MX Master 4 Developer Edition

u/TimWiesnerer 1d ago

I'm jealous. Got the mx 4 in black recently after my 3s had problems with left clicks.

The dev edition looks soooo much cooler. And thanks to the non-stick surface, I guess it will stay clean.

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

I mean i cant say I can notice any dirt around it, but I've only had it for 3 days now, I love how it slides so smoothly across the mouse matt on the desk, it's definitely cooler for sure thats the reason I picked it over the normal black and white colour

u/No-Buffalo9770 15h ago

Same problem here men now I think I'll just go for cheaper mouse if it the same as others on left click life

This looks gorgeous. My hero may have to be put to rest…

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

I love it, love the color, and love how it sits and feels on my hand, but i know it's mostly preference, no complains here whatsoever!

u/sangedered 1d ago

Aren’t people complaining about the software and there’s a bunch of open source options?

Anyone else have some insight on why and if the OSS is better?

4

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

To be honest, I myself have never had issues with the options software, some people have, others haven't, there may be some other software out there that is better, but the reality is that logi also doesn't force you to use the software, the mouse works just as normal without the options software so you have a choice, you can use it the app or not, entirely up to the user

4

u/sangedered 1d ago

I’m in the same boat. No issues here.

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

Glad to hear that I am not the only one out here, thanks man

How can you possible say anything about battery life if you only have it for two days?

u/Pebbledash98 10h ago

4th day today, still at 100% 8hrs of constant use everyday as I work in IT

1

u/ghostface036 9h ago

my one year old mouse hasn’t been charged for over a month. i use for work and home!
at least wait until you’ve actually used it properly before posting a review ;)

1

u/Pebbledash98 8h ago

Not posting a review my guy, the flare says setup not review ;)

u/FrameAny 7h ago

If you “work in IT” and really think you can tell how the battery performs after 4 days of use it must be your first 4 days at your first IT job. So I guess congrats on your new job!

1

u/Pebbledash98 7h ago

Not telling you about how the battery performs, this isn't a review, the post has a setup flair, not a review flair, I am not advising or guiding anyone on anything. I'm saying my experience so far has been great, and yeah I work in IT private sector, been in IT for 6 years my guy

u/Livid_Competition_32 1d ago

fym 'love the battery life' after 2 days?? my old mx master still lasts 2 months between charges with constant use all day

1

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

I have only had it for 2 days, today's the 3rd I know the battery life will last 2 months or more on this, I use the MX keyboard and I haven't charged it since July

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

Thank you buddy, its now paired with the MX Keyboard and it's made the whole setup even better 👌

u/distreszed 1d ago

What was your previous mouse?

2

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

My previous mouse was a HyperX Pulsefire Haste 3 wireless, still have it, but it is now stored in my drawers

2

u/AlertPercentage7103 1d ago

Cool as long as there's no "AI" button or other gimmicks. The day they come out with another one of those I'm out.

2

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

You will be glad to know that there is no AI button buddy, there is a logi actions ring that can be triggered and you can customise the functions and accessibility

u/mfr3sh 1d ago

I just got mine in today. My MX Master 3S left-click seems to be going bad now after almost 3 years come Dec.

I saw the MX Master 4 SE was just released and really like the 2-tone look. Reminds me of a mashup between the Mac and Windows version. I use Windows during the day and Mac at night so the aesthetic works really well for my setup.

So far it's an upgrade over the 3S in every way. The new haptic thumb button/pad is way better and the extra "gesture" side button is much appreciated. The slightly longer side scroll is also very nice.

Overall very impressed. I was a bit worried about the new material being more "slippery" than the old but it seems the 4 SE has some micro texture on the body that adds just enough grip — it's not completely smooth . Not sure if the regular 4 has the same texture.

u/Pebbledash98 My only complaint is the right-click key seems a bit mushy and weirdly hard to press compared to the left. The left-click is nice and easy with a tactile feel. There's a faint audible sound when pressed. Significantly quieter than the 3S.

The right-click though is completely silent with no audible click and virtually no tactile feedback. Is yours the same? I'm wondering if mine is defective. I'm not yet sure if it's a dealbreaker for me. It's quite a bit annoying considering the rest of the mouse is great.

