The foldable trend has reached phones and laptops, and Logitech may be taking it to PC accessories next. According to leaked marketing images reported by WinFuture, the company is working on an ultra-portable wireless mouse that folds shut like a tiny clamshell.
Is this Logitech’s answer to Microsoft’s Arc Mouse?
The mouse appears to draw clear inspiration from Microsoft’s Surface Arc mouse, launched in 2017. Microsoft’s version could snap flat for easier storage, but Logitech’s leaked design reportedly goes step further by folding inward like a small clamshell. That could make it even easier to slip into a laptop bag or pocket.
Logitech also seems to be dropping the traditional scroll wheel to keep the design slim. In its place, the leaked images show a touch-sensitive strip between the left and right buttons. WinFuture refers to this as “Adaptive Touch Scrolling,” which is expected to mimic scroll-wheel behavior through swipes.
Could a folding mouse actually be useful?
The biggest appeal of this mouse is portability, which is a big ask these days among digital nomads and professionals who travel frequently for work. Laptop trackpads are fine for quick work, but many people still prefer a proper mouse for longer sessions. A foldable design could offer a sweetspot of being more comfortable than a trackpad without taking up much space.
The leaked mouse is also said to support Bluetooth pairing with up to three devices and an ambidextrous design for both left- and right-handed users. Key details are still missing, including DPI, battery life, price, and release date. That said, since the marketing details of the mouse have already surfaced, the official launch can’t be that far off.
