Frequent flyers, cafe campers, and hotel-lobby warriors, gather. Logitech just created a mouse with your name on it. The Mobi Fold arrived today for $79.99, and it folds in half like a clamshell phone before disappearing into a pocket. I haven’t caught it yet, but after putting together the presentation materials and some sheets, I have some ideas.
Logitech’s superiority rests on a statistic that rings true in every airport lounge I’ve ever camped in. The company says 72% of professionals own a mouse, while only 26% use one in public. That’s because traditional indicators feel too big to handle. A folding design aimed at that space makes sense to me on paper.
Portability and design
Folded, the Mobi Fold measures about 2.6 inches by 2.2 inches, is 0.83 inches long, and weighs 79 grams, so consider a case of earbuds that eats food. A thin silicone sleeve wraps around the hinge to keep palms from being pinched in the center, and the exterior repels dust and drops. Graphite goes global, while Lilac and Off-White reach select markets.
My mind went straight to the Surface Arc Mouse, the long-reigning favorite for navigation pointers. Microsoft’s design ditches the thin bezel, while Logitech went with a full phone with a hinge that rotates around 130 degrees. The Arc wins by being small, however the Mobi Fold’s short footprint should fit into small pockets and look friendly on a cramped tray table.
One concern comes from the pictures. Both palm surfaces remain completely flat, so placing your hand on the Mobi Fold looks closer to holding a soft tented postcard than a sculpted arch. Logitech’s lab study of 30 people estimated 22% less wrist stiffness compared to a trackpad, a claim I find plausible, although anyone moving from a pointed desktop mouse should budget for adjustment time.
Functionality and customization
Underneath sits a 4,000 DPI optical sensor, adjustable from 400 to 4,000 in 100 DPI steps, covering spreadsheets and slide decks with room to spare. The trick of the title is the Adaptive Touch Scrolling panel between the two big buttons. It swipes the transparency line by line to get specific work or fly through long documents, and the panel doubles as two clickable buttons that are mapped to forward and backward out of the box.
Both additional buttons replicate the Logi Options+ app on Windows and macOS, covering app launches, screenshots, and multi-step smart actions. A quiet click surrounds the parcel, a blessing to anyone who has heard the glimmer of a silent library. Scroll wheel loyalists like myself will miss the notch-by-notch feedback, and I suspect the touch panel will spark the loudest Reddit debates once the units reach consumers.
Veteran Arc owners know the pain of a missing back button and a rocker that can’t register left and right clicks at the same time. Logitech’s four-button layout avoids both complaints. CAD users still have to look elsewhere, because there’s no middle-click indicator that the drafting software relies on, a gripe I’ve heard from every AutoCAD freelancer I’ve worked with.
Charging and communication
The 100 mAh battery charges via USB-C, and one minute on the cable delivers 22 hours of use. Pump the cell up to 100%, and runtime reaches nearly a month, making the Arc’s six-month AAA endurance feel less extreme than it sounds. Rechargeable bits are trashed in my book, especially since the removable bottom panel allows the battery to be replaced years down the road.
Bluetooth LE 5.0 is compatible with up to three devices, and the Easy-Switch button on the bottom jumps between laptop, tablet, and phone. Compatibility includes Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, iPadOS, Android, and Linux, and the mouse comes with Quick Pairing guaranteed, a first for any Logitech input device. The Arc has never offered multi-device switching, so road warriors who juggle an iPad and a work laptop win here.
Companies can opt for the Mobi Fold for Business for $89.99, which includes a Logi Bolt USB-C receiver, sync support for IT teams, and a two-year warranty. Standard buyers stay Bluetooth only unless they add a Bolt receiver separately.
Smart features and durability
Turning the mouse on turns the power on, turning it off kills the power, and a dedicated button never comes into the picture. An on-device AI model disables the buttons when the mouse is hovering, which should stop middle clicks from firing off a half-written email. Small touches, big savings.
Durability claims seem strong for a hinged gadget. Logitech rates the hinge for 15 years of daily folding, and the silicone protector holds up to knocks and dirt. The company even calls the design fidget-proof, which I read as fair warning that owners will be opening and closing the Mobi Fold like a Zippo all day.
Stability boxes are also noted, with up to 36% post-consumer plastic in the Graphite model, magnets made from fully recycled rare metal, and FSC-certified packaging. None of these options change how the mouse behaves, but the effort gets the nod.
Where I arrive
Logitech Mobi Fold
A highly portable Bluetooth mouse with a quiet click.
Trackpad-weary travelers and cafe regulars should put the Mobi Fold at the top of the short list, because no competitor packs multi-device switching, fast charging, and silent clicking into a portable form factor that can be carried around every day. iPad multitaskers strike me as a sleepless audience, as the tiny mouse pairs well with the tablet’s windowing capabilities. Desk-bound workers with a full-size ergonomic mouse already own a better tool and can skip startup altogether.
My advice to day traders is simple. Get the Graphite finish for the highest recycled content, install Logi+ Options before the first trip, and map one touch panel button to a screenshot shortcut for customization to benefit your storage. The Mobi Fold retails now for $79.99 through Logitech and, in 2026 at the latest, through the TikTok Shop in the US.
