Logitech MX Master 4
VERDICT
It is rare for a product to have zero real competition. The MX Master 4 refines the legendary ergonomics of the Master 3S. The silent clicks are satisfying yet quiet, the battery lasts for months, and the "Logi Options+" software allows you to program the buttons differently for every app you use (Zoom mute, Photoshop undo, Excel horizontal scroll).
The Big Picture
This mouse is an extension of your hand. It features a unique thumb scroll wheel for horizontal navigation (perfect for video timelines or wide Excel sheets). The MagSpeed™ electromagnetic wheel is precise enough to stop on a pixel and fast enough to scroll 1,000 lines in a second. Once you try it, standard scroll wheels feel broken.
🤫 Quiet Click Technology
The Upgrade: 90% less noise.
Experience: Previous models had a loud "click-clack" sound. The Master 4 gives you the tactile feedback of a click but without the noise, making it perfect for late-night work or quiet offices.
🖥️ Flow Control
Magic between computers.
Function: You can move your cursor to the edge of your screen on a Mac, and it will jump seamlessly to your Windows PC next to it. You can even copy text on one computer and paste it on the other instantly. No flash drives needed.
✅ The Pros
- Ergonomics: Sculpted shape prevents wrist pain (Carpal Tunnel).
- Surface Tracking: Works flawlessly on clear glass tables (8000 DPI).
- Battery: USB-C quick charge (1 min charge = 3 hours use).
- Thumb Wheel: A game changer for horizontal scrolling.
❌ The Cons
- Size: It is large and heavy; not suitable for small hands.
- Handedness: Only available for right-handed users.
- Gaming: Low polling rate (125Hz) makes it unsuitable for competitive FPS gaming.
🤔 Should you buy it?
YES if you are a creative professional, coder, or data analyst.
NO if you are a gamer or left-handed (get the Logitech G502 X or Razer Viper).
