The portable version of Logitech’s premium MX series mouse has the highest precision of any compact mouse thanks to a next-generation MagSpeed wheel that can scroll up to 1,000 lines per second and auto-shift between ratchet and hyperfast modes. Add in the ability to track on all surfaces, including glass, and it is easy to see why Logitech is positioning this as the ideal mouse for advanced users working at a client’s, in an airport or in a hotel room. www.logitech.com Gapless fold Flexible display pioneer Royole has launched a successor to the world’s first smartphone with a fully flexible display, the Royole FlexPai.
