    I've been a long-time fan of the Logitech MX series, but these last few releases have really missed the mark. I do like the new quiet buttons. The hepatic button, I might make use of it, but it can also be annoying until you get used to not accidentally pressing your thumb on it. The main thing I can not stand about this release is the hard, slick finish. The mouse doesn't have that comfortable feel that I had with the original version 3.

    I never thought I’d say this, but please bring back the rubber coating — or at least use a textured plastic that actually provides grip. I used to hate how my MX Master 3 and 3S got sticky and worn out over time, but after spending three full workdays with the MX Master 4, I can confidently say: this plastic version is not the answer. It takes constant effort to keep your hand centered; the surface is so slick that my hand keeps sliding off, leaving the edge of my palm constantly on my desk, palm edge felt sore by the end of the day. I love the new features and haptics, but the ergonomics are ruined by the lack of grip. I’m returning it tomorrow and going back to the MX Master 3S.

    The perfect upgrade from my MX Anywhere 3S

    I absolutely love how fluid this mouse is. It glides comfortably on any surface and feels really natural in the hand. I thought it would take some time to get used to but I was able to customize all the buttons for my work flow throughout the day and it just works. The action ring where your thumb rests is actually one of my favorite things now. It brings up this little wheel on screen that lets you do quick shortcuts like open File Explorer, pause or play music, connect to AI tools, take screenshots and a few other things but you can also customize per app. I didn’t think I’d use it that much but it ends up being super handy and kind of addictive once you get used to it especially with the little buzz/vibration it makes. The MX Master 4 keeps the same good stuff from other LogiTech devies which I really appreciate. You can connect it to three different Bluetooth devices and switch between them without having to reconnect anything. You can even share files between computers just by copying on one and then moving your cursor to the other computer and pasting. The scroll wheel is amazing. It has that premium smooth feel and changes automatically between free spin and the more controlled scroll depending on how fast you move it. It makes scrolling through long documents or editing videos way easier and just feels nice every single time. I’ve been using an MX Anywhere 3S for a while and that one always felt cramped after a few hours. The MX Master 4 feels like the total opposite and the shape just fits my hand better. I can go through a whole workday without that tight crampy feeling which is a huge difference. The clicks are super quiet but still feel solid which I love because I can work late or during nap time with the baby in the same room and it doesn’t wake him up. You can definitely feel the click but it doesn’t make that loud sound some other mice have. Battery life has been really good. After using it every day for a week the charge barely moved and it uses USB C which makes it easy since that’s what most of my stuff already uses. The setup was simple too. It works great right out of the box but you can still open the Logi Options Plus app and really fine tune everything. I made a few profiles for my creative apps and even changed the thumb wheel to scroll sideways in Premiere which makes editing smoother. Overall this mouse just gets everything right. It’s comfortable quiet customizable and feels built to last. It’s one of those tools that just makes your day go smoother without even thinking about it.

    Best mouse I've ever used

    I don't make the claim in the title for this review lightly. This really is by far the best mouse I've ever used. The Logitech MX Master 4 is really a thing of perfection. To begin, the build quality is great. It's not to heavy or to light. The materials used feel solid. The dials and buttons have a great feel to them and click/turn nice. The design is what I like the most. It fits my hand like a natural extension. It has the perfect raised arch and the controls all fall naturally under my fingers. The scroll wheel has just the right amount of light ridges as you scroll. Also, the placement of the button just behind the wheel to de-click the wheel is brilliant. The buttons and the side wheel fall just in the right place as well. The arch of the mouse is just right for my hand. That may be a personal thing, but I think most will like how it feels in the hand as well. The battery life is excellent. I fully charged it right away and after a week I am still at 95%. That's with leaving it turned on 24/7. The Logi Options+ feature is more useful than I first anticipated. One click on the mouse opens a circle on the screen that can be customized for quick access to often used programs. I find this feature to be very useful with my various photo editing programs. I can't think of any users (other than gamers) that I wouldn't recommend the MX Master 4 to. It's that perfect.

