Logitech folds on the excuses with its pocketable Mobi Fold
Despite the fact I use a mouse at my desk all the time , I never actually take it with me when I use my laptop on the road. Part of the reason is the slight but still inconvenient bulk a traditional mouse adds to my bag.
But the bigger reason is that it's just a bit of a hassle, right? When you're working from a laptop in meetings or working on a train, the inconvenience of a mouse isn't worth the hassle.
That's part of the reason why Logitech has launched the Mobi Fold, a portable foldable mouse that can slip into your pocket.
It's Logitech's first foldable mouse, with a folding hinge that collapses the body to roughly half its normal size. Open it and it powers on automatically; fold it closed and it powers off. There's no separate power button to forget.
Scrolling is handled by an adaptive touch system rather than a physical wheel, letting you switch between precise line-by-line navigation and fast-scrolling through long documents.
Two customisable buttons on the touch panel can be mapped via the Logi Options+ app to whatever shortcuts you use most. Logitech also claims the Mobi Fold reduces muscle strain by 22% compared to a laptop trackpad.
It connects to up to three devices via Bluetooth and supports Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, iPadOS, and Linux.
Battery life looks strong on paper: a one-minute charge gives you 22 hours of use, and a full charge stretches to 30 days. The hinge is rated for 15 years of daily use, and the silicone sleeve is dust-resistant and drop-tested.
Logitech VP and General Manager Joseph Mingori said the gap between mouse ownership and actually using one in public was what the company set out to close.
"With Mobi Fold, we have engineered a frictionless transition between the dedicated desk and working on the move. By delivering a comfortable, productive experience that collapses to nearly half its size, we ensure a professional setup is a constant, not a compromise."
The Mobi Fold is also the first Logitech input device to be Fast Pair Certified, enabling instant pairing with compatible Google devices.
