3D Printing Company Creates Ambidextrous Version of Logitech MX Master 3S, Addressing Inconvenient Button Placement Designed for Right-Handed Users
3D Printing a Left-Handed Logitech MX Master 3S: A DIY Guide for Lefties
The Logitech MX Master 3S mouse, while designed exclusively for right-handed users, now has a solution for its left-handed counterparts, thanks to a creative DIY project.
In a commendable effort, 3D modeller Matthias Deblaiser has designed an open-source, left-handed shell for the Logitech MX Master 3S. This design, available for free download on Printables, allows left-handed users to utilise the mouse fully as intended.
To embark on this modification, an original Logitech MX Master 3S mouse is required. Once acquired, the hardware needs to be oriented to fit the left-handed shell. After printing, the layer texture can be smoothed out post-printing for a more polished design.
For those new to 3D printing, it's recommended to research the best 3D printers before purchasing. Factors to consider include printer quality, ease of use, and compatibility with various materials. Stronger materials like ABS or PETG are recommended if using the printed shell daily.
This project might appeal to newcomers interested in 3D printing and DIY hardware. For more information on recommended 3D printers and useful buying tips, readers can find articles on Tom's Hardware.
It's important to note that this project does not affect the sales of the original Logitech MX Master 3S for right-handed users. Logitech will not be affected financially by lefties who buy the mouse with intentions of printing reversed housing.
Currently, there is no publicly available information indicating that any open-source version of a left-handed Logitech MX Master 3S mouse has been created by a third party. The official MX Master 3S model is produced by Logitech and primarily designed for right-handed users, with no known open-source variant specifically for left-handed use.