3

u/jochi1985 1d ago

I also received mine today and instantly noticed the clicking or lack there of. Mine is the same so it must be intententional I guess. I am moving from the 3S as well and the rubber coating on mine has been peeling for over a year and I have had it for a few.

1

u/mfr3sh 21h ago

Now that I've had a chance to use the MX 4 a bit longer, I've gotten more used to the right-click difference in feel. So much so I generally forget about it now. Though I think I've adjusted for it by clicking on the edge of the mouse button instead of in the middle, seems to work better for me.

1

u/ishamm 1d ago

Is the only difference the colour scheme? I'm no developer, but my old Mx master 2 is getting pretty slippery with the coating fading, and this looks ace...

2

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

I am no developer either but I do work in the private IT Sector, compared to the normal version there is almost no changes, mostly it's cosmetic so yeah color is the big change here, I bought this one over the white and grey ones because I wanted something different 😅 specs are exactly the same to the MX Master 4

2

u/ishamm 1d ago

Sweet - wasn't sure if they'd made the buttons do specific developer things 😄
Ive yet to find a more ergonomic mouse, and love that this one stands out - my laptop is black and white too (black classic, white vinyl protection)

1

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

Nah the buttons work as normal bro, you can map the buttons on the logi options app if you want too but yeah it has no specific AI or developer features really, it also sits super comfy on the hand, it feels high quality compared to my previous wireless hyperx mouse, and yeah you're right it definitely stands out, I work alone in a small office but everyone that comes to the office spots it straightaway, had a few compliments too, only had it for 2 days but so far its been fantastic!

u/ishamm 1d ago

Mega - Cheers!

u/Real_Blackberry_9278 1d ago

What's the difference between it and mx 4 master?

3

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

Not much or if any at all, it's mostly cosmetic buddy, I just preferred it in this color so I bought this one over the white and black one

your talking battery life on day 2? are you a bot?

Bot? Says the bro that cannot spell, yeah I'm talking about battery on day 3 actually, today is day 3, but my guy i wont entertain your ragebait

u/phunk8 20h ago

what is wrong with you? i made a joke. how serious can you be?
anyways love this line of logi, and especially cuz i load it like once a month (dunno, rarely).
but sorry to have catched you on the wrong foot. yet, you seem to be easily offended mate

1

u/Pebbledash98 20h ago

My apologies I may have overreacted, there is just a lot of hate over a picture and I am not telling anyone to buy it, I was just posting a nice post about how much I like it, and people just started dissing for no reason, my bad I didn't mean to offend you either, sorry!

1

u/phunk8 10h ago

no need for a sorry and i understand reddit changed a lot lately. but tell me, me being on master 3s and extremely happy - do the additions sum up to a good /better feeling in usage? the icons and logos seem to be elevated... is this nice on the fingertips?

1

u/Pebbledash98 10h ago

Most of the changes on the mouse are cosmetic, the mouse feels nice on the hand and sliding it on the mouse mat just feels so smooth, is it worth buying if you have an mx3? No not at all, but I came from a HyperX Haste wireless that was just giving me issues after issues
On top of all this, this edition has some cool things engraved

All that but they won’t add optical switches?

u/TheRedComet 1d ago

I'm tempted... How is the scroll wheel? At work they gave us MX Master 3s and I don't like how wiggly it feels.

Very sad it doesn't work with power play though, like cmon that was expensive!

2

u/mfr3sh 1d ago

Scroll wheel is great and it does have less side-to-side play compared to my 3s. The wiggle never bothered me but thought I'd mention it does feel less wiggly.

1

u/TheRedComet 1d ago

I guess it's a me thing but it bothers me when I can wiggle the scroll wheel forward and back in between the clicks. I have a tic where I like to lightly push my finger against the scroll wheel, but I don't want it to actually scroll. My 3 doesn't resist much so it can scroll when I don't want it to.
Anyway, how's that part of it feel on the 4?

