Logitech has just announced the Mobi Fold, its first-ever foldable mouse designed specifically for professionals who work outside the office. Launching globally, the Mobi Fold addresses a surprisingly common problem — while 72% of professionals own a mouse, only 26% actually use one when working in public, mostly because traditional mice are just too bulky to bother carrying around.
The solution Logitech came up with is a folding mechanism that collapses the mouse to nearly half its size when not in use. It automatically powers on when unfolded and shuts off when folded, so there’s no fumbling with buttons. The company also says it reduces muscle strain by 22% compared to using a laptop trackpad, which makes sense for anyone spending long hours away from their desk.
In terms of features, the Mobi Fold comes with Adaptive Touch Scrolling that adjusts between precise line-by-line navigation and faster scrolling depending on the task. Two customisable buttons on the touch panel can be configured through the Logi Options+ app to trigger shortcuts like app switching or screenshots. It connects to up to three devices simultaneously via Bluetooth and works across Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, iPadOS, and Linux — pretty much every platform you’d realistically need.
For those working in shared spaces, the mouse features quiet-clicks so you’re not disturbing everyone around you. It’s also been drop-tested, wrapped in a dust-resistant silicone sleeve, and the internal hinge is rated for 15 years of daily use. An on-device AI model also helps prevent accidental clicks when folding the device shut.
Battery life is solid — a one-minute charge delivers 22 hours of use, with up to 30 days on a full charge. The Mobi Fold is also the first Logitech input device to carry Fast Pair certification, making it instantly pairable with compatible Google devices.
It comes in three colourways: Graphite, Lilac, and Off-White. Logitech has also put some thought into sustainability, with the Graphite model using up to 36% certified post-consumer recycled plastic, 100% post-consumer recycled rare earth metal in the magnets, and FSC-certified packaging.
A Mobi Fold for Business variant is also available, adding a Logi Bolt USB-C receiver for more secure wireless connectivity, a two-year limited hardware warranty, and Logitech Sync support for IT management.
The Logitech Mobi Fold is available now for A$129.95, with the Mobi Fold for Business priced at A$149.95 through authorised B2B channels. Might be useful to some but I’ll stick with my Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse for work purposes.
