Small devices, big impact.

According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU‑OSHA), around one third of office workers regularly report complaints in the hand, arm or shoulder. These are often caused by repetitive movements or an unnatural hand posture resulting from the use of conventional input devices. Over time, these can develop into serious conditions such as Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) or chronic tenosynovitis (inflammation of the tendon sheaths).

Such complaints not only limit the affected employees, but also incur high follow‑on costs through absences and productivity losses. For companies this means: ergonomics is no longer a “nice‑to‑have”, but a business‑critical factor.

 

New approaches in peripherals.

Whereas furniture was traditionally at the center of ergonomic strategies, input devices are increasingly coming into focus. Manufacturers are developing solutions that specifically consider the anatomy of the hand, reduce strain, and at the same time allow for more precise control.

The most important developments include:

1
Ergonomic shapes that promote a natural hand posture.
2
Quiet technologies that reduce distracting noise in the office.
3
Faster interactions through smart controls.
4
Sustainable materials that meet environmental standards.

A current example that brings these trends together is the Logitech MX Master 4 for Business, announced on 30 September 2025.

 

Logitech MX Master 4 for Business: Ergonomics meets innovation.

With the fourth generation of its premium mouse for business users, Logitech sets new standards. The MX Master 4 for Business is not just a tool, but a thoughtfully designed concept for healthy and efficient work:

  • Ergonomic design: The shape supports the palm, relieves the joints and allows comfortable thumb-scrolling.
  • Haptic feedback: An innovation in this segment. Subtle vibrations provide feedback on battery or connection status and can be configured on a per-app basis.
  • Action Ring: With a single fingertip tap you can trigger shortcuts, switch devices, or launch applications. This saves valuable time, especially in hybrid work environments.
  • Quiet clicks: The QuietClick technology reduces clicking noise by up to 90%. In open‑plan offices, where noise is considered one of the biggest productivity killers, this provides noticeable relief.
  • Precision without compromise: The 8K-DPI Darkfield sensor even works on glass, making the mouse a versatile tool for any environment.
  • Sustainability: 54% recycled plastic, CO₂‑reduced aluminum, and a design that can be disassembled for easy recycling underscore Logitech's commitment to Green IT.
  • IT management with Logi Sync: Using the Logi Sync software, all MX Master 4 for Business devices can be centrally managed, configured, and monitored. IT administrators can roll out firmware updates, adjust device profiles, and ensure smooth operation across organizations of any size.
  • Logi Bolt – Security for business: Encrypted connection via the Logi Bolt dongle ensures increased security and reliable operation in corporate environments.

With this combination, the MX Master 4 for Business demonstrates that ergonomics, high-performance and sustainability can go hand in hand today.

Ergonomics as part of corporate strategy. 

Investing in ergonomic workplace equipment pays off for companies in several ways:

Fewer sickness-related absences

thanks to preventive relief.

Increased productivity, 

as employees can maintain concentration for longer.

Employer attractiveness,

as modern workplace tools are increasingly seen as a benefit.

Practicality through partnerships.

But which devices suit which work environments? And how can ergonomic solutions be sensibly integrated into existing IT infrastructure? This is where experienced partners are needed.
 

We help companies analyze their individual needs and implement appropriate solutions — from ergonomic input devices to complete workplace design. The result is a holistic approach that combines health, productivity, and sustainability.

Conclusion.

Ergonomics in everyday digital life is no longer a niche topic but a crucial component of modern work environments. Companies that provide their employees with the right equipment are investing in health, motivation, and sustainable performance.

With the Logitech MX Master 4 for Business, officially unveiled on 30 September 2025, a new generation of business mice begins — demonstrating that even small changes in the workplace can have a big impact. For employee well‑being as well as for the future viability of companies.
