Setup Instructions

1. Install Logitech Options Software

To unlock the full potential of your MX Master 2S mouse, including customizable buttons and gestures, download and install the Logitech Options software. Visit logitech.com/options for more information and to download the software.

2. Power On the Mouse

Locate the On/Off switch (component 5 in the product overview) on the bottom of the mouse and slide it to the ON position.

3. Connect to Your Computer

The MX Master 2S can connect to up to three different computers. Use the Easy-Switch™ button (component 7) to select your desired channel (1, 2, or 3) and proceed with pairing:

• Bluetooth Connection: Press and hold the Easy-Switch™ button for 3 seconds. The LED indicator will flash rapidly, indicating the mouse is in discoverable mode. Select the mouse from your computer's Bluetooth device list.
• Logitech Unifying Receiver Connection: If you have a Logitech Unifying Receiver, plug it into a USB port on your computer. The mouse will automatically pair with the receiver.

Operating Your Mouse

Speed-Adaptive Scroll Wheel (SmartShift)

The speed-adaptive scroll wheel automatically switches between two scrolling modes based on your touch:

• Ratchet (click-to-click) mode: Ideal for precise navigation of items and lists.
• Hyper-fast (free-spinning) mode: Nearly frictionless scrolling for quickly navigating long documents and web pages.

If SmartShift™ is enabled in Logitech Options, the scroll wheel will automatically switch between these modes. You can enable or disable SmartShift™ in the "Point & Scroll" tab of the Logitech Options software.

The scroll wheel can switch between free rotation and step mode.

Manual Shift Mode

You can manually switch between the two scrolling modes using the manual shift button (component 2), regardless of whether SmartShift is enabled. By default, this button is located on the top of the mouse.

Fixed Scroll Wheel Mode

If you prefer to use only one scrolling mode, you can fix the scroll wheel to either Ratchet or Free Spin mode. This option is available in the "Point & Scroll" tab of Logitech Options, under the "Fixed scroll wheel mode" dropdown.

Important:

Fixed scroll wheel mode can only be enabled if SmartShift is disabled AND no mode-switching function is assigned to any MX Master button.

To enable fixed scroll wheel mode:

• Select "Disabled" from the SmartShift dropdown menu.
• In the "Mouse" tab, click the highlighted mode switch button and select an action other than mode switching.

Thumb Wheel

The thumb wheel (component 9) allows for horizontal scrolling. Simply roll the thumb wheel up (scroll right) or down (scroll left).

You can extend the functionality of the thumb wheel by installing Logitech Options software, allowing you to:

• Swap scroll direction
• Reproduce touchscreen gestures
• Adjust scroll speed and resolution
• Navigate tabbed content
• Switch applications
• Swipe between full-screen apps (Mac only)
• Switch between full-screen apps (Windows 8 only)

Gesture Button

The gesture button (component 3) simplifies navigation and desktop management. With Logitech Options software installed, you can enable gesture operations for media management, panning, zooming, rotating, and custom tasks.

You can assign up to five different actions to the gesture button or map gestures to other MX Master buttons, including the middle button or manual shift button.

To perform a gesture: Press and hold the gesture button, then move the mouse left, right, up, or down.

Back/Forward Buttons

The back and forward buttons (component 10) are conveniently located near the thumb for easy navigation. Press them to navigate back or forward through web pages or document pages (depending on the mouse pointer's location).

Note:

For Mac users, installing Logitech Options software is required to enable the back/forward buttons. The software also allows you to map other useful functions to these buttons, such as operating system navigation, zooming, or dictionary lookup.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MX Master 2S mouse, consider the following:

• Connectivity Issues: Ensure the mouse is powered on and fully charged. Verify that the correct Easy-Switch channel is selected. For Bluetooth, ensure your computer's Bluetooth is enabled and the mouse is in discoverable mode. For Unifying Receiver, ensure the receiver is securely plugged in.
• Software Functionality: Many advanced features and customizations require the Logitech Options software. Ensure it is installed and up to date.
• Cursor Movement: If the cursor is erratic or unresponsive, check the Darkfield sensor (component 6) for obstructions. Ensure you are using the mouse on a suitable surface; the Darkfield sensor is designed for tracking on almost any surface, including glass.
• Battery Life: If battery life is shorter than expected, ensure the mouse is fully charged. Reduce DPI settings or disable unnecessary features in Logitech Options if power consumption is a concern.
