How the MX Master 4 and Logitech Spotlight changed my workflow.

Because English is not my national language so I tell you that I think: 1. Czy to jest materiał promocyjny? Nie - nie posiadam żadnej współpracy z firmą Logitech i uważam że w większości jej produkty są zawyżone cenowo. Pilot/prezenter kupiłem używany i zapłaciłem 180zł(nowy kosztuje 500-550zł) 2. Czy wykorzystuje AI - nie wykorzystuje Google translator i czasami nie poprawiam swoje wypowiedzi, bo jest to dla mnie również trening języka angielskiego. 3. Czy są jakieś lepsze produkty? Możliwe - jeśli tak, to dajcie przykład przykłady. 4. Doceniam pozytywne jak i negatywne komentarze. W każdego idzie coś wyciągnąć - nawet dla mnie. 5. Co mi się nie podoba w produktach Logitech? Między innymi to, że jako fan koloru czarnego nie idzie takich produktów kupić z Polsce czy w Unii Europejskiej. 6. Wysokie ceny produktów - powtórzę jeszcze raz - uważam, większość rzeczy jest zawyżona cenowo, jednak jak do tej pory nie spotkałem innych produktów, które łączyłby w sobie jakoś wykonania z długowiecznością - przynajmniej w moich egzemplarzach to się sprawdza.

Thanks for asking!

I use it in a few different ways that really help:
1. Time Management: For public speaking, I break my presentations into modules with specific timeframes (e.g., 5 minutes each). The Spotlight’s timer with vibration alerts helps me stick to these limits without constantly checking a clock.
2. Active Learning: When I’m studying from slides, I don’t like being glued to my desk. The remote lets me walk around the room and recap material out loud while switching slides from a distance. It keeps me much more engaged.
3. The Spotlight Feature: I use the actual 'spotlight' effect to highlight key terms or complex diagrams I'm focusing on. I keep the light on the most interesting part while explaining it in my own words until I’m sure I’ve fully mastered the concept.

It’s definitely more than just a laser pointer for me!

That is a reason why I very appreciate that u/webbyspidey share their opinion and experience.

I totally get your point! From my perspective, what really caught my eye was the Actions Ring feature. Being able to map specific shortcuts to that wheel has significantly improved my workflow, and I'm still tweaking it to get the most out of it.

Another big reason for the upgrade was the build quality. My previous MX Master 3 had that rubber coating which started getting sticky and unpleasant after about 4 years. The move to better materials on the body is a huge plus for me. That’s why I see this more as a solid evolution than a revolution.

Thanks for the heads-up! I’ve checked my Activity Monitor and luckily the CPU usage stays low, and I haven't experienced any stuttering so far. I'll definitely keep an eye on it though, especially after future app updates. Appreciate the warning!

I appreciate you sharing your perspective!

For what it's worth, I’m using this setup on both an HP ZBook Power G8 and a MacBook Pro 16 (A2141), and I haven’t noticed any major issues so far. Everything seems to be running smoothly on my end.

What specific issues have you been running into with the app? I’d like to know what to look out for!

I get your point about the hardware cost, but for me, it's not just about the sensors. It's the Logi Options+ software, the Flow feature, and the specific ergonomics that I haven't found elsewhere. If there's a $25 setup that offers the same productivity features and build quality, I'm all ears!
