mouse picks up where the last model left off, introducing haptic feedback, an improved sensor, customizable shortcuts, and the same utterly silent clicks the mouse is known for on an omni-compatible platform for Windows, MacOS, Linux, and ChromeOS.
The 8,000 DPI sensor works on essentially any surface you'd use a mouse on (including that glass tabletop in your hotel room) with a large, comfortable form factor that fits the hand naturally.

I've been using the MX Master 4 for over half a year now with my main computer, and I'm a big fan of the mouse's customization, silent clicks, and overall ergonomics, but it really shines when you pair it with the Logi Options+ software, which opens up shortcuts and task automation.
