The Logitech MX Master 4 is a well-designed, ergonomic office mouse with innovative features that can make everyday work much easier for professional users. Its quick setup, long battery life, and high-quality construction make it a durable product.

Minor issues such as the lack of a charging cable and the unfinished software are minor weaknesses, but they hardly detract from the overall picture. With a price tag of around $120, the MX Master 4 is primarily aimed at users who value comfort, precision, and productivity and are willing to invest a little more to achieve this.

A clear recommendation for power users who spend a lot of time at the computer and want to optimize their workflows.

The Logitech MX Master 4 is one of the most sought-after productivity mice on the market and is set to continue the success of its predecessors. It promises maximum ergonomics, precise control, and innovative features such as haptic feedback and the Action Ring, which are designed to significantly optimize workflow. The MX Master 4 is designed especially for professionals who spend long hours working at the computer. We reviewed it.

The Logitech MX Master 4 features high-quality materials: the housing is largely made of recycled plastic, while the thumb wheel and main scroll wheel are crafted from robust aluminum.

The non-slip surface has been significantly improved compared to the previous generation, as Logitech has dispensed with the previously much-criticized rubber coating and now uses a more durable coating that is easier to clean. At around 150 grams, the mouse is comparatively heavy, which increases precision when controlling it, but can be annoying for mobile gamers.

The sensor operates at up to 8,000 DPI and can be used reliably even on glass surfaces. Screws for disassembly and possible repair are easily accessible, and Logitech plans to offer replacement batteries, which supports the sustainable use concept.

Setting up the MX Master 4 is quick and easy. The mouse can be connected either via Bluetooth or the included Logi Bolt USB-C receiver, which provides a stable, secure wireless connection with a range of several meters. Users can pair up to three devices and switch between them effortlessly using a button on the bottom of the mouse.

The basic connection is established within seconds, so the mouse is ready to use immediately. To enjoy the full range of features, we recommend installing the free Logi Options+ software, which can be used to configure the Action Ring in particular. The circular menu on this ring allows quick access to up to eight programmable shortcuts, which make navigating and working in complex applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Zoom, or Office noticeably easier. The software design is currently still in the beta phase, but has already proven to be very reliable during the review.

The Logitech MX Master 4 is compatible with all common operating systems such as Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS, iPadOS, and ChromeOS.

Logitech advertises the MX Master 4 with a battery life of up to 70 days with average use, a claim that may well be realistic in practice if haptic feedback is disabled. But even with intensive use, a month should easily be possible with one battery charge.

Fast charging via USB-C provides up to three hours of additional use after just one minute of charging, which meets professional requirements on stressful workdays. Another positive feature is the ability to continue using the mouse while it is charging, so there are no interruptions in your workflow.

The Logitech mouse is charged via a USB-C port on the front. If the battery does eventually die, it should be replaceable by the user.
