Logitech MX Master 4: Haptic Feedback, Less Rubber, Same Design

The Logitech MX Master 4 is here with haptic feedback, less rubber, and the same shape

Logitech has launched the much-anticipated MX Master 4 wireless mouse, a gadget that blends comfort and innovation for prolonged computer usage. Building on the success of the MX Master series, this latest model introduces haptic feedback and a refined design while retaining the same ergonomic shape that users love.

Equipped with a robust 8K DPI sensor and ultra-quiet clicks, the MX Master 4 offers a slight increase in weight and dimensions compared to its predecessor, the MX Master 3S. This updated model weighs 150 grams, providing a solid feel in hand, making it ideal for palm grippers.

The standout feature of this mouse is its haptic feedback system located in the thumb rest. Customizable via Logitech’s Options+ software, the feedback provides tactile responses for different functions, enhancing user engagement. Whether you’re switching devices or aligning graphics in Photoshop, a subtle vibration confirms your action. However, initial support for haptics is limited, covering a few major applications like Adobe Photoshop and Zoom, although more functionality is expected in the future.

Another note-worthy update is the switch from a rubbery texture to a lightly textured plastic finish, which should alleviate past issues of wear over time. Additionally, the USB receiver is now USB-C for the Windows model, promoting more seamless connectivity.

While it might not be a revolutionary upgrade for those already satisfied with older MX Master versions, the MX Master 4 represents a thoughtful iteration designed for power users. At $120 and set for October shipping, this mouse is poised to maintain Logitech’s reputation for high-quality, feature-rich wireless mice.
