Logitech has launched the Mobi Fold, its first foldable mouse, aimed at hybrid workers who want a proper mouse on the road but leave it behind because it will not fit in the bag.
The mouse folds to nearly half its size, and the fold is also the power switch: it turns on when opened and off when closed. Logitech says that on-and-off action, plus a small on-device AI model, helps stop accidental clicks as the device is folded away.
Battery is the headline spec. Logitech claims up to 30 days on a full charge, and up to 22 hours from a single minute on the cable. It connects to up to three devices over Bluetooth and works with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, iPadOS, and Linux.
The case Logitech is making
The company is pitching the Mobi Fold at what it calls an ‘on-the-go productivity gap’. It cites its own research showing that around three-quarters of professionals use a mouse, but only a quarter carry one into public or shared workspaces. Logitech also says the design reduces muscle strain by 22 per cent compared with a laptop trackpad, a figure drawn from its own testing.
The hardware is built for travel, with a drop-tested, dust-resistant body and a hinge Logitech rates for 15 years of use. The clicks are quieted for shared spaces such as trains and cafes.
The Mobi Fold costs $79.99 in the United States and £69.99 in the UK, with a business version at $89.99. It is available globally in graphite, with lilac and off-white in selected markets. Logitech, a Swiss company listed in Zurich and on the Nasdaq, launched it alongside a new Spotlight 2 presenter remote.
The open question is behavioural, not technical. The Mobi Fold only matters if the people who currently leave a mouse at home decide a folding one is worth packing. Logitech’s own numbers say most of them travel without one today.
