Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been on board with the MX series for a while now. This is replacing a Master 3. Love the MagSpeed scroll wheel. Handling the 4 takes some getting used to from a grip and lift standpoint. The M3 seems to have a bit more curvature than the M4. Curvature, or the buttons below the horizontal scroll protrude more. Either way, picking up the M3 with a light grip is easier than the M4. Function wise, it all feels the same as what I’m use to. Precise movements and decent ergonomics. Though I wish they’d move the MagSpeed to the vertical mice, for the best ergonomics and features. The price point might be high for some. The action ring is a nice option, but I can’t get the screen shot option to work correctly with it, so for me, I just have the thumb pad button routed for a keyboard shortcut. I’m missing out on the feel power of the action ring, but how I have it set up is most practical for me. It’ll take a little more experimenting to figure out and evaluate how to route each button for my other workflows.

There isn't a terrible amount to be said about the new MX Master 4 that probably hasn't already been said. For a productivity mouse, Logitech has built hands down the best mouse for the job. The biggest change from the MX Master 3 for me was the haptic feedback. The positive feedback when clicking is satisfying and reminds me of Apple's trackpads. The mouse is incredibly well built, ergonomic, and a great alternative to the trackpad. The Options+ software allows you to pretty much customize everything about the mouse from what the button actions will be to the feedback amount. The mouse also has the option to be paired to up to three devices which is great for those with more than on Mac or maybe an iPad Pro in the mix. Battery life is still incredible and despite using the mouse for three weeks it is still rocking the initial charge. The mouse is precise and seems to work on all surfaces I have tried including a glass mousepad. I don't really recommend the mouse for any kind of competitive gaming, but it would work in a pinch. It feels fast and responsive, but compared to a true gaming mouse you can feel the difference. Overall, the mouse is my daily workhorse and has gotten me away from my Magic Trackpad. For a productivity mouse you simply cannot go wrong with the Logitech MX Master 4 for MaC. Easy recommendation.

If you’re in the market for a brand new mouse for your computer, looking no further, this is the one. I’ve used all the previous versions of this mouse, and this one is by far the best. The upgrades that they’ve done with the hectic feedback simply takes it to another level, and I think you’re really gonna be happy when you start to use it. Hardware is amazing a little heavier, but still good. The other others were somewhat weighty as well, but this one kinda to be done this way. The internals are different on this mouse because of the haptic feedback, so that’s why the weight has been increased. Traveling feedback on the buttons are all good, very solid and nice and clicky. The scroll wheel seems to have been improved as well, making it easy to transition from page to page. This mouse is for the Mac, and I believe the ones where the PC would probably operate the same as well. The price is fair considering the upgrades that they’ve done from the previous generations, but some people will still be priced out. Connection was nice and simple, just turn on Bluetooth and you’re all set. My computer found it right away, and connected instantly. If you have connection issues, all you have to do is flip the mouse over, and long press the button on the bottom. Make sure your Bluetooth is turned on on your computer or device, and select the mouse. Give it a second to connect, and you’re all good. I highly recommend this mouse, and this brand.

The MX Master 4 is the latest flagship mouse in Logitech’s lineup. The highlight new feature for this mouse is its ability to provide haptic feedback. While haptics don’t necessarily increase productivity, they do enhance feedback and give you confidence that the action you’re trying to do is successful, for example, snapping to smart guides in Photoshop. PROs • The center wheel allows precise scrolling when rotated slowly or at normal pace. But if you flick it quickly, it rotates freely for rapid scrolling. There is also a center button that by default activates rapid scroll, but there’s really no reason to use it when the flicking motion works just fine. Fortunately, that button can be configured for another function. For example, I have set the button to close browser tabs when in Chrome or Safari. • Charge port on the front means that it can continue being used while charging. If in a rush, one minute of charging is supposed to provide about 3 hours use. Fully charging, however, should last 70 days. • The haptic button can be pressed to bring up the Actions Ring by default. The Actions Ring is a menu wheel of selectable functions for general use or based on the app you’re in. You can even create a folder to nest additional functions. If you’re doing anything that requires a lot of mouse interaction like photo/video editing, the Actions Ring has the potential to boost productivity immensely. • Premium feel and mouse click sound. • The function of just about every button can be customized to truly let you get the most out the mouse. CONs • Note that the front port is only for charging, not for wired operation. That means it still needs to be connected via Bluetooth or via Logitech’s Bolt receiver, which inexplicably is not included in the Mac edition of the mouse despite being the same price as the non-Mac edition that does include the receiver. • The Logi Plugins Marketplace is confusing. There are plugins and there are profiles, and at a glance, it’s hard to tell what the difference is and what you should be using when. • Despite all the flexibility in configuring the buttons and wheels per application, there is no way to configure them per website. I spend most of my working day in Gmail. It would be nice if I could further configure the settings with shortcuts for deleting, archiving, replying etc. while in Gmail. But the settings only apply to the browser, not the website. OTHER • Logitech has really gone all-in on their Logi Options+ software. Firstly, it serves as a hub for configuring many Logitech devices including mice, cameras, and keyboards. Many of the buttons on these devices can be repurposed for different settings. But secondly, the Logi Options+ also allows customization by app, both by your own settings and by downloading app specific plug-ins in the Logi marketplace. • The long term usefulness of haptics is TBD. It requires software apps to incorporate it in meaningful ways. At launch, Photoshop, Lightroom and Zoom have incorporated haptics. The Logi marketplace will have additional plugins over time. I would not purchase this mouse based solely on the haptics feature, but it does give you an additional button to configure as you’d like. • The thumb wheel—unlike the scroll wheel—is always free rotating. You can adjust the sensitivity so, for example, horizontal scroll speed is faster or slower. But it’s also a natural wheel to use for switching browser tabs or Excel workbook sheets, and having some “clickability” like the scroll wheel would be useful. • One other functionality I wish the mouse had was the ability to use the scroll wheel to scroll application window menu items. This would be a killer feature and really improve productivity. I’m coming from using an Apple trackpad, so comparisons to the prior version of the mouse don’t mean much to me. I’ve been using a third party utility to customize my trackpad. Since that utility also customizes other peripherals and apps, I won’t be giving it up. But the MX4 and Logi Options+ will be my go to to configure anything mouse related. Overall I give this 4.5 stars, rounded down for not including a Bolt receiver in the Mac edition.

I love it. Very comfortable with my hand while moving the mouse around.
