Connecting your Logitech MX Master 3S mouse to your computer in CS2 can be achieved via Bluetooth or RF (Unifying Receiver). This guide walks you through the steps for both methods to ensure a seamless experience.
Understanding Connection Methods
The Logitech MX Master 3S supports two primary connection types:

- RF (Unifying Receiver): Using Logitech’s Unifying Receiver for a dedicated wireless connection.
Connecting via Bluetooth

Press and hold the Easy-Switch button on the bottom of the mouse until the LED starts blinking rapidly. This indicates the mouse is in pairing mode.
Step 3: Pair the Mouse with Your Computer
On your computer, search for available Bluetooth devices. Select “Logitech MX Master 3S” from the list. Confirm pairing if prompted.
Connecting via RF (Unifying Receiver)
This method requires the Logitech Unifying Receiver, which comes with the mouse or can be purchased separately. Follow these steps:

Troubleshooting Tips
If you encounter issues connecting your mouse, try the following:
- Ensure your device drivers are up to date.
- Restart your computer and try again.
- Remove and re-pair the device.
- Check batteries or charge status of the mouse.
- Use the Logitech Unifying Software to manage devices.
Additional Tips for CS2 Users
In Counter-Strike 2 (CS2), responsiveness is key. Make sure your mouse connection is stable for optimal gameplay. Using the RF connection with the Unifying Receiver often provides lower latency, but Bluetooth can be more convenient if set up correctly.
Adjust your mouse settings within CS2 and Logitech Options to customize sensitivity and button mappings for the best experience.
