The Logitech MX Master 4 is a wireless productivity mouse that continues Logitech's MX Master series. This model introduces small shape refinements and new hard plastic and dense silicone rubber finishes that replace the soft-touch rubberized coating, which was prone to wear over time, used on much of the previous Logitech MX Master 3S. Additional updates include a new side button for gesture controls and a new haptic button on the thumb rest. The haptic button opens a context overlay menu that you can customize in the software with various productivity shortcuts, including app-specific options for supported third-party programs.
Our Verdict
The Logitech MX Master 4 is an outstanding work mouse with superb build quality. It has a comfortable right-handed shape and connects wirelessly using the included USB-C receiver or via Bluetooth with up to three devices simultaneously. One of its standout features is its pair of dedicated scroll wheels made from premium-feeling aluminum. The top wheel can switch manually or automatically between a precise notched mode and a much faster free-scrolling mode. New to this version is an additional side button for customizable gestures and a new haptic button that opens a context menu, which you can also customize in software with helpful shortcuts, including app-specific options.

The Logitech MX Master 4 is satisfactory for casual gaming, but it isn't designed with FPS titles in mind. It's significantly heavier than dedicated FPS models, and both its sensor performance and click latency are too high for competitive play. Its sensor is also locked to a low polling rate to conserve battery life, which affects overall smoothness and consistency, especially if you're using a high-refresh-rate monitor, making it unsuitable for fast-paced or competitive shooters.
Superb build quality.
Extremely heavy compared to dedicated FPS models.
Click and sensor latency performance is only adequate for casual gaming.
Locked to a 125Hz polling rate.
The Logitech MX Master 4 is a reasonably good mouse for playing MMOs or MOBAs, although it's not designed for gaming. That said, it has a comfortable right-handed shape, excellent build quality, and a high number of customizable buttons. However, its sensor and click latency performance are only adequate for casual play, and it's locked to a low polling rate, so cursor movements don't look or feel as smooth or consistent as with a dedicated MMO gaming mouse.

The raw performance of the Logitech MX Master 4 is more than adequate for heavy productivity tasks and general desktop use, which is exactly what it's designed for. However, its click latency and sensor performance are only satisfactory for casual gaming. Its polling rate is also intentionally locked to 125Hz, which helps extend battery life compared to dedicated gaming mice but negatively affects overall consistency, particularly in motion and click latency. This is most noticeable when using a high-refresh-rate or high-resolution monitor, making the mouse unsuitable for competitive play.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The Logitech MX Master 4 is available in Graphite, Black, and Pale Gray color options. We bought a Pale Gray model, and you can see our unit's label here.
Logitech also offers a MX Master 4 for Mac variant, which is available in a Space Black or White Silver colorway. This variant has the same compatibility with Windows and macOS; the only difference is that it doesn't include a Logi BOLT USB-C receiver (though it is compatible with one).
Popular Mouse Comparisons
The Logitech MX Master 4 continues Logitech's longstanding MX Master productivity lineup. These mice are built for heavy office use, and their dual scroll wheels and ergonomic design have made them favorites for many. This version introduces subtle shape refinements and material updates: the soft-touch rubber finish from the previous Logitech MX Master 3S has been replaced with textured plastic across most of the body and silicone rubber grips on the thumb rest and right side. These changes should improve long-term durability, as the soft-touch coating on the 3S tended to degrade over time. Logitech has also added a new haptic button that opens a customizable shortcut menu called Actions Ring. On the downside, there aren't any notable performance improvements, particularly if you're hoping for higher polling rates to provide smoother, more consistent cursor movement on high-refresh-rate or high-resolution displays. It's also worth noting that many of the mouse's advanced features depend on Logitech's Options+ software, and there's no onboard memory to save settings. This may be a dealbreaker if you work in a locked-down environment with restrictions on installing third-party apps.
Despite these minor drawbacks, the MX Master 4 refines an already excellent design and remains the best productivity mouse for most users. If you're more budget-conscious, alternatives like the Keychron M6 or older Logitech models such as the Logitech M720 Triathlon offer similar comfort and features, including free-scrolling at a much lower price.

The Logitech MX Master 4 is the successor to the Logitech MX Master 3S. The MX Master 4 introduces subtle shape refinements, including larger click buttons and an expanded palm rest area. It also adds a new side button for gesture controls and a haptic button on the thumb rest, which you can customize in the software to display productivity shortcuts, including supported app-specific options. Also, the soft-touch rubber coating on the older MX Master 3S is replaced with hard textured plastic and dense silicone grips on the thumb rest and right side of the MX Master 4, which should provide better long-term durability.
The Keychron M6 and the Logitech MX Master 4 are wireless mice with similar ergonomic shapes and dual scroll wheels. The Keychron is much better suited for gaming, as it's significantly lighter and offers dramatically better click latency and a much higher maximum polling rate, resulting in smoother and more consistent performance for both competitive gaming and everyday productivity. In contrast, the Logitech is designed specifically for heavy productivity use. It features an additional side button for gesture controls and a haptic button that opens a customizable context action menu. It also has noticeably better build quality, with higher-grade materials.
The Logitech MX Master 4 and the Logitech Lift are both wireless productivity mice. The MX Master 4 has a more premium-feeling build quality with a pair of metal scroll wheels. The primary wheel can automatically switch between notched and free-scrolling modes. It also features a gesture button and a haptic button that you can customize in software. The Lift is less feature-rich but stands out for its vertical design, which you hold in a handshake-style orientation that can help reduce strain on your wrist, forearm, and shoulder. It's also available in a right- or left-handed version, while the MX Master 4 is only available as a right-handed model.
The Logitech MX Master 3 is an older model in the same lineup as the Logitech MX Master 4. Both share a similar overall shape, but the MX Master 4 is slightly more angular, with larger main click buttons and a wider thumb rest. It also adds an extra side button for gesture controls and introduces a customizable haptic button, while the MX Master 3 features a gesture button in the same location. The MX Master 4 also has quieter clicks and a wider CPI range, making it the better choice if you use a high-resolution display.
