In June, Nintendo announced a new version of the Switch 2 that should let you easily replace its battery pack - but only for Europe. Logitech will do much the same. User-replaceable batteries will be the law in Europe in February 2027, but instead of bringing them to the rest of the world, Logitech plans to ship one version of its wireless mice to Europe and a different version everywhere else.

The Mobi Fold feels like a full-sized mouse when opened and includes a touch panel for scrolling.
Logitech finally announced its new ultraportable travel mouse following leaked marketing images that spoiled the surprise last month. As the name implies, the Mobi Fold is a compact mouse that can fold in half using a hinge that can pivot about 130 degrees. At $79.99 in graphite, off-white, lilac, and sand color options, the Mobi Fold isn’t Logitech’s lightest or cheapest mouse, but it’s definitely one of its smallest and a well-featured alternative to your laptop’s trackpad if you can get used to some unconventional ergonomics.
The arch-shaped Mobi Fold looks similar to other folding devices, like the Surface Arc mouse. But while Microsoft’s design folds flat, making it thinner and easier to slip into a pocket or bag, the Mobi Fold is more like a clamshell cellphone. And even though it doesn’t snap shut with a satisfying clunk, it feels durable. Logitech says the hinge was “tested to withstand 15 years of daily use.”
That hinge, along with more than half the mouse, is wrapped in a silicone skin that improves grip while semi-protecting it from drops. Where it covers the hinge you’ll find a pleated design that expands and stretches when the mouse is folded in half, so there’s no risk of pinching.
At 79 grams the Mobi Fold is a few grams heavier than Logitech’s Pebble Mouse 2 and the bare-bones M196 that I’ve been recently traveling with. When folded, the mouse is a little over three-quarters of an inch tall and about 2.6×2.5 inches in size, making it feel seriously compact. It reminds me of some wireless earbud cases, but a bit thinner.
Logitech claims the Mobi Fold’s rechargeable battery will power the mouse for up to one month on a full charge, while a 1-minute quick charge will keep it going for up to 22 hours. It’s getting a global release. which means we can probably thank recent EU regulations for a removable cover on the underside allowing that rechargeable battery to be replaced in the future.
The Mobi Fold isn’t designed to entirely replace a full-featured desktop mouse, but it offers enough functionality and customizability to be a solid trackpad alternative. There’s a 4K DPI optical sensor on the bottom and a pair of left and right mouse buttons on top with a multifunction touch panel between them. That panel’s behavior can be changed using the optional Logi Options Plus software, so swiping your finger up and down either causes websites and documents to zip by or a more leisurely line by line scroll. The top and bottom of the touch panel also function as two additional clicky buttons. You can customize their functionality using Logitech’s app, but by default they function as forward and back buttons while browsing.
A single button on the underside of the Mobi Fold is used to connect and cycle the mouse between up to three different devices, and I had no difficulty connecting it to a couple of laptops and an iPad. Instead of a dedicated power button, you turn the mouse off by folding it in half. I found that while scrolling with the touch panel remains active when you’ve picked up the mouse to fold it, all of the buttons are disabled. That should prevent accidental presses and clicks because you’ll absolutely be pressing them as you fold it.
If portability is your ultimate priority, the Mobi Fold is an excellent way to keep a mouse on hand. You’ll just want to take some extra time to get comfortable using it.
While Microsoft’s aptly named Arc mouse features a gracefully curved arch that contours to your hand, the Mobi Fold feels more like you’re resting your hands on two sides of a piece of cardboard that’s been folded in half. Its buttons and touch panel are also completely flat, and I’ve come to realize I’m a mouse user who prefers to frequently lift and reposition a mouse instead of moving my entire arm to push it around. The Mobi Fold’s thin design made it hard to do that as I struggled to find a sturdy place to grip it on either side.
For $80, the Mobi Fold delivers an impressively portable mouse that also offers more than just basic functionality. I will always choose a physical wheel over a touch pad for scrolling, but I’d happily endure finger swipes given how small this mouse folds up. While I’d still opt for my laptop’s touchpad, the Mobi Fold is an excellent accessory for taking advantage of the iPad’s recent multitasking upgrades.

Logitech is reportedly developing a new wireless mouse that folds in half to make it easier to carry around in a bag or pocket. According to leaked marketing images shared by WinFuture, Logitech's foldable mouse caused "22 percent less muscle strain" compared to using a laptop trackpad, and can be used across "multiple operating systems."
Logitech's design is visually similar to Microsoft's Surface Arc mouse and Lenovo's Yoga mouse, sporting the same arched shape when unfolded for use. One key difference is that while Microsoft and Lenovo's offerings can only be folded flat, the new Logitech mouse - the name of which is still unknown - fold …

