[Feature request] Make MX Keys easy switch the mouse too
Answered
Hi Logitech,
What I would very much like to see is that the easy switch keys on my Logitech MX keys keyboard also switch my mouse to the computer I select.
Currently those keys switch the keyboard to a different computer but leave the mouse as is. So now I need to pick up the mouse (MX Master 2S) and use the small button at the bottom to change between computers.
When would you ever want to leave the mouse as is and switch keyboard only? Never right? Please make those 3 keys switch the mouse too!
I can't install the flow software on my locked work laptop so that isn't a solution for me.
Would be a great upgrade for me!

Dear Logitech! Could you please make it real? It would be a huge help for all and I truly believe the youtube will blow up again when the tech stars will be notified about this very unique feature! It worth it...
We can help you to make it known for our national youtube stars when it will be available. You only need to do it :)
Thank you in advance!
Best regards and happy new year!

Same here. I've bought the MX keys and MX master 2s to use on my private devices + work one with VPN where I can't install any additional software. I assigned keyboard and mouse to the same device number but switching mouse and keyboard separately beetween my devices is hell pain. I hope you will made it ! New year new opportunities :)

I've been waiting for this since the MX Keys launched and I'm really surprised it hasn't been implemented at all. Flow works <50% of the time for me, and it'd be so much easier to have the mouse switch with the dedicate switch key than manually flip over the mouse and press the small button a couple of times for each switch.

Dear Logitech,
Is there any update regarding the plans for adding this feature?
I am really disappointed that this is not a standard feature. I have purchased the MX Keys and MX Master 3 specifically for this reason. Flow does not cover all my needs at the moment.
Please add the option to switch both the Keyboard and Mouse from the Keyboard's easy switch buttons.

please add this functionality.
this is a must have. I use my work laptop via VPN (which Flow won't work) and my personal Mac side by side.
Keyboard switches very easy via the buttons but it is painful to turn the mouse back and push that little button multiple times.
when we switch the keyboard, mouse should follow too.

Can we stop pretending that if we had this feature, we would still use Flow where possible? :) We probably wouldn't. This only applies to users of both MX keys and mouse.
Man, i am so tired of thinking "why am i doing this" while turning over the mouse every 2 minutes. If only i could use the useless thumb button to switch through devices at least.

As I see it, these are enterprise level products. As such, you have to know that flow will not be possible in 99% of the cases for users. In my case, I CAN install flow, but I need to control 3 different machines on 3 different subnets so flow will never work.
To be honest, Flow is a marketing gimmick aimed at the causal home user. Although, power users will appreciate the convenience of not having to configure synergy, MWoB, or the like, they have different needs than the home user.
