A data (PDF) because the device says the Mobi Fold is “designed to withstand 50,000 bumps and stretches.” Logitech said it tested the feature “in a controlled manner until problems or issues became apparent.”

The Mobi Fold seems to perform well, including ease of use and battery life. But the design of the mouse does not look good, especially for long-term use.
When folded, the mouse forms an almost 90-degree angle for your palm to rest on. I find the best mice to be the ones that fill the palm of my hand, and the Mobi Fold just doesn’t fit. The same goes for mice that look like Image of the MS700 and Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse, they are a little more forgiving here, they give a rounded, rounded shape when in use.

The Mobi Fold’s buttons don’t look like other mice. The left and right click buttons are flat, and Logitech replaced the scroll wheel with a touch panel. At the bottom of the touch screen there are two buttons with clear settings that can be configured with the Logi Options + program. But because the mouse has no memory, the device will not remember the input unless you activate the mouse with Options+ on the connected computer. Logitech’s devices have become heavily dependent on software in this way, which is a shame considering how easy it is to use many of the company’s wireless devices with multiple functions.
My favorite mice
When it comes to mouse travel, oh my going on for many years It has been Logitech MX everywhere 3 (or new, gentle Everywhere 3S). It weighs more than the Mobi Fold (3.49 ounces versus 2.79 ounces) and takes up more space (13.69-cubic-inches versus the Mobi Fold’s 4.83-cubic-inches when folded). But the spinning wheel and the advanced polishing wheel are very important.
Logitech’s announcement today says the Mobi Fold reduces “muscle stress by 22 percent compared to a laptop trackpad,” but I doubt the MX Anywhere 3 can reduce stress. And its button interface brings familiarity and creativity.
The MX Anywhere 3 is 3.96 x 2.56 x 1.35 inches. Like the Mobi Fold, it has no memory.

The MX Anywhere 3’s battery should also last longer. Logitech says the Bluetooth mouse can last up to 70 days without a charge compared to the Mobi Fold’s 30 days. Although, the Mobi Fold has a model advantage in its flexible, rechargeable battery.
The Mobi Fold is more portable, but the MX Anywhere 3 is still very small. When it comes to mouse comfort and usability, sometimes more is more.
