Logitech’s New Folding Mouse Is Designed For Work On The Go

Most professionals own a mouse, few will use one in a cafe. Logitech thinks the answer folds in half and lives in your pocket.

logitech's new folding mouse is designed for work on the go

Logitech has unveiled the Mobi Fold, its first foldable mouse, pitched squarely at people who work from airport lounges, cafes and hotel lobbies rather than a fixed desk. The device collapses to roughly half its size, powers on automatically when opened and switches off when folded.

The company’s case rests on a gap in its own research: 72% of professionals own a mouse, but only 26% use one in public. Logitech blames the “bulk and friction” of conventional designs, which leave most people defaulting to the trackpad. The Mobi Fold, it claims, reduces muscle strain by 22% compared with a laptop trackpad.

“For a long time, people have left their mice behind simply because they were a hassle to carry around, not because they didn’t want to use one,” said Joseph Mingori, VP and General Manager at Logitech, adding that the company aims to ensure a professional setup is a constant, not a compromise.

The spec sheet is genuinely travel-minded. The mouse pairs with up to three devices over Bluetooth and works across Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, iPadOS and Linux. Quiet-clicks keep it inoffensive in shared spaces, the hinge is tested to withstand 15 years of daily use, and the exterior is drop-tested and wrapped in a dust-resistant silicone sleeve. A one-minute charge yields 22 hours of use; a full charge lasts up to 30 days. An on-device AI model helps prevent unintentional clicks while folding, and it is the first Logitech input device certified for Google’s Fast Pair. Adaptive Touch Scrolling and two customizable buttons, configured through the Logi Options+ app, handle the precision work.

Logitech is also leaning on sustainability credentials: up to 36% post-consumer recycled plastic in Graphite models, magnets made entirely from post-consumer recycled rare earth metal, and FSC-certified packaging. Three colorways were announced – Graphite, Lilac and Off-White – though the availability notice mentions only Graphite.

Pricing has not been announced, which is likely the one spec that decides whether a second mouse earns its place in a travel setup.

Instagram Now Lets You Tune Its Algorithm, But There’s One Big Catch

The new controls promise users “agency” over their feed, but asking to see more from accounts you actually follow returns an error.

Instagram has expanded its algorithm personalization feature to the main feed, letting users specify which topics they want surfaced more or less often in recommendations.

Instagram chief Adam Mosseri framed the change as a matter of user control. “I believe it’s in our best interest as a business to empower people to shape Instagram into something that works for them, and that people should be able to have a meaningful amount of agency over the products they spend so much time in,” he wrote on Threads.

Though it turns out that agency has limits. The controls only accept interest-based topics, such as “rescue dogs” or “parenting humor”. Requesting “posts from people I follow” returns no results, which is obviously a sore point for creators whose posts rarely reach their own audiences. Mosseri conceded the tension: “Who you follow used to be a meaningful tool people had for shaping their own experience, and as recommendations took over the main feed that tool quietly stopped working”.

Instagram credits large language models for making its algorithms legible enough to personalize, and says it is “actively working on supporting requests for people, different moods or vibes, content types, and more” – potentially leading to a fully “bespoke” version of the app.
