![]() Reset Button on Your Logitech Wireless Mouse Perhaps it did, but frequently loses connection or moves haphazardly across the screen.īefore calling customer support, there are some basic steps to troubleshoot the situation yourself. Maybe the mouse never successfully moved the cursor. This means that you should be able to plug the device in and wait for Windows to set it up. Most external USB devices are built around PnP integration You can expect that it involves downloading the utility, running it, and synching the mouse with the receiver. There isn’t much to explain here since the utility will walk you through the process. If this applies to your device, you can download the connection utility from the manufacturer. To successfully connect your Logitech wireless mouse, there are typically only a few steps to follow –assuming no issues arise. In the case of connection issues, follow along for how to reset your Logitech wireless mouse. When you are connecting a wireless mouse to your computer – like the models Logitech makes – you will likely stare at the screen and hope for the mouse to connect. With the USB connector – plus Plug and Play (PnP) technology ¬– you have the makings of an evolved device. Since its invention, the wireless (or cordless) mouse was eventually introduced to the market. While there are other devices that will move that white cursor across the screen, nothing seems to top the fluid motion of the old faithful mouse.ĭeveloped in the 1960s, the mouse has been a part of computing for quite some time and has helped create a more efficient way to operate a computer for millions of users. *These days, there's 'Logitech Options', 'Set Point' and the newest 'Logi Options+', depending on hardware/OS.One of the main human input devices for a computer – besides the keyboard – is the mouse. See How do Logitech keyboards coexist? What if I mix up the USB dongles? for how these 'mid-period' dongles worked. ![]() Thanks to roaima for the comment - there's a re-pairing utility Logitech Connection Utility available which may help. At least with the new Unifying dongles, you can manually pair several devices. Later dongles were paired for life with the device they came in the box with, no mix & match at all. As far as I'm aware, nothing still uses the old Connect* software, which I think was for the receivers with a physical button. If you have an older keyboard & a newer mouse, even though they are supposedly "the same thing" they may be using different versions of the dongle technology. Logi change the dongle requirements over time. They're either not-really-wifi or not-really-bluetooth, they won't link to anything except the 'family' they're designed for. Logitech's receivers are not interchangeable. Is there any way to pair the old keyboard and the new mouse with the same non-unifying receiver? What other alternatives do I have besides plugging to receivers simultaneously? But why can't I pair it with the older receiver (with or without the keyboard)? I also tried pairing the keyboard with the new mouse's receiver, but failed (the Connect Utility doesn't recognize that receiver at all - it says no receiver is connected - although the mouse is working just fine with it). The new mouse works with its dedicated receiver that came with it, so I know that the mouse is OK. I do as the instructions say (turn it off then on again) but the utility doesn't recognize it (I tried this strategy to re-pair the older keyboard and it worked). Now one button in the mouse stopped working so I bought a new M185 mouse, but I can't pair it with the older receiver using Logitech's Connect Utility (version 2.30.90). I have a Logitech keyboard and a mouse pair (keyboard K270 and mouse M185) that are paired to a single non-unifying receiver, and they work (I bought them together as a pair).
