Logitech MX Master wireless mouse has thumb wheel and lasts up to 40 days

Logitech teases the MX Master, the company's new wireless flagship mouse based on its Darkfield laser tracking technology. Special features include a speed-adaptive scroll wheel, a new thumbwheel for side-to-side scrolling and page switching and optimizations for usage with multiple screens and devices. The MX Master supports Bluetooth 4.0 as well as Logitech's Unifying technology and promises to last up to 40 days on a single charge.

Charging is reportedly quite rapid, Logitech claims just four minutes of charging will give you one day of usage and you can continue to use the mouse while charging as this is done via micro-USB cable.

The Logitech MX Master hits the market in April for $99.99 (99.99EUR).

Today Logitech opened up a world of new possibilities with the introduction of the Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse. Encompassing the best of Logitech's industry-leading mouse innovations into a hand-sculpted design, the MX Master is the new paradigm for precise, fast, comfortable computer navigation. For people who work across multiple screens, devices and operating systems, the new mouse is optimized for controlling this complex environment with precision.

"The Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse is a beautifully designed, customizable mouse with the versatility of control, precision and speed," said Charlotte Johs, global vice president of computer peripherals at Logitech. "The numerous navigation options and advanced features make it our best mouse ever."

The latest mouse in a lineage that includes the Logitech MX Revolution and Logitech Performance MX, the Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse is perfectly sculpted for comfort, and hand-crafted for control and speed. The mouse's shape supports your hand and wrist in a natural position making it easy to enjoy a fluid experience with its well-­positioned buttons and wheels.

It has a speed-adaptive scroll wheel that lets you auto-shift from click-to-click to hyper-fast scrolling, and a unique thumbwheel for side-to-side scrolling and page switching. Connect to your Windows or Mac computer through the included Logitech Unifying Receiver or Bluetooth® Smart technology, and you can pair the Logitech MX Master Wireless Mouse with up to three devices, allowing you to work on your desktop, laptop, or tablet. With a touch of the Logitech Easy-Switch button, you can freely switch between each device, and it has a button that can be customized to replicate gesture controls on Mac computers so you can accomplish more, faster.

For customization, Logitech Options software lets you customize the buttons and actions to suit your needs. And the Logitech Darkfield Laser offers superior tracking on virtually any surface, even on glass and high-gloss surfaces.

The MX Master has a rechargeable battery that lasts for up to 40 days on a full charge depending on usage, and an indicator light will notify you when the battery is getting low. Four minutes of charging gives you one day of usage and you can continue using the mouse while it charges, eliminating any risk of downtime.
