Vivid had some serious competition when it came to tickets to Sydney’s hottest tick this week – with Logitech hosting Logi Work 2026 – an exclusive Logitech event exploring human potential in a transforming technological age.
The conversation brought together a leadership panel featuring voices from Adobe, Xero, Luxury Escapes, Culture Amp and Vogue Codes, alongside keynote speakers from Logitech Global. The overarching theme: Human-centred tech that doesn’t just perform, but adapts. And right at the centre of it all were three new Logitech drops we got hands-on with. Spoiler: they’re not just upgrades. They’re shifts in how we interact with our workday.
Spotlight 2: The Presenter That Deserves the Spotlight
First up, and arguably the most surprising, is the Logitech Spotlight 2 Advanced Presenter. On paper, it sounds like a classic clicker upgrade. In reality, it feels more like a tiny stage coach in your palm.
The standout feature isn’t what you see on screen. It’s what you feel.
Spotlight 2 introduces subtle haptic feedback designed to guide presenters through their moments of tension. Before you even step onto a stage, soft pulses help regulate breathing, offering a grounded, almost meditative rhythm. In a world where public speaking anxiety is practically universal, this feels less like a gadget and more like a nervous system assistant.
Once you’re up there, the experience shifts again. The force-sensitive interface and intuitive grip mean your thumb naturally lands where it should, without you needing to look down and break eye contact with your audience.
Then comes the visual control layer. This is where things get properly cinematic.
You’re not just clicking through slides anymore. You’re using Spotlight, Squarelight, Magnify and Annotate effects to direct attention like a live editor. Important detail on slide three? You can literally magnify it mid-sentence. Need to isolate a concept? Squarelight it. Want to underline a point with emphasis? Annotate it in real time.
It also includes a digital pointer and a Class 1 laser, giving presenters the flexibility to shift between subtle digital emphasis and traditional pointing.
Everything is customisable through the Logi Options+ App, meaning you can map your own shortcuts, like mute, start or blank screen, to the Action Button.
It’s designed for hybrid reality too. Whether you’re in a boardroom or presenting over Zoom, Spotlight 2 behaves like it understands both worlds equally well.
And yes, it’s also made with sustainability in mind, using recycled plastics and low-impact materials. Because even your presentation tool apparently wants to reduce its footprint while you’re busy making yours.
Mobi Fold: The Mouse That Finally Gets “In-Between” Work Life
If Spotlight 2 is about performance presence, the Mobi Fold is about something far more relatable: working everywhere you didn’t plan to work.
Airports. Cafes. Hotel lobbies. That awkward corner of a co-working space where the table is too small and the chair is definitely not ergonomic.
Logitech’s answer is a foldable mouse that actually understands the chaos of modern mobility.
At first glance, it looks almost too compact to be useful. Then it unfolds into a full, ergonomic mouse that feels surprisingly natural in the hand. That folding mechanism isn’t just clever engineering; it’s a behavioural nudge. Open it, and it powers on. Fold it, and it powers down. No buttons, no thinking, no friction.
The real win here is comfort. Logitech says it reduces muscle strain by 22% compared to using a laptop trackpad, which, if you’ve ever spent three hours dragging your finger across glass, feels immediately believable.
Scrolling is adaptive, and the two customisable buttons can be tailored via Logi Options+ for things like app switching or screenshots. It’s small but intentional design that prioritises speed over complexity.
Connectivity is where it becomes genuinely useful for modern workflows. You can pair up to three devices across Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Android, iPadOS and Linux, switching between them seamlessly. In other words, your laptop, tablet and phone stop competing and start cooperating.
There’s also quiet-click tech for shared spaces, a dust-resistant build, and a hinge tested for long-term durability. It’s not trying to be precious. It’s trying to survive your actual life.
And perhaps the most interesting stat of the week: while 72% of professionals own a mouse, only 26% use one in public. Mobi Fold exists to close that gap, and honestly, it might.
G512 X: A Keyboard That Thinks in Layers, Not Letters
The third drop sits firmly in enthusiast territory, but still manages to feel like a glimpse into where high-performance computing is headed.
The Logitech G512 X Gaming Keyboard is not a passive typing tool. It’s a configurable input system designed for people who think in actions, not keystrokes.
The big shift here is analog input. Instead of simple on/off keypresses, the keyboard uses TMR sensor technology to detect how deeply a key is pressed. That means one key can perform multiple actions depending on pressure.
For gamers, that translates into precision control in flight simulators, racing games and tactical shooters. For everyone else, it hints at a future where keyboards behave more like instruments than typewriters.
Then there’s the customisation layer. Through G HUB software, users can assign multiple actions to a single keypress, introduce second actuation pressure points, and even physically modify the feel with SAPP rings. It’s part hardware, part modular system, part creative toolkit.
There’s also true 8K performance for ultra-low latency input, dual dials for command control, and an internal storage system for switches and tools. It feels less like a keyboard and more like a workstation cockpit.
Visually, it leans into performance aesthetics with RGB lighting and a design that clearly belongs alongside Logitech’s broader G-series ecosystem.
But beneath the gaming branding, there’s a bigger idea at play: input devices that adapt to people, not the other way around.
