Saving 40 Francs on the new Logitech MX Master 4 by grabbing it from the US right now

Why the Logitech MX Master 4 is the biggest tech drop of 2026
It has been a long wait since the 3S, but as of March 25, 2026, the Logitech MX Master 4 is officially out in the United States. The buzz is mostly centered around the new QuietClick+ sensors. If you have ever worked in a quiet library in Zurich or a hushed office in Geneva, you know that even the softest click can feel like a hammer blow. The MX Master 4 promises a 95% reduction in click noise while actually increasing the tactile feedback.
Besides the clicks, the multi-device switching has seen a massive upgrade. It now uses a dedicated low-latency chip that makes jumping between your MacBook, iPad, and PC almost instantaneous. While we are still waiting for a confirmed Benelux and DACH region release date, the early reviews from the US suggest this is the most significant ergonomic leap Logitech has made in years.
Comparing the numbers: US pricing versus Swiss retail expectations
Let’s talk about the actual savings. In the US, the MX Master 4 launched at $99.99. Based on historical pricing for premium peripherals in Switzerland, we can expect the local price tag to be at least CHF 139.00 once it hits stores in Zurich. When you factor in the current exchange rate, buying from a US store allows you to save roughly 40 Francs on the base price alone.
Even with international logistics involved, the total cost often stays below what you would pay at a local electronics chain six months from now. To get a clear picture of the total cost including the journey across the Atlantic, you should use a shipping calculator. This helps you figure out if adding a few more items to your cart—like those US-only keyboard caps—makes the shipment even more cost-effective.
A simple way to get US-exclusive tech delivered to Switzerland
Since the mouse is currently a US exclusive, you cannot simply order it to a Swiss address directly from most retailers. This is where using a freight forwarder becomes essential. By using a service like comGateway, you get a tax-free US address located in Oregon. This means you don't pay US sales tax, which adds another 7% to 10% in savings right off the bat.
The process is quite straightforward for those new to international shopping. You can check out this step-by-step guide to see how your package moves from the retailer to the Oregon warehouse and finally to your doorstep in Switzerland. It is essentially like having a friend in the US who receives your mail and sends it over to you via DHL or FedEx.
Bypassing store cancellations with the BuyForMe service
One of the most frustrating parts of trying to shop US stores is the "International Block." Many major US retailers—including Apple, Sephora, and even certain tech outlets—have a strict policy of declining orders made with international credit cards. Even if your Swiss card is a Visa or Mastercard, their systems often flag the billing address and cancel the order immediately. Others will see a freight forwarding address and auto-cancel the transaction to prevent exports.
To solve this, you can use the comGateway "BuyForMe" service. This is an assisted purchase solution where the team in the US uses a local, domestic US credit card to buy the MX Master 4 on your behalf. You pay comGateway, and they handle the checkout process at the store. This is the safest way to guarantee your order doesn't get cancelled and ensures you actually get the mouse while it's still in stock. It removes the headache of dealing with finicky US payment gateways that don't recognize Swiss banks.
Navigating Swiss customs and shipping costs
When importing electronics into Switzerland, you need to be aware of the local regulations. Switzerland is quite efficient with customs, but you will likely be responsible for paying the Swiss import tax (VAT) upon arrival. For most computer peripherals, this is a standard 8.1% of the item's value plus a small administrative fee from the courier.
Also, it is always a good idea to check the latest list of prohibited items before you ship. While a wireless mouse is perfectly fine to ship, some other computer accessories containing certain types of standalone lithium batteries might have specific packaging requirements. You might also like to read up on how to consolidate multiple orders to save on the base shipping fee, which is a great way to bring the cost per item down even further. By the time the MX Master 4 officially launches in Switzerland, you will have already been using yours for months, all while keeping that extra 40 Francs in your pocket.