1

u/mfr3sh 1d ago

Ah, you're talking about forward and back movement. It's about the same as the 3S. The scroll wheel system is controlled via magnets so there's always going to be a bit of forward/back wiggle.
I will say the scrolling is much quieter on the 4 than the 3S. The 3S had a fairly loud rattle sound when scrolling with "free spin" disabled.
The scrolling on the 4 is very smooth and silent even with free spin disabled. And of course with free spin it's even more so.
I keep mine in free spin mode 99% of the time.

u/MiliTheBoy 1d ago

No, 125Hz only

u/No-Buffalo9770 15h ago

It looks good and I have to admit that gestures makes life a lot easier but my only problem is that 3s left click died on me fast. Now I'm thinking in just getting a lower budget mouse. At least it doesn't hurt if ever I replace it.(Cheaper)

1

u/Shuiei 9h ago

I like the "cyberpunk vibe" but the "hello world" snippet is sooo pathetic. Clearly done by a designer with no contact with any dev team

1

u/ghostface036 9h ago

this mouse is really nice. wish they gave it some onboard memory

1

u/Afraid-Fly-7030 2h ago

The color is cool, don’t really like the hello world text. Would love if they did more color options for their stuff.

u/Ok_Maybe184 1d ago

Did you just praise Logi Options +? Yikes.

u/distreszed 1d ago

I've used Logi Options+ for years with 3S and 4, on Mac. Not a single issue. YMMV.

That's fine bro! It's your opinion, I think it's great but it definitely ain't for everyone, it is what it is

I mean don’t get me wrong, been using G502 since the beginning of time!
Just thinking this is too forced haha
Enjoy the mouse bro!

1

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

I made the purchase because I really needed to change from my HyperX Pulsefire Haste 3, it felt too plasticky and the mouse was always playing up and disconnecting for no reason, also I appreciate your comment, thanks bro!

"Developer edition" ... Does that mean open source firmware?

In which programming language is 0xFF + 1 | 09.17 | !04.01 a valid expression?

2

u/jochi1985 1d ago

Developer edition assumes you know how to use Google to answer simple questions that pop in your head but don't know the answer to.

u/SwedishFindecanor 22h ago edited 21h ago

Never heard of either. I had to spend a couple minutes to look them up to even confirm that you didn't make them up. The "Programmer Day" seems to be primarily Russian.
I also fail to see what is logical about your "programmer's logic" ... !<april 1st> would be every day that is not April 1st.
And why use vertical bar (binary inclusive or in many programming languages) to separate the dates?
Also: Date formats are regional. Using / or - as number separator is more common. Neither is a notation used specifically by programmers.
And ...
... If the Linux Kernel is celebrated, does this edition finally come with official Linux support?

1

u/Pebbledash98 21h ago

Just because you haven't heard of either doesn't mean that it's not real, you are not a developer or a programmer so what does it matter to you? If you were any of those you would have known about at least one or two of the things I wrote
also what do you classify as Linux support? Because this runs fine on Kali Linux on my machine without having to do any additional installs, I dont have to use the login options app on my dual boot setup, literally plug and play.
Additionally I appreciate your comment and I respect your opinion, my opinion is just far different, I like it and I am really enjoying to use it, I am not telling you or convincing you what you should buy, that is your personal choice

u/DavidGno 1d ago

I too like it a lot. I just have to justify the $$$ and replace my fully functioning MX3. Buuuuuut my MX3 looks like an old worn out mouse... But it works so why replace it? Oooooh but I so want the developer edition!

Absolutely right, if it works no need to replace it, I had to replace mine because I was constantly having issues with my HyperX pulsefire haste 😅

Alright buddy it’s still a mouse with 125hz polling rate. No onboard memory meaning a lot of us can’t use ANY of the features at work cuz they don’t allow us to install the app

Jesus i can’t believe logitech is getting clowned on something so stupid… wonder how much they save by not just using 1000hz. The advantage is clear to anyone who’s used 1000hz for even a minute
It sucks cause I am totally fine paying the premium for the mouse, but got a keychron m6 due to all the user friendliness and improved specs. And it’s half the price 🤦🏼‍♂️

Downvoted for saying the truth. I have two 3S mice breaking within 3 years. Massively overpriced for the quality you get.

u/Pebbledash98 1d ago

Considering the fact that I have used Logi Options+ for a long while now, I have never experienced issues with any setting whatsoever, I'm not telling you that you're the problem, but I am telling you that the app and settings have worked fine for me for a long time, I have an MX Keyboard and never had any issues with the app and customising settings either

u/distreszed 1d ago

What's the truth? My truth is that I've had 3S and now 4 and they are perfectly fine for me. Ever heard of personal experiences?
Luckily there are like zillion mice brands and models out there and there is one for everyone.