    highly customizable mouse for editing or gaming

    The Logitech - MX Master 4 - Adobe Edition - Laser Ergonomic Mouse with Advanced Performance Haptic Feedback – Wireless is the successor for the MX3 from Logitech. Usually, I opt for a standard mouse that performs well, however I now create a lot of digital content and need a mouse that has multiple programable button, the MX4 certainly fills that need. The mouse is rather large, but the basic mouse components are there, if you have smaller hands, it may take a bit to get used to. However, with my mitts it actually fits pretty well. First thing you have to do is lose the muscle memory you have for a standard mouse, and that may take a while. At first I thought you could control and configure the mouse with the G HUB software I already have on my system from the Logitech gaming mouse and keyboard I already use, so was a bit frustrated when the MX mouse was magically recognized via a Bluetooth on my laptop, but not by G HUB. Again, though it was not recognized by G HUB, after looking into this further (and needing to assign custom functions to some of the buttons), I discovered the Logi+ Options software was required for that. Once I installed that software the Action Ring appeared on my screen, while this seems like a useful tool, I have not yet dived into the functionality, however it seems interesting. Now lets talk hardware, again the mouse is a bit odd for those used to a standard mouse, it seems like a frankenmouse, somewhere between a trackball and a standard mouse. I’m sure I’ll get used to it as a dive into more functionality. The mouse has a total of eight buttons and a scroll wheel, has a 650 mAh lithium rechargeble battery (via USB-C) which is rated to last 70 days (although I think a better rating would be hours of use). It also benefits from a quick charge mode that will give you a few hours of life with a few minute charge. The device comes with a 2.4ghz USB-C dongle if you want to utilize a low latency, further range option for connectivity. Otherwise, you can use the Bluetooth Low Energy (5.1) option to connect the mouse to your computer (this is the option I used, as I really do not like dongles or receivers that take up valuable ports when you can just use integrated Bluetooth. One of the highly touted features is the thumb button with haptic feedback, I am a little mixed about this feature and it may come in handy for games, we will see if I like it otherwise. Due to the position of the thumb button and its size, a custom keyboard shortcut in the Logi Options+ software in my Davinci Resolve Studio profile video editing software for quick cuts Crtl-B (Razer) in my timeline. I also assigned the Shift-Backspace (Ripple Delete) to one of the side buttons below the Horizontal scroll wheel. Speaking of the Horizontal scroll wheel, this provides a huge improvement timeline scrubbing in Davinci Resolve. So, there is a lot to work with in the MX4, I think I have only scratched the surface on how this mouse will improve my workflows in some specific applications. I appreciate that the mouse is partially made of sustainable materials including recycled plastics and cobalt in the battery. And a big plus for me, since they DO NOT use a grippy rubberized surface on this mouse (except for the thumb button) it does not gross me out, as rubberized surfaces are hard to clean and get lint on them if you clean them with a paper towel. In any case I think this is another homerun for Logitech and those that need highly configurable input devices. The device also includes a two month trial to Adobe Creative Cloud, so I may check out that out as I am really seeking a good photo editor such as Lightroom. >>> Pros >> Quality build, partially constructed with recycled materials >> Multiple ways to connect the mouse (Bluetooth, 2.4ghz) >> Responsive, with good performance >> Customizable buttons >> Logi Options+ software for customization and the Actions Ring >> Quiet, no noise when clicking buttons <<< Cons << Form factor may take time to get used to, especially for smaller hands << Still mixed about the thumb button, I’ve accidentally pressed it while gripping the mouse, even though it also takes some force to press (hoping it will loosen up as I get more used to this mouse).

    Another incredible, irreplaceable Logitech mouse

    The Logitech MX Master 4 Laser Ergonomic Mouse with Advanced Performance Haptic Feedback is an incredible, high-quality mouse that I now cannot live without. My job requires me to work on a computer for the majority of my day which means having a reliable yet comfortable and ergonomic mouse is a must. I was previously using the Logitech MX Master 3 for the majority of my work and I really liked that mouse a lot but now that I split my time between the office and working from my home office, I needed a similar second mouse so I wouldn’t have to transport my Master 3 back and forth and that’s when I came across this new Logitech MX Master 4. Given how much I love my MX Master 3, I had no doubt that I would be just as impressed with this MX Master 4 and that has certainly been the case. It has a very familiar feel to it but with a few upgrades that have improved my productivity even further. One of the unique features that really stands out on this MX Master 4 mouse is the haptic sense panel. The haptic feedback can be customized in the Logi Options+ app along with various other features of the mouse. I also really like the feel of the clicks which are surprisingly quiet and I don’t think any mouse will ever be able to top the feel and performance of the MagSpeed scroll wheel. Overall, I am very impressed with the Logitech MX Master 4 Laser Ergonomic Mouse with Advanced Performance Haptic Feedback and I highly recommend it!

    Great mouse! I also have the prior MX Master 3S version which is very similar, and find it super comfortable in my hand. Slight differences in geometry now with this MX Master 4 in that the body area under my palm is no longer rubbery, but not bad. The thumb area is still rubber coated for a nice grip. The extra available buttons in that area are a plus as well. Smooth and responsive on my Mac Mini, MacBook Air and Windows laptop, and I love the option for multiple devices (up to 3) via bluetooth. Simply flip it over and tap the button. Super convenient since I have multiple computers connected to the same monitor and keyboard setup as well. The side thumb roller wheel is great for panning large Excel files or CAD drawings. Top roller wheel smooth as well. Great battery life, and easy to connect to a charge cord and still use like an "old-time" wired mouse. Definitely recommend this next gen MX Master 4!

