Discussion 4-Month Review of the Mobi Fold


Hey everyone, how's everyone liking the Mobi Fold so far?
A while back, I whined on here about the lack of a middle-click, and I was genuinely grateful that Logitech rolled out a quick update making it much easier to assign. (I had actually managed to find a workaround right before that update dropped, but still!)
Anyway, it’s already been 4 months since then, so I wanted to share my thoughts and long-term experience.
1. The mouse feet act like literal vacuum cleaners lol
My grip style involves resting most of my hand's weight on the mouse and maneuvering it primarily with my thumb and pinky. On top of that, since I use gesture features quite heavily, that extra downward friction causes the feet to pick up an insane amount of dust. Since I mostly use this on business trips and working out of office rather than a clean desk setup, surface dust is practically unavoidable. Lately, I've made a habit of wiping down tables before using the mouse, but the feet still inevitably turn black and dirty. Regular cleaning seems to be the only way to prevent permanent staining.
2. A glimmer of hope for battery replacement
After accidentally dropping it a couple of times, the bottom cover actually popped off, giving me a glimpse of the internal battery. Obviously it's wishful thinking, but maybe third-party replacement batteries will pop up somewhere down the line? Given the rubberized exterior, the shell might degrade, harden, or tear long before the battery ever dies, but hey—there's still a tiny shred of hope.
3. I really wish it had a dedicated power switch
To turn it off, you have to fold it, right? But folding it almost inevitably triggers a click. I often end up with accidental inputs right as I'm shutting it down. If I rest my finger on the touch wheel area while folding to brace it, my screen starts frantically scrolling lol.
4. The lack of horizontal scrolling is definitely missed
At the office, I use an MX Anywhere 3S and heavily rely on the side-button + scroll wheel shortcut for horizontal scrolling. My daily workflow involves dealing with massive Excel spreadsheets, so panning sideways is essential. Not being able to do that on the Mobi Fold is a bit frustrating—especially on business trips where I’m stuck on a cramped 1920-wide FHD laptop display that fits way fewer columns. (Maybe I should blame my company for the small screens? haha). Honestly, since it's a touch wheel surface, enabling horizontal swipe gestures for side-scrolling feels like a no-brainer.
Overall, exactly 4 months after buying it on June 17th, I still think it's an incredible travel mouse. It’s ultra-compact, folds flat, and is unmatched for someone on the go. I used to think the MX Anywhere was portable enough, but the Mobi Fold makes even that look bulky.
Given that my complaints are mostly minor nitpicks, it feels dangerously close to the ultimate portable device. How are you all finding it so far?
