Meet Mobi Fold - creased popster or clever portable mouse
Logitech has unveiled the Mobi Fold mouse – a portable, foldable pointing device that could easily double as a replacement for a chunkier desktop version.It's the first foldable for Logitech, although alternatives have long been available. When you unfold it, it resembles something like Microsoft's Surface Arc mouse.Clad in pleasing materials, the Mobi Fold is available in a variety of colors: Graphite, Lilac, and Off White. The Graphite version feels like it will be more hard-wearing, and that is the aim of this device: lug it around with a laptop and whip it out to replace the inevitable inaccuracy of a trackpad.
The mouse weighs in at 79 g, and its party trick – a fold like a '90s flip phone, or the considerably more expensive 2020s alternative – makes it very portable. Open it, and the device is ready for action. Close it, and the mouse is effectively dead. Logitech claims this is due to an "on-device AI model," although we imagine that simple microswitches would have performed more than adequately. But no vendor shall be left standing at the platform when the AI hype train leaves!
The hinge is rated for 15 years, according to Logitech (although the warranty is considerably less – two years for EMEA customers), and the mouse is comfortable to use when expanded.