    This is definitely a do it all accessory as far as a mouse goes. Ill get the two biggest drawbacks out of the way. It is a bit bulky for my liking but it is a soild accessory. This is also not friendly at all for left handed users. I like the haptic feedback feature and it is comfortable in the hand. The texture of the mouse feels comfortable and releives overall pressure on your hand and wrist. Set up was literally plug and play. It synched up to my laptop and I was up and running in under 30 seconds. It is plug in recharable via a c cable and has extremely good battery life. The buttons are all very responsive and is quiet when it comes to "clicks". The silicone has a great feel and not the overall all plastic feel on other same style devices. The action ring or wheel is also very responsive. You can program it to best serve you for various tasks you routinely execute. This is a good product for advanced users who may do work in development or video editing. Other than that the overlook of left handers, this is a very adaptable mouse.

    The newest version of the Logitech MX Master mouse is a big change from the previous versions in several ways. The first thing that I noticed was the shape. The new MX is much more angular, almost reminds me of a certain electric truck that has been so popular the last few years. With a high center and fairly flat surfaces, the mouse looks like it would not be very comfortable to use. Quite the opposite, I found the mouse to be very comfortable and felt used to it within a matter of minutes. Though the shape does cause my hand to fall fairly high on the buttons, they work so flawlessly that I didn't even realize where my fingers were sitting until I looked at it. The biggest change that caught my attention from the moment I turned it on was the haptic feedback on the thumb pad. I have used about every version of MX Master Logitech has produced and have been using all of their mice since the early 90's when I would stop by the factory store and grab deals every time we visited the Bay Area! The haptic feedback seemed like it was a gimmick at first, but I have begun to use it a bit more and find it a useful addition to the mouse. I'm sure that as I play with custom mappings, I will get even more use out of it but even the defaults are pretty good. Since I also use a Logitech Spotlight while teaching, it is nice to be able to jump right to the Options + app without having to go through the Start menu and fiddling with a bunch of mouse clicks. It did take a few hours of use before I stopped accidently clicking the haptic pad with my thumb - I didn't realize how much I rest it on that area! I should have known since that is one of the worn areas that are now smooth on almost all of my mice that have that area. The scroll wheel is another area that changed. I didn't think I would like the loss of the free-scrolling wheel on my MX Master 2S that I have used so long, but the graduated scroll of the new mouse is actually quite easy to use and I have become used to it without realizing it. I actually prefer the new feature - being able to click down one line at a time is very practical and then giving it a slight flick with my finger turns it into a free-scrolling wheel like I am used to. So far, after a week of using it, the battery is really holding up well, so I am impressed with that also. I have come to expect a bit form Logitech and though I have been let down a time or two over the years, this is definitely a good evolution of this line of mice. I'm glad I was able to get this mouse and it is proving to be another workhorse for my desk, allowing me to get things done without being in the way. Overall, I think Logitech has done it again... they have managed to change a very stable product with just enough innovation to keep the good qualities of the previous version while adding genuinely useful features that I didn't expect to be so helpful. Now I'm wondering why it took so long to come up with these features I didn't realize I would use! I would have no problem recommending this mouse to anyone looking for a good, all-around mouse for games and work. It is just hefty enough to feel stable but light enough to move easily when making fast movements. I run two large monitors and have a TV screen on for presenting my lessons, so there is a lot of real estate to cover when I move back and forth and this mouse does it very comfortably. Well done Logitech!

    I’ll admit it upfront: I’m a Logitech fan, especially their higher-end keyboard and mice. In fact, I own the predecessor to this mouse, the MX Master 3S. And just like the 3S, I feel that the MX Master 4 is amazing! I recently started back to school, and my hand and wrist were suffering from using smaller laptop mice. I needed something larger that allowed my hand to stretch out a bit and something that would support my wrist. This is the primary reason I opted for another MX Master mouse: Ergonomics. The mouse half a pleasantly neutral hand position: Not too flat and not upright. It works well for me and really prevents the hand and wrist pain I was getting from my smaller mouse. In addition, the mouse has a dedicated area for the thumb, which helps with comfort too…and well as some additional functionality. There are a ton of buttons on this mouse, some I use A LOT and others maybe not too often. Thankfully, Logitech’s Logi Options+ software is great: It lets you customize each mouse button and scroll wheel for general use AND on a per-app basis. Even the scroll wheel tension is adjustable! The software also allows you to program macros into the buttons, too, if you use macros frequently. I love having the two scroll wheels, one for up/down and one for right/left. I use a lot of split-screen views, and that often means I need to scroll left and right pretty regularly. The software really perfects a top-notch piece of hardware. Speaking of hardware, there are a few small differences between the MX Master 3S and the 4. The first is the 4 having a bit more soft-touch rubbery feel where your hand lies. This is a nice touch as long as the rubbery stuff lasts. The other major difference is a more pronounced thumb button towards the bottom of the mouse. I don’t find pressing this button to be a ‘natural movement’, so I don’t use it that often, but for others this may represent a welcome change. Otherwise, the sensors are basically the same and both mice work perfectly in their intended functions. I know a lot of people might balk at a $100 non-gaming mouse, and I totally get that. But for me, the much-improved hand comfort along with the Logi Options+ software proved beneficial enough to warrant the cost. If you can stomach spending this much for a mouse, then I HIGHLY recommend the MX Master 4.

