Logitech Caught Pushing Firmware That Breaks Your Mouse

If you own an logitech device, pay attention.

All of a sudden, huge numbers of users of mx master 3s (myself included) are reporting the same failures at the same time:

Scroll wheel won’t switch to smooth scroll

SmartShift completely dead

Switching scroll modes or fast scrolling disconnects the mouse

Mode-switch light doesn’t light up anymore

This didn’t happen gradually. It all started after the latest Logi Options+ firmware update.

The worst part? Logitech admits firmware cannot be rolled back. Once you update, you’re locked in — even if the update cripples your device. And conveniently, this happens right before they release their new model.

This reeks of planned obsolescence — we pay premium prices for these mice, and Logitech is deliberately crippling them to push customers into buying their upcoming model.

⚠️ Do not install Logi Options+ and Do NOT update firmware, until this is addressed. If your mouse is still fine, stay on your current version.

Logitech needs to be called out for this. At the very least, they must provide firmware rollback or replacement options.
