Logitech Mobi Fold Review: A Bendable Travel Mouse With a Few Wrinkles

First things first: The Logitech Mobi Fold isn't technically the first travel mouse with a morphing gimmick. Mice like the Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse (MS700) and the Microsoft Surface Arc sprang to mind when I got my hands on the Mobi Fold. The Mobi Fold feels soft and smooth to the touch, thanks to its silicone coating. Accordion-like ridges in the center bend and stretch so the front and back halves of the mouse can fold shut—and it works smoothly whether you use one hand or two. A magnet holds the ends tightly together.

Logitech says you can expect 15 years of daily mouse bending, or about 50,000 folds and unfolds, before the wheels start coming off (or, in the mouse’s case, the hinges start to give way). If you make it to 15 years, pat yourself on the back, as by then the battery will surely have given out and the soft coating likely worn away.

Unfolded, the mouse measures 1.3 by 2.2 by 4.8 inches (HWD) and weighs just 2.79 ounces. Clamping the mouse shut brings the body to less than an inch thick (0.83 inch, to be exact) and chops its depth to 2.6 inches. Mice are typically portable, but the Mobi is really portable. It easily slips into everything from jeans pockets to fanny packs. On my trip to Los Angeles to cover the Summer Game Fest, I slipped the Mobi into my jacket pocket and nearly forgot I did—until I had to empty my pockets at the TSA check-in.

But how well does it actually work? Fully opened, the mouse feels a little small for my hand and requires a full-palm grip to get the most out of it. If you don't use your full palm, you may run into some other issues.

Instead of a center scroll wheel, the Mobi sports a touch stripe down the center, with two very quiet left- and right-clickers on either side. But the active areas of the two clickers don't extend far enough down the mouse (for my hand, at least). If you’re not using a full palm grip, you’ll probably end up missing button presses, at times, because the clickers are short. Further complicating the issue, the mouse body doesn't hint at where the clickers' active areas are. A contrasting color or another indicator would help me suss out the clickable areas more easily.

Meanwhile, I didn’t realize that the mouse hides two extra buttons at the top and bottom of the touch stripe, which by default move you back and forth between web pages, replacing the controls you’d find under your thumb on some mice. They're hidden in plain sight; the touch stripe physically clicks when the top and bottom sections are pressed. On the upside, this design makes the mouse truly ambidextrous.

In real-world use, the touch stripe proved responsive but sometimes finicky. Obviously, it lacks the tactile response of a physical scroll wheel, but for the most part, it was fine for simple scrolling, requiring a light, feather-like touch to scroll long distances. A firmer touch would scroll the page only incrementally. I was tripped up by this a few times. Without realizing it, I'd fluctuate between light and heavy touches, making scrolling feel jittery. I think this could be solved by adding haptic feedback to give the scroll strip the tactile response you'd get from a rolling scroller.

One final design issue: The silicone surface, while comfortable and pleasing to touch, does get dirty pretty quickly. I opted for the off-white mouse, and after a week of handling and bouncing around in my bag, it picked up a lot of dust and grime. You can get other colors—graphite, lilac, and sand—but they are probably all prone to the same problem, though they might hide the dirt a little better.

Turning the mouse over, you’ll find a slight bulge near the front that houses the battery, a rechargeable 100mAh lithium-polymer (Li-Po) unit. Logitech claims that the mouse should last about 32 days on a full charge. The underside also houses a button that switches the mouse’s Bluetooth connection among three different paired devices. A small USB-C port on the tail end enables charging, and while it's a little awkward to use, you can use the mouse while it's plugged in.

In addition, you'll find two very thin skates at the very tip of both ends, just enough to give the mouse a decent glide. Meanwhile, the mouse’s sensor, a simple PixArt PAW3222, supports a maximum tracking resolution of 4,000 dots per inch (dpi), from a minimum of 400dpi. That’s lower than the Logitech MX Master 4’s 8,000dpi peak, but it matches the max of the recent Logitech Signature Comfort Plus M850 L.

In testing, the skates performed well on desk surfaces (and a variety of other spots, including my pants leg). Weirdly, though, they didn't do as well on my Razer gaming mouse pad. (To be fair, this particular pad is a few years old and no longer on the market.) It did work; it just didn't glide as well as it did on other surfaces.

Still, despite my issues, the Logitech Mobi Fold is a handy device. It's rare that I get to take a mouse "out in the field" for testing, as most of my travel is commuting back and forth from the office. Taking the Mobi Fold with me to a trade show proved to be the perfect testing ground, and I found myself constantly reaching for it, whether I was in my hotel room or a press room at an event.

The Mobi Fold gets a boost from Logitech’s utility software, Logi Options+. The Mobi doesn’t have as many functions as other Logitech mice—it’s missing the software's Actions Ring functionality, for example—but it still serves up some useful features, including the Logitech Flow software that lets you seamlessly work between two computers using the same input device, and adjust functions based on the program being used.

Logi Options+ is one of my favorite mouse utilities. It's well-designed and easy to use, and it doesn't try to bombard you with other programs to download. It also doesn't hit you over the head with functions, either. A quick walkthrough flashes across the screen at startup, and you're free to explore the mouse's options on your own.

The Mobi Fold can connect over Bluetooth or using Logitech’s 2.4GHz USB receiver, the Logi Bolt (though it's not included). In the mouse's favor, it'll work with almost any platform: It's compatible with Windows 10 and Windows 11, macOS 12 or later, iPadOS 15 or later, ChromeOS, Android 12 or later, and Linux.