    I work on my computer all day and most of the applications I use are very mouse centric. I need a larger sized mouse with plenty of customizable buttons to make my job easier and prefer a scroll wheel that clicks. I’ve been using Logitech products since they came out in the 1980’s and have rarely been disappointed, so they are my go-to brand. My latest has been a Logitech MX Master 2S that I’ve used for year or so now. It’s been my favorite mouse so far, even though there are a few things I don’t like about it. When I saw the new MX Master 4, I thought I’d give it a try to see if my complaints had been addressed. The first thing I noticed about the MX 4 is that it looks almost exactly like the MX 2S. The two have an almost identical silhouette, but just “almost” – there are differences and they are important. First of all, the left button on the MX 4 protrudes further than on the MX 2S. Also, the left edge, where the horizontal control is located, is shorter on the MX 4. That edge on the MS 2S extends further to the rear of the mouse. These two small differences make the MX 4 much more comfortable in my hand. Another minor difference is in the placement of the vertical scroll wheel. The one the MX 4 is located slightly left of the one on the MX 2S and it’s also canted to the left ever so slightly. This is actually the only thing I like better about the Mx 2S over the MX 4. Maybe it’s because I am so familiar with the 2S, but it just feels like it’s “off” on the MX 4. This is not enough to detract from the other great features of the MX 4, but it is something I do notice. Otherwise, the vertical scroll wheel works identically on both. Like the MX 2S the MX 4 has a button to select smooth or “click” scrolling, and on both, if you “flick” the wheel, it will freewheel and “hyper scroll” to quickly move up or down a long page. I will say that the MX 4’s hyper scroll function seems to be faster. As for other differences, the MX 4’s horizontal scroll wheel is in a much better position and is larger, making it easier to use. The thumb buttons for forward/back control are also in a better position and easier to use. The added “Task View” button that sits in front of those is another great feature. The thumb rest button is also easier to use. One of my big complaints about the MX 2S was that this button was difficult to activate. I had to press it in just the right place to use it, so it was not something I could quickly activate. The MX 4’s thumb rest button is much easier to use as it responds to clicks over most of the entire surface of the pad. One final major difference is the palm rest surface. On the MX 2S it’s a “soft touch” coating, while on the MX 4 it’s just a satin finished plastic. That soft touch coating looks and feels luxurious, but over time it gets dirty and gooey. Storing the mouse in a hot place can accelerate this deterioration. I much prefer the simple plastic housing on the MX 4 for longevity. Both of these mice are rechargeable via a USB cord, but the MX 4 has a modern USB-C port, where the 2S uses the older micro-USB port. The battery lasts for weeks with almost constant work-day use. The MX 4 comes with a Logi Unifying Receiver and this one is a small USB-C sized adapter. In fact, it’s so small, you can plug it into the mouse’s front USB charging port for storage and you’ll never know it’s there. Of course this new style receiver means that If you have an older computer that lacks USB-C ports, you’ll need an adapter. The good news is that just like the MX 2S, the MX 4 can connect to up to three different devices, using any combination of Bluetooth or Logi receivers. A button on the bottom selects which device you’ve paired to and can also be used to activate pairing mode. This is trademark Logi functionality, and it works very well. Overall, I am extremely happy with the MX 4. It solves my two biggest complaints about the MX 2S, which are the side thumb buttons, small vertical scroll wheel, and soft-touch coating. The slightly reposition vertical scroll wheel is not really an issue, and I’ve pretty much become accustomed to it. Overall, this is a great mouse. I know some people may be hesitant to spend $100 or more on a mouse, but when it’s the tool you use all day, it’s definitely worthwhile to get one that is well-made and works well. This one absolutely works well for me and I am glad that I upgraded to the MX 4.
