Remove the USB Unifying Receiver from the battery compartment of the mouse.
Plug the Unifying Receiver into an available USB port on your computer.
Turn on the mouse using the ON/OFF switch on the bottom.
The mouse should automatically connect. If not, download and install Logitech Options software from logitech.com/options to complete the pairing process.

Turn on the mouse using the ON/OFF switch on the bottom.
Press and hold the Easy-Switch button (located below the scroll wheel) for 3 seconds until the LED indicator starts blinking rapidly. This puts the mouse in pairing mode.
On your computer, open Bluetooth settings:
- Windows: Go to Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices. Click "Add Bluetooth or other device" and select "Bluetooth".
- macOS: Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Bluetooth.
Select "Logitech M585" from the list of available devices and follow the on-screen prompts to complete pairing.

3. Logitech FLOW Setup (Optional)

Logitech FLOW allows you to seamlessly control multiple computers with a single M585 mouse and copy-paste text, images, and files between them.

Ensure both computers are connected to the same network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
Download and install Logitech Options software on both computers from logitech.com/options.
Open Logitech Options on both computers and navigate to the "FLOW" tab.
Follow the on-screen instructions to enable and configure FLOW. You can arrange your computer screens virtually to match their physical layout.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Mouse

To ensure optimal performance, periodically clean your mouse.

Gently wipe the surface of the mouse.
Use a cotton swab or compressed air to clean around the scroll wheel and buttons.

Battery Replacement

The M585 mouse has an approximate battery life of 2 years. When the battery is low, the LED indicator on the mouse may blink red. Replace the AA battery as described in the "Battery Installation" section.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
Mouse not responding	Ensure the mouse is turned ON. Check battery level and replace if necessary. For Unifying Receiver: Try plugging the receiver into a different USB port. For Bluetooth: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your computer and the mouse is paired. Try re-pairing. Try restarting your computer.
Lagging or erratic cursor movement	Ensure the mouse is on a clean, non-reflective surface. Move the mouse closer to the Unifying Receiver or Bluetooth adapter. Avoid using the mouse near other wireless devices that might cause interference (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, cordless phones). Clean the optical sensor on the bottom of the mouse.
Logitech FLOW not working	Ensure both computers are on the same network. Verify Logitech Options software is installed and running on both computers. Check FLOW settings in Logitech Options to ensure it's enabled and configured correctly. Temporarily disable firewalls on both computers to test if they are blocking the connection.
Buttons not programmable	Ensure Logitech Options software is installed and up to date. Restart the Logitech Options software or your computer.
