MagSpeed adaptive scroll-wheel

The speed-adaptive scroll wheel shifts between two scrolling modes automatically. As you scroll faster, it will automatically shift from line-by-line scrolling to free-spinning.

• Line-by-line (ratchet) mode — ideal for precise navigation of items and lists.

• Hyper-fast (free-spin) mode — near-frictionless spinning, letting you fly through long documents and web pages.

Switch modes manually

You can also manually switch between modes by pressing the mode shift button.

By default, mode shift is assigned to the button on top of the mouse. 

In the Logitech Options+ Software, you can decide to disable SmartShift if you prefer to stay in a single scrolling mode and always shift manually. You can also adjust the SmartShift sensitivity, which will change the speed required to automatically shift into free spinning. The scrolling force can also be adjusted.

Thumb wheel

Scroll side to side effortlessly with a stroke of your thumb.

Install Logitech Options+ software to extend thumb wheel capabilities and more: 

• Adjust thumbwheel scrolling speed, and direction

• Enable app-specific settings for the thumbwheel

  • Zoom in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint

  • Adjust brush size in Adobe Photoshop

  • Navigate your timeline in Adobe Premiere Pro

  • Switch between tabs in the browser

  • Adjust volume

  • Assign custom keystrokes to the wheel rotation (up and down)

Gesture Button

Install Logitech Options + software to enable gestures.

To use the gesture button:

Back/Forward buttons

Conveniently located, the back and forward buttons enhance navigation and simplify tasks.

To move back and forward:

• Press the back or forward button to navigate web or document pages, depending on the location of the mouse pointer.

8000 DPI sensor

Install Logitech Options+ software to enable the new capabilities of the Darkfield 8000 DPI Sensor 

By default, the MX Master 4 has a 1000 DPI configuration

In the Logitech Options+ Software, you can extend the sensor range to up to 8000 DPI.

Enabling this option will allow you to work faster and more precisely, allowing you to adjust the pointer speed to match high resolution monitors.

App-Specific Settings

Your mouse buttons can be assigned to perform different functions for different applications. For instance, you can assign the thumb wheel to do horizontal scrolling in Microsoft Excel and zoom in Microsoft PowerPoint. 

When installing Logitech options+ , you will have the possibility to install predefined app-specific settings that will adapt the mouse button behavior to be optimized in selected applications.

Here are the app specific settings we have created for you on the mouse itself (scroll down to learn more about the Actions Ring app-specific customization):

With these settings, the Gesture button and the wheel mode-shift button are keeping the same functionality across all applications. 

Each of these settings can be customized manually, for any application.
