I don't like the multi-finger gestures on the magic mouse/ mac trackpad. I almost never have anything more than two fingers on the top of my mouse, and the effort of pulling the third finger up and adjusting my grip to do a gesture is not worth the time saved vs doing whatever action by moving the mouse around. My favourite, though, is the MX Master - the "gesture" button that you can hold and move the mouse to do gestures is extremely easy to use. does not require any additional hand movement, and can be mapped to anything you please. The gesture button has turned me from preferring the keyboard to just one handing with the mouse when I don't need to type. That the Master mouse also has two additional buttons and a horizontal scroll wheel is just the cherry on top.
E: I realise I've been mixing up magic mouse gestures and trackpad gestures. The magic mouse doesn't need three finger gestures, but my point about having to change the grip etc. still stands, and I do prefer the logi's use of normal mouse movements for gestures.
Can you give me some examples of how you use the gestures in MX Master? I have been using one for users but the novelty of the gesture button wore off in a week. I love the mouse though, and would give the gesture button another try if I can figure out use cases for it.
Pressing the gesture button -> Mission Control/ Super key on GNOME
Gesture + Move Left/Right -> Switch between full screen apps on macOS / Unbound in GNOME
Gesture + Up/Down -> Switch Workspaces in GNOME / Unbound in macOS
I leave some of the slides unbound in some systems because the action doesn't suit the software, with sliding right/left not visually matching switching between workspaces in my GNOME setup, and sliding up/down not visually matching anything except Mission Control in macOS. I don't want the same gestures to be different things on different systems so I just leave them unbound.
That's generally all I need + the horizontal wheel to handle forward/back and scrolling. If there's some other use case you really like, you can set them to the ones I've unbound, or even the forward/back keys. If you're using linux, You can get logiops (https://github.com/PixlOne/logiops) and use it to map everything.
