Logitech Unveils Mobi Fold, a Compact Folding Wireless Travel Mouse

Logitech has announced the release of its new ultraportable travel mouse, the Mobi Fold. The mouse, which follows earlier leaked marketing images, is designed to be compact and can fold in half via a hinge that pivots approximately 130 degrees.

Available for $79.99, the Mobi Fold comes in several color options: graphite, off-white, lilac, and sand. While not Logitech's lightest or most inexpensive mouse, it stands out as one of its smallest offerings, positioned as a feature-rich alternative to a laptop's trackpad.

The Mobi Fold weighs 79 grams. When folded, it measures roughly 2.6 x 2.5 inches and is just over three-quarters of an inch tall, making it highly compact for travel. The mouse features a silicone skin that covers the hinge and over half of its body, enhancing grip and offering some protection against drops. The hinge is reportedly tested to withstand 15 years of daily use.

Functionally, the Mobi Fold includes a 4K DPI optical sensor and standard left and right mouse buttons. A multifunction touch panel is situated between these buttons, which can be customized using the optional Logi Options Plus software to control scrolling speed or act as additional clickable buttons for functions like forward and back. A single button on the underside allows the mouse to connect and cycle between up to three different devices. The device is powered off by simply folding it in half.

The rechargeable battery is designed to last up to one month on a full charge, with a rapid 1-minute charge providing approximately 22 hours of usage. The underside features a removable cover, enabling future battery replacement, a feature likely influenced by recent EU regulations. The Mobi Fold is slated for a global release.

According to The Verge, the Mobi Fold aims to offer robust functionality and customizability for users prioritizing portability.
