Logitech just launched the MX Master 4 mouse, which is a big deal if you spend most of your days glued to a computer screen. This is the first MX mouse with customizable haptics, which means you’ll feel vibrations when you scroll and select things. If you’re a designer or video editor, you definitely shouldn’t sleep on this, as it could make your life a heck of a lot easier.
One of the coolest features is the Actions Ring. Essentially, it’s a digital overlay that appears on your screen containing all of your much loved shortcuts. This overlay lets you assign commands for Photoshop, Excel, or whatever else you’re working with that day. Logitech claims it can cut down repetitive mouse movements by 63 percent.
Connectivity gets a nice boost, too. With this model, you’re getting a high-performance chip as well as better antenna placement, which means, according to Logitech, you’re getting twice the connection strength compared to previous iterations. You can also easily pair it with laptops or desktops via USB-C.
Durability’s a big deal here as well. The MX Master 4 has a stain-resistant finish and a sturdy construction. Logitech even used some recycled materials for the mouse and made the packaging easy to toss into the recycling bin. We love to see efforts being made in the sustainability space here!
Other neat bits? The scroll wheel can whiz through 1,000 lines per second, and its 8,000 DPI sensor makes tracking very precise on most surfaces like glass or wood. And Logitech says clicks are 90 percent quieter, which is ideal for shared workspaces.
The MX Master 4 costs $119.99 and it comes with a one-month Adobe Creative Cloud trial. Colorways include Black, Graphite, and Pale Grey for the folks in North America. There’s also an MX Master 4 for Mac ($119.99) and it’s available in White Silver or Space Black.
