In a tale worthy of Silicon Valley’s greatest soap operas, Logitech’s MX Master 4 mice decided to throw a tantrum for macOS users, disabling all those precious customizable buttons and that oh-so-critical scroll wheel. Reddit erupted on January 2026, as multiple users reported Logi Options Plus — the app responsible for turning humble mice into customizable bundles of joy — freezing in an endless boot loop. One particularly tormented Redditor complained they could no longer enjoy their precisely inverted scroll directions or extra button wizardry, echoing a collective digital existential crisis. Logitech finally tossed a fix at this cursor chaos, proving once again that no tech firm can resist grudging users more than their own malfunctioning software.
