Logitech MX Master 3 vs. 2S Teardown

The latest one makes my MacBook Pro emit an extremely annoying high pitched noise when moving. I think it’s due to the high refresh frequency of the mouse versus more traditional ones.

It sounds like a squeaky wheel or a squealing (real, animal) mouse.

Other mice do not cause this problem. I mask it out with noise canceling headphones but I’d love a nice mouse that doesn’t cause this behavior. I’ve tried ferrite loops but they do nothing.

I have the same problem! What the hell is that? I've been mystified at that noise for ages.

Looks like a number of Logitech mice suffer from whine, though whether it's the same whine as parent is describing I do not know. Apparently caused by a poor choice of capacitor: https://jdc.koitsu.org/logitech/ (you'll have to scroll down a bit).

Do you have an upgraded GPU? I think it’s the Radeon 560 in mine.

I have a desktop computer running Linux, I think the monitor is what's whining, but I'm not entirely sure.

You can turn down the polling rate of the mouse using the software.

Then the sensitivity goes down and you gotta compensate by increasing the sensitivity elsewhere. Can never get it quite right.

Does it really? It shouldn't but it could be flawed.

I imagine the poster is probably thinking of DPI rather than polling rate - two different things.
