Logitech has once again set the bar high with the release of its latest iteration in the MX Master line, the MX Master 4. With a legacy of excellence in the realm of productivity-focused mice, each new model in this series brings forward enhancements while preserving the features that have made it stand out. The MX Master 4, priced at $120, promises to uphold this tradition with notable improvements.
For many, including myself, earlier versions like the MX Master 2S have been integral to daily workflows, proving their worth both in personal and professional settings. Whether you’re a college student or a tech professional, the MX Master mice are designed to enhance productivity and comfort. The MX Master 4 continues this trend with its ergonomic design, featuring a sculpted shape, multiple thumb buttons, and both vertical and horizontal scroll wheels. The introduction of haptic feedback and expanded gesture controls are chief among its new advancements, offering even more customization and precision.
In terms of comfort and usability, the MX Master 4 retains the familiar, large, right-handed design that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. It includes two standard mouse buttons, a clickable scroll wheel with adjustable scrolling modes, and a host of buttons on the side, including three in a row with a horizontal scroll wheel above. The underside features an on-off switch and a button for cycling through connected devices.
The mouse’s build quality also deserves mention. The main shell is crafted from ABS plastic, complemented by a transparent, polycarbonate-like material on the buttons, and a rubberized grip on the sides. The matte finish on the transparent buttons offers a smooth feel that enhances grip without causing discomfort. However, users should note that the surface may be prone to scratches with use, as observed during testing. A subtle knurling pattern on the main body not only aids grip but also contributes to an appealing stippled effect when light hits the mouse.
Logitech continues to innovate with its MX Master 4, making it a compelling choice for those needing a high-performance, comfortable mouse for long hours of work. With thoughtful design elements and enhanced features, it’s evident that the MX Master 4 lives up to its predecessors, promising productivity and comfort for users.
