Logitech Unveils Mobi Fold: A Foldable Travel Mouse with Touch Panel Controls
Logitech has released the Mobi Fold, its first foldable mouse, which collapses to roughly 2.5 x 2.5 inches and weighs 79 grams for travel portability. The $79.99 device features a touch panel in place of a scroll wheel, silent clicks, Bluetooth connectivity for up to three devices, and a replaceable rechargeable battery rated for 30 days per charge. It targets hybrid workers who own a mouse but leave it behind due to bulk, though reviewers note its flat, tent-like ergonomics are a meaningful trade-off for the compact form factor.
Logitech's Mobi Fold is the company's first foldable mouse, priced at $79.99 and available in graphite, off-white, lilac, and sand colorways. When folded, it measures approximately 2.5 x 2.5 inches and under one inch thick, making it pocketable; unfolding it powers the device on automatically, while folding it shuts it off — a mechanism Logitech says incorporates an on-device AI model to prevent accidental clicks during the folding action. The hinge is rated for 15 years of daily use (cited as 50,000 fold cycles in Logitech's own datasheet), and the body is wrapped in a dust-resistant silicone skin with a pleated section over the hinge. In place of a traditional scroll wheel, the Mobi Fold uses a touch-sensitive panel for adaptive scrolling and two programmable buttons, all customizable via the Logi Options+ app, though the device lacks onboard memory so settings must be configured per paired computer. Battery life is rated at 30 days on a full charge, with a one-minute quick charge delivering up to 22 hours; the battery is user-replaceable behind a magnetic cover. Multiple reviewers praised its portability and battery performance but flagged ergonomic limitations — the flat, angular tent shape leaves little room for thumb or pinky support — and noted that the touch panel scrolling, while functional, does not match the feel of a physical scroll wheel. A business version at $89.99 adds a Logi Bolt USB-C receiver and Logi Sync support for IT management.
What's missing
Logitech's claimed 22% muscle-strain reduction compared to a laptop trackpad comes from its own internal testing; no independent methodology or peer-reviewed validation is cited by any source. Additionally, while the hinge is rated for 15 years of daily use under controlled conditions, the actual warranty period is only two years for EMEA customers, and no source confirmed the battery replacement cost or part availability.
How coverage differed
The Verge and Engadget offered hands-on assessments that were measured but candid about ergonomic shortcomings, while TechRadar's preview was notably more enthusiastic and promotional in tone. Ars Technica was the most critical, explicitly arguing that Logitech's own MX Anywhere 3 remains a superior travel mouse for most users despite being less compact.

Anthropic Disables Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI Models Globally After US Government Export Control Order
Anthropic has suspended all public access to its two most advanced AI models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, after the US Commerce Department issued an export control directive ordering the company to block foreign nationals from accessing them on national security grounds. The order came just three days after Fable 5's public launch and reportedly stems from government concerns about a potential jailbreak that could enable the models to assist with cyberattacks, though Anthropic says it received only verbal evidence of a narrow, non-universal vulnerability. The shutdown affects all customers globally — including enterprise users and Anthropic employees — and marks a significant escalation of US efforts to restrict foreign access to advanced AI models themselves, rather than just the chips that power them.
