I will admit that the Mobi Fold is meant for a rather specific type of laptop user who is never fully satisfied with their PC's built-in touchpad and wants a super compact and lightweight alternative for traveling. But as someone who grew up in a world before trackpads became standard equipment, I totally get it. I'm faster and more productive when using a physical mouse and I'm more than willing to carry one with me, just as long as it doesn't weigh things down too much. And with the Mobi Fold, Logitech has created one of the most travel-friendly pointers on the market.

I will admit that the Mobi Fold is meant for a rather specific type of laptop user who is never fully satisfied with their PC's built-in touchpad and wants a super compact and lightweight alternative for traveling. But as someone who grew up in a world before trackpads became standard equipment, I totally get it. I'm faster and more productive when using a physical mouse and I'm more than willing to carry one with me, just as long as it doesn't weigh things down too much. And with the Mobi Fold, Logitech has created one of the most travel-friendly pointers on the market.
Hands on: For $80, the Mobi Fold delivers an impressively portable mouse that also offers more than just basic functionality. I will always choose a physical wheel over a touch pad for scrolling, but I’d happily endure finger swipes given how small this mouse folds up. While I’d still opt for my laptop’s touchpad, the Mobi Fold is an excellent accessory for taking advantage of the iPad’s recent multitasking upgrades.
But if you want the ultimate solution for working on the go, and especially if you're familiar with just how well Logitech polishes its ground-breaking tech, you'll already know this is a seriously good product.
Hands on: As someone who works from home and doesn't like to stray from my desk, I don't know that I'd buy the Mobi Fold. But for people who work during their commute or like to move around throughout the day, this is a great alternative to carrying a bulky mouse in their bag. Plus, it's just such a fun concept, and I find myself fidgeting with the mouse, folding and unfolding it while I work.
If you want a simple, no-nonsense mouse that will disappear in a pocket and has the potential to last for years, the Mobi Fold could be the gadget for you. At £69.99 it isn’t the cheapest, but it is cleverly made and could last years.
Hands on: As with many Logitech products, this device is aggressively competent. Some users might prefer the solidity of something heavier. Others might need lots of buttons. However, for users who simply want something to move a pointer around the screen, especially if you're happy using a Surface Arc-style device, the Mobi Fold works as advertised. Snapping it shut to pop it in a laptop bag is a bonus.
The Mobi Fold succeeds brilliantly at its primary, uncompromising mission—disappearing completely until the exact moment it is needed. Yet, for users who demand long-term physical comfort over absolute minimalism, the future of the travel mouse remains an exercise in calculated, unavoidable compromise.
