Logitech has announced its vibrating MX Master 4 mouse that debuted last September now natively supports Windows 11’s Advanced Haptics. A new firmware update now available adds haptic feedback effects to mundane actions like snapping windows during a resize and aligning PowerPoint objects, with additional effects being rolled out in the coming months.
“We don’t like to raise prices, but we have to,” Logitech CFO Matteo Anversa said during an earnings call on Tuesday. “Some products, the price didn’t change. Others increased double-digit, and we have a bunch of products in the middle.”
Last week, users spotted price increases across the company’s products, like the MX Master 3S mouse and the Pro X TKL keyboard, both of which now cost $20 more.
Specifically, “the continuing uncertainty of the tariff environment,” according to a press release.
There are repair guides and replacement parts available for more than 20 Logitech devices, including keyboards, headsets, and MX / G series mice, on the iFixit-hosted Logitech Repair Hub — and now you can get them in 62 countries.
That includes the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, and across the EU, following Logitech’s iFixit partnership initially launching in the US. Repair guides are also available in multiple languages.
Since December 2021, I’ve never had to think about charging my Logitech wireless gaming mouse. It charges just by sitting atop this pricey mousepad. No alignment necessary. And now, that pricey mousepad is the best price it’s ever been: $87 at Amazon. That’s still cash, but seriously: I’ve never looked back.

The updates, announced at its Logi Play 2024 event, include the Pro 2 Lightspeed gaming mouse, a new asymmetrical mouse, new sim racing hardware, and more.
The new head of Logitech discusses the company’s return to growth and plans to reduce its carbon footprint by half.
The joint venture between Logitech and Steelcase, which was formally called Project Ghost when we tested it back in May, has been officially renamed Ocular View and is “now orderable in North America and select European countries.”
Designed to be a more affordable alternative to Google’s Project Starline, Ocular View uses off-the-shelf tech and a custom booth to polish the videoconferencing experience.
