Logitech releases special MX Master 4 mouse editions

Logitech has unveiled two special editions of its popular MX Master 4 mouse, a top-tier product in its range. These editions are designed to appeal to specific user groups, with unique design elements and hidden features.

Developer Edition features unique design and Easter Eggs

The Developer Edition, priced at 130 euros on Logitech's website, includes a bicolor side with dark gray and silver gray, along with bright yellow text and icons. It also contains two hidden Easter Eggs: a "Hello World" text under the thumb and a date engraved at the base.

Hidden dates and references mark special days

The engraved date 0xFF + 1 refers to the National Programmers' Day, which falls on the 256th day of the year, September 13 this year. Another engraving, 09.17, marks the release date of the first Linux kernel on September 17, 1991. The !04.01 engraving refers to World Backup Day on March 31, according to Logitech.

Creator Edition version may still be in development

Logitech reportedly planned a second version of the MX Master 4 for creators, but it may have been abandoned or is not yet available. Evidence of this version exists on Logitech's website and at Best Buy in the United States, as reported by 9 to 5 Toys.

Creator Edition design includes creative tool references

The Creator Edition, if it becomes available, is described as gray with some black traces and a red marking. It includes a color palette under the thumb and decorations inspired by tools used by creators such as Photoshop. The ! before the date indicates "not April 1st," referencing the day before the traditional April Fools' Day.
