Logitech has just pulled the wraps off the brand-new MX Master 4, and if you’re a fan of the MX series, this one’s a bit of a leap forward. We’re talking haptic feedback, smarter shortcuts, stronger connectivity, and a design that feels purpose-built for people who spend serious hours at their desks.
Haptics Come to MX
This is the first MX mouse with haptics – subtle, customisable vibrations that give you tactile feedback when scrolling, navigating or selecting. It sounds like a small detail, but if you’re editing video, pushing pixels in Photoshop, or even wrangling spreadsheets, that extra bit of precision makes a difference. It’s an immersion thing – you feel more connected to the work you’re doing.
Meet the Actions Ring
One of the headline features is the Actions Ring, a digital overlay you trigger via Logitech’s Logi Options+ software. It’s like having a shortcut wheel that pops up anywhere on your screen, with app-specific commands ready to go. Think one-tap Photoshop tools or automating tedious Excel functions. Logitech reckons this can cut repetitive movements by up to 63% – and if you’ve ever ended a day with mouse hand fatigue, that’s a stat worth paying attention to.
Built for Flow
The MX Master 4 isn’t just about software tricks – it’s got hardware chops too. A new high-performance chip and optimised antenna deliver 2x stronger connectivity than its predecessor. There’s also a new USB-C dongle for quick pairing across laptops, desktops and tablets. Basically, it just works – no drops, no lag.
On the durability side, Logitech has gone with stain-resistant materials and a tougher shell that’s easy to keep clean, designed to survive the grind of daily professional use.
For the Business Crowd
If you’re in an office setting, there’s a Business edition too. IT admins can deploy these across an organisation and even monitor them remotely with Logitech Sync – no crawling under desks needed. It also plays nicely with Logi Bolt for a rock-solid connection in busy workplaces.
Sustainability Wins
Logitech has been making genuine moves on sustainability, and the MX Master 4 continues that story. It’s built with 48% post-consumer recycled plastic, a low-carbon aluminium thumbwheel, and even a battery that uses 100% recycled cobalt. The packaging is paper-based, responsibly sourced, and the design is easy to disassemble for recycling down the track.

Price and Availability
The MX Master 4 lands in Graphite and Pale Grey in Australia for $199.95 AUD, and there’s a Mac-specific White Silver version too. If you pick one up, Logitech is also throwing in a one-month Adobe Creative Cloud membership (Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere Pro and more) to sweeten the deal.
The MX Master 4 for Business is also available now in Graphite through Logitech’s site and authorised resellers, also at $199.95 AUD.
This is the kind of mouse that feels like an incremental update on paper, but the addition of haptics and the Actions Ring could change how a lot of people work day-to-day. If you’re someone who lives in creative tools or just wants to speed up the way you move through your workflow, this one’s worth a closer look.