Each type of keyboard switch comes with perks and downsides. People who are used to typing on mechanical switches might dislike how quiet and squishy analog switches are by comparison. Regardless of your thoughts there, analog switches stand out because there are so many ways that gamers can customize how quickly they register inputs. Logitech's new wired G512 X model attempts to settle the debate by letting you mix-and-match them as you please. The company claims that 39 of this model's switches are compatible with "almost all" popular analog and 3-pin and 5-pin mechanical switches.
The G512 X is launching in the compact 75- and bigger 98- …

Logitech has announced a new suite of Productivity Plugins for its entire MX line of accessories, including its Stream Deck alternative, the MX Creative Console. Since the console launched in September 2024, Logitech has been expanding its capabilities with plug-ins that support creativity-focused apps such as Final Cut Pro, Adobe Lightroom, and Figma. That is now expanding to include productivity apps, such as Microsoft Office's Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as Slack and Notion.
Shortcuts, actions, and specific tools in those apps can be quickly accessed using Logitech's Actions Ring menus, which are supported by accessories like th …

If you’re shopping for a wireless mouse that’ll help you multitask more easily, Logitech’s MX Master 4 is easily one of the best and most comfortable options available. It’s rarely discounted, but the black version is currently down to $99.99 ($20 off) at Newegg with code TRWF233. While it offers similarly quiet clicks and long battery life to the MX Master 3S, its direct predecessor, the newer model touts haptic feedback that offers tiny, satisfying jolts when you press its thumb rest to bring up Logitech’s Action Ring overlay.
The MX Master 4 works just as well on Windows as on macOS, and it includes a USB-C Bolt transmitter (previous models in the lineup included a USB-A version of the Bolt). I think this mouse is worth buying based on the hardware alone, though the additional features bundled with Logi Options, its companion app for desktop, add even more value. Clicking the thumb rest launches Action Rings, some of which are tailor-made for certain apps, such as Photoshop. Alternatively, you can customize your own Action Rings in the software, letting you quickly execute commands without mousing all over your screen(s).
The latest 13-inch MacBook Airwith an M5 chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD is on sale for $949.99 at Amazon and Best Buy, which is $150 off its original launch price. While less than a month ago we bemoaned the $100 gen-to-gen price increase compared to the M4 version, we’re certainly not mad to see such a big discount already. At this price, absolutely no one should buy the M4 Air, as it’s the same price yet has half the storage (which is slower than in the latest-gen model) and lacks the speed and efficiency benefits of the M5 model. Read our review.
Anker’s new 3-in-1 Qi2.2 MagGo is cheaper than ever for Prime members on Amazon. The wireless charging dock recently launched for $150, but you can grab it in either black or white for $119.99. The slim, folding charger can deliver up to 25W of wireless speed to iPhone 16-series phones or newer (excluding the MagSafe-less iPhone 16E). Meanwhile, you can charge your AirPods on a separate pad, and even your Apple Watch has a place to recharge, though you can also tuck away the watch pad for a slimmer, more elegant look. The charger also includes a 45W power adapter and the necessary cable to achieve peak speeds.
While we’re on the topic of chargers, Iniu makes a slim 10,000mAh power bank that doubles as a wall adapter. It normally costs $44.99, but the black version is down to just $18.35 at Amazon at checkout — no code necessary. The portable model has a built-in USB-C cable that delivers a peak charging speed of 45W to devices. Alternatively, you can plug it into your wall to simultaneously recharge its battery and use it for passthrough charging for a device (up to 30W in this mode).

Enthusiast gaming keyboard tech has made the jump to gaming mice - well, to one gaming mouse so far. The $179.99 Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike is the first to feature analog sensors that use induction to register clicks faster than microswitches used in many mice.
Those sensors allow for a host of cool features beyond just lower latency. There's a rapid trigger setting, popularized by Hall effect keyboards, that lets them quickly reset after being pressed to receive another input. The sensors in this mouse also let you customize how much you need to press each of the main buttons to send an input, requiring almost no pressure at all, a cli …

If you're among the macOS users experiencing some weird issues with your Logitech mouse, then good news: Logitech has now released a fix. This comes after multiple Reddit users reported yesterday that Logi Options Plus - the app required to manage and configure the controls on Logitech accessories - had stopped working, preventing them from using customized scrolling features, button actions, and gestures.
One Reddit user said that the scroll directions and extra buttons on their Logitech mouse "were not working as I intended" and that the Logi Options Plus app became stuck in a boot loop upon opening it to identify the cause. Logitech has …

Love me some lavender.
Logitech's Alto Keys K98M mechanical keyboard is now available in North America after its initial launch in China and other select markets. The $119.99 Alto Keys K98M is an almost full-size 1800-layout keyboard, offering a slightly compact design that maintains a number pad. But what makes the K98M special for a mass-market Logitech board is that it's fully hot-swappable with standard Cherry MX-compatible key switches and uses an internal gasket mount for a semi-soft typing feel. Logitech is taking some belated cues from enthusiast keyboards.
The Alto Keys has a two-piece plastic case with a translucent top portion and opaque bottom that's …
