[TheLostSwede]

Today, Logitech introduced the MX Master 3S for Business and the next-generation MX Keys Combo for Business Gen 2, bringing new levels of security and heightened employee experience to enterprise customers. The new Logitech products are designed to be easy-to-maintain scalable solutions that give IT departments peace of mind. When used with Logi Options+ software, users can enhance their experience and optimize workflow through personal customization and application-based presets.

"As we continue to expand our enterprise portfolio, what a great opportunity for advanced professionals looking to maximize output and increase productivity with MX Master 3S and MX Keys Combo for Business Gen 2," Joseph Mingori, general manager of B2B for Creativity & Productivity at Logitech. "We design for today's hybrid work with individuals in mind, offering a portfolio that meets the needs of IT departments and a diverse workforce."




MX Master 3S for Business
An icon remastered, the MX Master 3S for Business mouse combines what employees and IT departments love about the MX Master 3, with added features for ultimate tactility, performance and flow. The reimagined mouse features quiet click technology for the same satisfying click feel, but with 90 percent less noise than its predecessor. The 8,000 DPI sensor makes work on high-resolution monitors faster and more precise - even on glass. MagSpeed electromagnetic scrolling allows users to scroll 1,000 lines per second or with line-by-line precision - one of the most highly regarded MX signature features. The sculpted hand design ensures all-day comfort, amplified by finger and palm support to reduce forearm muscle fatigue, and the tilt angle lifts wrists off the table to reduce hard surface discomfort.

The MX Master 3S for Business was designed with sustainability in mind and is certified carbon neutral. The plastic components are made with 27 percent certified post-consumer recycled plastic (PCR).

MX Keys Combo for Business Gen 2
An upgraded version of an iconic combo designed for today's hybrid world, the MX Keys Combo for Business Gen 2 enables faster and more precise work. The easy-to-deploy, pre-paired and enterprise-ready full-size keyboard and mouse combo features smart backlighting, precise tracking and productivity shortcuts, making it the perfect companion for skilled professionals who primarily focus on high levels of creation and maximum output. Ideal for employees who spend long hours at the computer looking for greater comfort without sacrificing productivity, MX Keys for Business features perfect stroke scissor keys; the MX Palm Rest delivers firm, yet comfortable wrist support; and the MX Master 3S for Business is whisper quiet for better focus.

MX Keys Combo for Business Gen 2 is certified carbon neutral with responsible paper packaging from FSC -certified forests and other controlled sources, making it a toolset IT decision makers and environmentally conscious employees can feel good about.

Logi Options+
Intuitive and easy to use, Logi Options+ is a software application that enables simple short cuts for a fluid and intuitive experience with many familiar applications and video platforms, including Zoom or Microsoft Teams, allowing an easy mute on and off from your mouse and keyboard, and navigating between multiple computers with Flow-enabled mice to optimize workflow. Options+ is mass deployable, including the ability for IT to silently install and configure certain parameters of the app to meet corporate requirements.

Logi Bolt Wireless Security
Logi Bolt is Logitech's next-gen wireless connectivity protocol. Based on Bluetooth Low Energy wireless technology, Logi Bolt includes multiple security measures designed to give IT peace of mind by minimizing enterprise vulnerability risks both in office and remote. It also provides robust connectivity even in congested wireless environments. And it's engineered with Bluetooth security mode 1, level 4, also known as Secure Connections Only Mode, which is Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliant.

Pricing and Availability
The MX Master 3S for Business and MX Keys Combo for Business Gen 2 will be available in September 2022.

What's new here exactly, is it just a new combo? The MX Master 3S mouse already moved to the bolt dongle only, is the update only to the keyboard then? (i'm not sure if they already had the regular keyboard with a logi bolt option).

In any case, they have the far better mechanical keyboard versions, why not use those on the new combo or at least offer both?

Seems to be the bundle with the updated keyboard that's new.

I'd have bought a 3S the other day at Best Buy, but they only had it in White. I'm still on my G700S, and this thing eats AA batteries (even rechargeables). I'm with you guys - this makes no sense. Ship the 3S with the MX Mechanical & a mousepad/wrist rest combo and they MIGHT squeeze the $240 $279 $299...yeah nevermind. Their MSRP's on this shit are ridiculous. How on earth they think that keyboard(MX Mechanical) is worth $179? We could outfit our entire building with MS keyboards for that.

Even more crazy is that the regular MX Keys (non mech) is 119$, their margin on these products is huge. But if you want the convenience and low key stuff to use at the office it's not that bad since they also last forever.

I'm waiting for blackfriday to maybe buy a 3S/mx mech combo if they have some nice discounts, tired of the shared bargain bin that's at the office

Nope.... I'll stick with my G613/MX2 Master combos ( I own 4 sets) for a good while yet, thank you very much. And they cost me way less than this combo !

That KB with its minimal styling looks like they secretly wanted to make it a TKL, but just couldn't bring themselves to actually go thru with it, hehehehehe

Same. I want it, but not THAT bad. Can't even look the boss in the eye and ask for him to buy me something like that. (and he just let me build 3x 12600K/32GB/A2000 systems)

Keyboard looks the same.

Mouse has been updated from the 3 to the 3S.

Mouse has been updated from the 3 to the 3S.

The keyboard was also updated. Keyboard was upgraded to the new Logi Bolt dongle instead of the older unifying receiver, the new mechanicals launched with Logi bolt and now the regular keyboard was brought up to par.

The mouse already had a version with Logi Bolt, but maybe it wasn't in the combo (there were unifying receiver and logi bolt versions of the Mx Master 3, the 3S is Logi Bolt only among other small upgrades)
