We've seen foldable phones come back, we've seen Lenovo testing a foldable gaming handheld screen, but I didn't think I'd see the day that Logitech puts out a foldable gaming mouse. If you feel like your current mouse is just too chunky to comfortably fit into your bag, then the Mobi Fold is presumably for you.
Launched this week, Logitech's Mobi Fold comes in four colourways (Lilac, Graphite, Off White, and Sand) and can be purchased for $80. If you buy it directly from Logitech, it will even come with a Mobi Carry Pouch at checkout, which is a tiny grey bag to fit your even tinier mouse in.
That bag has a magnetic closure and a strap, so you can hook it onto your trousers, attach it to a pair of keys, or loop it on a chain should you want to dangle the mouse around as you walk. Personally, I'm not sure how much I'd actually use the bag, but the mouse itself seems sort of neat.
As a frequent cafe goer, I actually think I would use this, but perhaps more on my iPad than on a laptop. That being said, it's a bit more than I'd want to pay for something I only use sometimes when I'm out and about. But hey, that just means I'm not the target audience.
The mouse itself is sort of like a rectangle with curved edges, with a ribbed middle section where the whole thing folds in half. It looks a bit like Microsoft's Surface Arc, though bendy. It's fairly front-heavy (so no gaming ergonomics here) and comes with a small groove on the bottom to accommodate the top half when folded. It seems like most of the components are in the top half of the mouse, which makes some sense. The bottom half has a Type-C charging port, and the rest seems to be there to support your palm.
As far as specs are concerned, the Mobi Fold comes with a PixArt PAW322 sensor, with a max DPI of 4000 and a minimum of 400. Logitech says you can get 32 days of battery life out of it (with 33 days if you use the Logitech Bolt USB receiver), and 22 hours of use out of a 1-minute quick charge. It does note, however, that you will have to bring your own USB Type-C cable.
Interestingly, there's no physical mouse wheel here. Instead, there are two buttons on a touch panel in its place. You can still use that section as a traditional scroll, but it also means getting access to a few new buttons. You can customise those two buttons in the Logitech Options+ App to do things like take screenshots or swap between applications.
As you might expect, folding the mouse shuts it down automatically, and it even has an AI model on-device that supposedly analyses when it's in use to stop misclicks as you are putting it away. It has also been durability tested, and Logitech says it should last more than 15 years, assuming you fold and unfold it eight times a day.
Logitech shows it in use on the product page, and it even works when not entirely flat on a table. Ergonomics will be important here for long-term use, but it does seem like it's intended more as a laptop companion for vigorously sorting through Excel sheets, rather than plugging it into your RTX 5090-equipped home rig. You can do either, but I wouldn't be expecting snappy headshots and a hurtlingly fast polling rate out of it.
