Logitech has just announced the Mobi Fold, a new $79.99 wireless mouse that folds in half to make it easier to carry around. It is aimed at people who regularly work from coffee shops, airports, or shared workspaces but don’t want to rely on a laptop trackpad or cram a full-sized mouse into their bag.
Logitech Mobi Fold Specifications
The mouse features a hinge mechanism that transforms it from a highly portable 66mm by 21mm block into a full-sized, ambidextrous mouse. When opened to its full 122mm by 33mm dimensions, Logitech points out that it helps alleviate forearm strain compared to using a trackpad, before easily folding back down to slip right into your pocket.
Folding the mouse is also how you control its power state. Opening the device turns it on, and snapping it shut turns it off. Because folding a mouse could easily trigger accidental clicks, Logitech built a small AI model into the device specifically to ignore button presses while the hinge is in motion. The exterior of the mouse is covered in a dust-resistant silicone sleeve, and the company says the internal hinge is rated to survive 15 years of daily use.
On the inside, the 79-gram mouse uses a 4,000 DPI PixArt PAW3222 optical sensor. For navigation, it features a touch panel that supports adaptive scrolling for both line-by-line reading and fast inertial scrolling. This touch area also includes two programmable buttons that you can customize using the Logi Options+ software. The main left and right buttons use Logitech’s quiet-click switches.
For connectivity, the Mobi Fold uses Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 and can pair with up to three devices at once, allowing you to switch between a laptop, tablet, and phone. It is also the first Logitech device to get Google Fast Pair certification, which makes connecting to Android devices and Chromebooks faster.
The built-in 100mAh battery is rated for about 32 days of use on a full charge. If it dies while you are out, a one-minute charge over USB-C will give you around 22 hours of battery life. However, you will have to provide your own cable, as Logitech does not include one in the box.
Alongside the standard model, there is an $89.99 business version that includes a Logi Bolt USB-C receiver for more secure connections and a longer two-year warranty. The standard Mobi Fold is available globally in Graphite, with Lilac and Off-White options available in certain markets.
