The repair required 30-45 minutes and a workstation cluttered with at least 12 different tools and parts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We weren\u2019t satisfied with that rating. A core part of our Designing for Sustainability (DfS) principles, which guide our product teams towards lower-impact, more circular design solutions, is repairability. This remained a priority when designing the next generation mouse, MX Master 4, and it led to exposed screws for easier repairs and access to spare batteries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, an assessment on the exact same platform for the MX Master 4 rated the repairability as \u2018easy\u2019 with an expected timeframe of 10-20 minutes and only two items needed &#8211; the replacement battery and one screwdriver.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This kind of improvement over time is a core part of our DfS practices. International Repair Day is coming up on October 17, but keeping tech alive for the long haul is something you should think about every time you sit down at your desk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Logitech, circularity is a core part of how we design, manufacture and support our products. And we\u2019re continuing to explore day 1 repair readiness and battery repair coverage across products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Repair is not sitting at the edge of our business. It\u2019s becoming a company capability, a core part of how we work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every extra year a mouse, keyboard or headset stays on a desk instead of being disposed of or replaced is a positive step to reducing impact on the planet. Here are four ways you can extend the life of your Logitech gear to keep your setup running smoothly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>1. Access spare parts and repair guides with iFixit.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>When your mouse no longer glides smoothly across your desk or your headset doesn\u2019t stay charged throughout a long meeting, you may be tempted to throw away gear that is otherwise in great shape.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you can access spare parts and step-by-step repair guides across 69 Logitech product lines through our partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifixit.com\/logitech\">iFixit<\/a>. There are 133 repair guides available and repair hubs covering 75 countries.<\/p>\n<h4><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34750 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-16-133539.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"502\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-16-133539.png 1419w, https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-16-133539-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-16-133539-942x628.png 942w, https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-16-133539-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-16-133539-750x500.png 750w, https:\/\/www.logitech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-16-133539-1140x760.png 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><b>2.

This helps to extend battery longevity and encourage longer product use. And within Logi Options+, you can adjust backlight settings on keyboards to cut down on power consumption and stretch the time between charging your device.<\/p>\n<h4><b>3. Explore professional repair services.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Not everyone feels comfortable opening up their devices at home. In select countries, we have designated hubs where you can send your Logitech product in for repair.<\/p>\n<p>In Europe, our authorized partner <a href=\"https:\/\/fixit-service.com\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fixit<\/a> provides end-to-end device assessment and repair services to keep your gear working longer. In China, customers can access dedicated repair support through our partner <a href=\"http:\/\/logitech.service.akl.com.cna\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AKL<\/a> to conveniently handle product maintenance and repairs.<\/p>\n<h4><b>4. Choose products designed for repair.<\/b><\/h4>\n<p>Using our Design for Sustainability principles, repairability is increasingly factored into product design from the start as is evident by some of our recent products.
