Left-Handed 3D Print of Logitech MX Master 3S Resolves Inconvenient Layout Designed Primarily for Right-Handed Users
In a groundbreaking move for left-handed users, Matthias Deblaiser has 3D-printed a left-handed version of the popular Logitech MX Master 3S mouse. This DIY modification is a game-changer for those new to 3D printing who want to explore the world of DIY hardware.
The 3D printing file for the left-handed Logitech MX Master 3S was created by the user named "7i7L" and was published on April 17, 2023. The original mouse, designed for right-handed users, has some buttons oriented to one side where the thumb would be positioned, making it inconvenient for left-handed users.
However, Deblaiser's creation addresses this issue. The left-handed MX Master 3S takes into account the internal hardware to work properly for left-handed users. To use the left-handed shell, the internal hardware needs to be oriented to fit the left-handed shell. This DIY modification is the only way for left-handed users to use the Logitech MX Master 3S ergonomically.
It's important to note that this modification does not affect Logitech's financial situation, as left-handed users will still need to purchase the mouse for the modification. For those interested in 3D printing, our list of the best 3D printers can provide recommendations and buying tips.
If using the left-handed MX Master 3S daily, it is recommended to use a stronger material like ABS or PETG rather than PLA for durability. The layer texture produced by the printer can be smoothed out post-printing for a more polished design.
Matthias Deblaiser shared his creation with the community, and the project design for the left-handed MX Master 3S can be found on Printables. Unfortunately, Logitech has not released a left-handed version of the Logitech MX Master 3S.
