We’re big fans of the Logitech MX Master 4; it’s a comfortable productivity mouse with a bunch of clever features. One of the biggest changes from its predecessor was the addition of haptic feedback, confirming every click and action you take. In a recent update, the Logitech MX Master 4 will pair even more nicely with Windows 11 PCs, providing haptic feedback at an operating system level.
It means that rearranging windows or aligning objects in Microsoft programs, like PowerPoint, will produce a subtle vibration through the mouse, confirming the action. It’s similar to the haptic feedback you get from phones and trackpads, aimed at making everything you do feel satisfying and tactile.
The integration between Logitech’s mouse and Windows 11 is live now via a firmware update using Logi Options+. MX Master 4 mice shipped from spring onwards will already have the required firmware out of the box.
According to Logitech, support for additional haptic feedback across more Windows and third-party apps will arrive “in the coming months”. I could see haptic feedback helping in a lot of creative apps, like when using video editing software to line up clips precisely. Plus, the little hit of dopamine that comes from a little vibration wouldn’t go astray.
Although Logitech only confirmed Windows 11 integration for the MX Master 4, I’d be keen to see some form of Mac functionality in the future. Using a MacBook trackpad is very satisfying, and I’d enjoy getting that haptic feedback from an external mouse, too.
