Logitech’s MX Master 4 updates the company’s productivity-focused mouse lineup with a built-in haptic engine that delivers tactile feedback tied to on‑screen actions and a new software feature called the Actions Ring, a customizable on‑screen radial menu within Logi Options+ that provides context‑aware, app‑specific shortcuts to streamline workflows.
The MX Master 4 retains core hardware expected by its target users with an 8,000 DPI Darkfield sensor and MagSpeed scroll wheel, all while adding quieter clicks, improved wireless connectivity, and a USB‑C dongle; it will be sold in standard, Mac, and Business variants with global pricing set at $119.99/€129.99 and includes a one‑month Adobe Creative Cloud subscription with certain models. However, this may vary by retailer and region.
