Hello,

Sinds I've updated my Photoshop to 25.0

my Logitech MX Master 3 mouse scrolls horizontal when I hit my back or forward button.

I want to use my own custom command instead.

The custom commands still works at Photoshop Beta.

I've deleted Photoshop Beta hoping that the custom command works at Photoshop 25.0 But I still have the horizontal scroll.

Very anoying! Hopefully somebody can help me with this.

I've got everything working in Options with 25.0.0 (That's Options and NOT Options+)

That's:

Mouse wheel (hold down) — pan

Horizontal Scroll Wheel — brush size

The buttons below the horizontal scroll wheel — Undo and Redo

Those are the only useful buttons IMO so far.

At the moment, when I start the computer and open Photoshop, the above functions are not working. I'm having to open Options and change it from All applications to Photoshop. I can minimise Options and the Photoshop functions keep working. We can obviously add Options to Windows Start menu, but I am not sure if we can make it select Photoshop. I'm thinking that if we have to do that manually every time, we probably won't bother. I think I could get used to the brush size and pan functions though, so I'll probably persevere. It's a shame that this is not working with Options+ seeing as that is the reccomened driver for the MX Master 3.

I made it work for Options+. When adding a new application, scroll all the way down and choose - add other application, then find the location where photoshop is installed (you can right click on its shortcut and go to file location, then copy and paste the diretory). Then you can use keyboard shortcuts to customize buttons. Its not the best but it worked.

I'm looking at Logitch Options+, which is the driver for that mouse, and you can set aplication specific controls, but it's not like some of their gaming mice that have far more choice regards options.

If you add the Photoshop profile, and then select Photoshop in the top right corner drop-down.

Then with the Mouse tab selected you can click on one of the buttons or wheel.

In the example below these are the options for the scroll forward button, and while the choice is limited, I can see that it could be useful. I HATE using computer mice without those controls as they dramatically speed up your workflow, and while I have never used the app specific options, I am going to try the Photoshop options. Brush size or Redo perhaps?

So are you trying to use these options and finding they don't work? If this is happening since the upgrade, then it seems likely that the Photoshop app Options+ is pointing at is the previous version. You need to delete the old one (a tiny x to the right of the app name) and add Photoshop again.

I have just tried it with those buttons controlling brush size. I had to restart Photoshop and close Options+, but it works perfectly after doing so. I see you are using a Mac though, and I am on Windows 11, so that might make a difference. I am going to edit your subject line so people can see you are using an MX Master 3, and hopefully attract someone who uses that mouse on a Mac system. Or it might just work for you if you remove Photoshop and add it again.

Good luck.

First of all thank you for your comprehensive response.

I am using Option+ Firmware version 19.1.15

Photoshop: 25.0

Somehow photoshop overwrites my own custom command which I have set on my 'Back + forward' button on my MX 3.

As you can see my screen goes horizontally left or right instead of the commands I have by default.

• I've deleted the photoshop application and added it again.

• I added simple commands like copy and paste.

• Restarted photoshop again and still I get to see the horizontal command in photoshop.

I can only think that it is a Mac specific issue. I have tested as much as I am able abd eveything seems to work as it should. In fact I am really quite pleased to have responded to your thread, because I am going to use the mouse features going forward. I edited youe subject line, as I said, so lets hope a Mac using MX Master 3 owner sees your thread and tries to help. If there is no change by tomorrow, I'll add 'Unresolved' to the subject line.
