What keeps coming up
Owners who have had this mouse for years describe it as still doing its job fine, with the body holding up well and only the thumb rest rubber showing wear over time.

Logitech MX Master 3S
Owners keep the MX Master 3S for its scroll wheel, shape and daily comfort, but many are stuck fighting Logi Options+ just to get their programmed buttons and scroll settings to work at all.
What keeps coming up against it
App usability is a clear complaint: owners describe Logi Options+ getting stuck on a loading screen, custom buttons and scroll settings resetting or breaking without warning, and having to uninstall and reinstall the app repeatedly to get basic functions back.

Life with it
The part that never quite becomes routine is the software. Owners report the Logi Options+ app breaking on its own, sometimes tied to background updates or expired certificates, wiping out custom button mappings and scroll direction settings they had dialed in. Some have found workarounds, like using Logi Tune for basic button mapping instead, or downgrading to an older version of the app, but these are described as workarounds rather than fixes.
Reliability & repairs
The software side is where reliability breaks down, and repeatedly. Owners describe Logi Options+ failing to load, losing detection of the mouse entirely, or breaking after macOS updates, with some pointing to expired certificates and others to server dependency issues. The common owner fix is uninstalling and reinstalling, downgrading to an older Options+ version, or switching to Logi Tune or a third-party app for basic button mapping, none of which owners describe as a permanent solution.

Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
7 more subjects came up from fewer than 4 owners each, which is not enough for a fair reading. To see how it stacks up, compare it with another machine.
