I recently upgraded my mouse to the new Logitech MX Master 4 and have been really happy with it.
For years, I used the old Logitech Performance MX, long after it was discontinued. After my last backup copy of it died, I moved to the Logitech MX Master 3S. It was great, and the 4 builds atop it with some nice new features. After a few days, here are some thoughts:
- Using a Logitech mouse over Bluetooth, without a dongle, is pretty great. It’s nice to get a USB port back.

- I pretty quickly turned the haptic feedback off.
In the past, the Logi Options software came with lot of stuff I didn’t want to use (including some poorly-implemented AI features), but it’s easier to turn things off now. I used it to set my mouse’s buttons up this way:
I’m a big Spaces user, so having quick access to other screens is pretty sweet, even if my muscle memory is to reach for the Magic Trackpad to the left of my keyboard.
