Logitech Adds Office and Slack Controls to MX Devices

Anyone running a work laptop alongside a personal machine knows the small ritual. Press Easy Switch on the keyboard. Press it on the mouse. Press it again on whatever else is on the desk.

Logitech's April 2026 update to Logi Options+ collapses that into one press.

Enhanced Easy Switch lets an MX mouse and MX Creative Dialpad follow an MX keyboard automatically when it jumps to another computer. A single press on an MX Keys S or MX Keys Mini now moves up to three devices at once. The accessories involved need a firmware update first, and Logitech says support for more MX keyboards is coming.

The Plugins Are the Bigger Shift

Until now, Logitech's deeper software plugins were built mainly for creative software — Adobe Lightroom, Final Cut Pro, the kind of tools that suit a hardware controller with dials and buttons.

The new Logitech MX productivity plugins point somewhere much broader.

The Microsoft Office plugin adds controls for navigating Excel spreadsheets, formatting Word documents and managing PowerPoint slides. Coverage of the launch cites examples like assigning a button to replace text in Word or insert cells in Excel.

The Slack plugin handles huddles, workspace switching and thread management from a single tap. The Notion for Desktop plugin covers page organisation and content structure, including formatting to-do lists.

All three are free through the Logi Marketplace.

It Works Without the Console

The plugins were designed alongside the MX Creative Console, Logitech's physical controller with an LCD panel. But they aren't limited to it.

Actions Ring — an on-screen overlay menu triggered from a mouse or keyboard — now works across the wider MX line: MX Master 4, MX Master 3S, MX Anywhere 3S, MX Keys S, MX Keys Mini, MX Mechanical and MX Mechanical Mini.

That means an existing MX Master 3S owner gets Excel and Slack shortcuts through a radial menu, with no new hardware. The same update also lets users sort those shortcuts into folders and restyle icons through an updated editor.

A Software Release, Not a Product Launch

Nothing new was announced on the hardware side, which is the unusual part. The update adds capability to devices people already own rather than introducing something to buy.

Maxim Bondar, Head of MX Business and Marketing at Logitech, framed the approach around invisibility — the goal being to improve how advanced users work while keeping the underlying technology out of the way. He also described Enhanced Easy Switch and the plugins as community-requested.

The strategic read is fairly plain. Logitech has spent several years treating MX less as a set of separate peripherals and more as a connected system, and this update leans into that. Extending from creative software into Office, Slack and Notion widens the audience considerably — from editors and designers to anyone whose day runs through spreadsheets and message threads.

Whether shortcuts on a mouse meaningfully change how people work is a separate question, and one that only shows up in daily use.
