Existing users can access the feature now, but there will also be new units shipping in Autumn 2026 which will support the feature out-of-the box, with new support for additional haptic feedback coming to both Windows 11 and third-party applications soon.

With advanced haptics in Windows 11, everyday interactions are more responsive, clear, and natural, says Dave Dame, Senior Director of Human Centered Design, Microsoft. MX Master 4 delivers that experience from day
one, extending interactions beyond the screen and setting a new bar for how hardware and software come together.

Released in September 2025, the MX Master 4 is undoubtedly Logitech's best mouse to date - I've been using one for several months now. Are you a pro? Subscribe to our newsletter Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get

Haptics were a large selling point at the launch , promising to give users more interaction with their accessory across a range of tasks. Situated under where the user's thumb rests, the mouse's haptic pad can be customized to provide interaction on a variety of tasks, from scrolling to selection and navigation.

Logitech is at the forefront of haptic innovation and, by working in close collaboration with Microsoft, we ensure our users are the first to experience the next generation of productivity," says Art OGnimh, General Manager of Mouse and Keyboard Solutions at Logitech.

"We integrated advanced haptic hardware into the MX Master 4 ahead of the curve, anticipating a shift toward more immersive operating systems . With
the launch of Windows 11, that engineering foresight pays off. We have delivered a zero-friction, meaningful experience that remains the only one of its kind in the industry.
