- Logitech is developing a wireless mouse that folds in half like a clamshell, with leaked marketing images obtained by WinFuture showing it small enough to fit in a pocket when folded.
- The new mouse is claimed to cause "22 percent less muscle strain" compared to a laptop trackpad, and its design is visually similar to Microsoft's Surface Arc and Lenovo's Yoga mice but folds in half rather than just flat.
- The foldable mouse replaces a traditional scroll wheel with an "Adaptive Touch Scrolling" trackpad-style area between the two mouse buttons, featuring a green light that indicates an active wireless connection.
- Logitech's new mouse can pair with up to three host devices via Bluetooth, and its symmetrical design supports both left- and right-handed users.
- Marketing materials indicate the mouse is designed to "match perfectly" with Logitech's Keys-to-Go 2 portable keyboard, and while only a gray version appears in the leaks, additional color options like white and lilac may follow.
- Price, battery life, and availability have not been disclosed and will require an official announcement from Logitech.
Why it matters: Logitech's clamshell design is a functional step beyond flat-folding rivals like the Surface Arc and Yoga Mouse, potentially giving mobile workers a pocket-friendly ergonomic upgrade. With 22% less muscle strain claimed and multi-device Bluetooth pairing, it targets the same hybrid-work crowd buying premium portables — but specs, pricing, and launch timing remain unknown, leaving it uncompetitive on paper until Logitech fills in the gaps.
