YOU GUYS — I have officially found my new obsession and it's this mouse! Logitech just dropped the Mobi Fold and it is basically a modernized version of Microsoft’s old Arc line, but miniaturized to an absurd degree. When you fold it flat, it becomes a 2.2x2.5 inch rectangle that’s less than one inch thick and weighs barely more than two ounces — seriously! It can literally disappear into the smallest bag or pocket (even those tiny pants pockets), which is exactly what I need when my laptop trackpad isn't cutting it on the road. The buttons are physical and dampened so they won't annoy anyone in a coffee shop, there’s a touch surface that doubles as your scroll wheel — you can even press down on the hinge for a middle click! And before you worry about battery: Logitech claims 30 days of runtime, which I already saw at 70% after two and a half weeks, plus plug it in for sixty seconds to add twenty-two hours of juice.
Now let me get real with you because there are some trade-offs worth discussing upfront. The design is unapologetically geometric so your thumb doesn't really have anywhere to rest like it would on an ergonomic mouse, and scrolling on a touchpad just can’t beat the smoothness of a physical wheel — but that’s what you pay for extreme portability! One thing that might catch people off guard: there is no cable in the box (borrow yours from your phone) and if you need a dedicated wireless dongle instead of Bluetooth you have to grab the business model version for an extra $10. The price sits at $80, which I know can be steep for a travel mouse, but it genuinely fixes that specific "too big to carry; too small to use" dilemma I've had forever.
Here is my final take: if you’re the kind of person who constantly reaches for your laptop trackpad and hates using it because it feels slow, this is probably worth grabbing. There are two other things to consider though — Logitech still makes the MX Anywhere 3S ($90), which has a scroll wheel with Magspeed tech and longer battery life (and three extra buttons!), so if you need all that functionality, buy the 3S instead since it isn't much bigger anyway. But for the absolute minimalists who want something less than an inch thick they can toss in their pocket every day — yeah, get the Mobi Fold. It’s genuinely one of the cleverest form factors I’ve seen hit the market recently and I know I'll be recommending it to half my team by Friday.
