The Logitech MX Master 4 is an excellent mouse for productivity and casual gaming. It is now also one of the first mice to support haptics on Windows 11.

Hailed as "the new king" of mice by our friends at Tom's Guide, the Logitech MX Master 4 just got better thanks to a pair software updates. The mouse now supports native integration with Advanced Haptics on Windows 11, a new feature that lets you feel actions on the operating system.

The Logitech MX Master 4 already supported haptics, but only in a limited way. Pressing the thumb button on the mouse would summon an "Actions Ring" with eight shortcuts to choose from. Moving your cursor over one of the shortcuts produced what our colleagues at TechRadar describe as a "haptic bump."

Now, the mouse's haptic engine also responds to certain movements and gestures on Windows 11.

"Users will be able to feel haptic feedback effects on compatible input devices while performing certain actions, such as aligning objects in PowerPoint, window snapping, resizing, or hovering over the Close button," explained Microsoft when discussing Windows 11 Insider Build 26300.8155.

Logi Bolt received a firmware update to version 5.5.30 that added support for Advanced Haptics on Windows 11. Shout out to X user Stephen Barrett for flagging the change to us.

If you have a build of Windows 11 that supports the integration and the latest firmware installed, you'll be able to feel your PC through your mouse.

Haptics are an evolving type of tech that's being integrated into accessories and software in different ways. The Logitech Pro X2 Superstrike lowers latency and adds click customization through haptics. Haptics are also increasingly common in laptop touchpads because they are more reliable than mechanical touchpads.

Logitech's implementation of haptics in the MX Master 4 is clever and unique, and it should make navigating Windows 11 feel more natural and immersive.
