What happened?

I have an issue with the horizontal wheel on my MX Master 3s, I can't use the thumbwheel to switch a workspace. The problem arises when I use Logi Options+. In Logi Options+, the default settings for the thumb wheel are set to manipulate Scroll Left and Scroll Right, rather than allowing for true horizontal scrolling.

This is proven when I use the BetterMouse app and set the thumbwheel as a button (not as a horizontal scroll wheel), as shown in the image below.

It can't switch the workspace until I set the thumbwheel to function as a horizontal wheel, which works as expected. However, the speed of the horizontal wheel is too fast, causing it to switch the workspace multiple times instead of just once.

Please support scroll left and scroll right for the workspace switcher. This feature will allow most MX Master 3s users to switch between workspaces, whether they are using LogiOptions or BetterMouse.
