’d like to use the thumb buttons on the MX Master 3 mouse to reload the previous Safari page, and then back again.

In the past I’ve been informed to use the “Accessibility” controls under the System icon. So far I haven’t been able to figure out the exact steps.

If anyone can give me a detailed “how to” program the mouse buttons I would appreciate it greatly. I’m currently using my iPad Pro to drive a USB-C Dell monitor. Just as a fill in until the ARM Macs arrive. My old 12” Macbook finally bit the dust. So I’ve resorted to the iPad/monitor setup. Not too bad, but for me it is just a temporary work around.

Open Settings
Open Accessibility
Open Touch
Open AssistiveTouch and enable it
Go down under AssistiveTouch and open Devices
Select MX Master 3
Now you can assign actions to listed buttons.

For this to remain active, you need to have AssistiveTouch enabled when the mouse is connected.

I don’t think there’s a button assignment to previous page (Slide left gesture).

Oh, too bad. Thanks for letting me know. I really enjoy using it on my Mac, I was hoping to use the “back and forth” gesture on the iPad. Maybe I’ll need an ARM Mac to get the best of both worlds At least that is what I’ll tell my spouse

OP here. Small update. I did find using the ”Command Key” and the “Arrow Key” (L&R) does let me move back and forth between pages in Safari. I’m using an MX Master Mac Keyboard. Maybe this is old news to most, but I thought I’d share it.

Yeah. If you hold the command key down, it will show a list of available keyboard shortcuts.

Anyone having an issue with imac not recognizing MX Keys or Master 3 for Mac upon Log in? Bluetooth recognizes both after I log on but I have to use a connected keyboard in order to type my password. Very annoying. It's only on the log in screen after a shut down or restart.
