Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Solution
Devices not connecting via Bluetooth.	Ensure devices are charged. Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your computer. Put devices into pairing mode (blinking LED on Easy-Switch button). Remove previous pairings from your computer's Bluetooth settings and try again. Try connecting via the Logi Bolt USB receiver if Bluetooth issues persist.
Keyboard not working at macOS login/reboot (FileVault enabled).	If FileVault is enabled on macOS, Bluetooth might not be active at startup. Use the Logi Bolt USB Receiver to enter your password. Once logged in, Bluetooth should function normally.
Mouse tracking issues.	Ensure the sensor is clean. Check the surface; while the Darkfield sensor tracks on most surfaces, extreme textures or highly reflective surfaces might cause issues. Verify the wireless operating distance (up to 33 ft / 10 m). Range may vary with environment.
Battery life is shorter than expected.	Battery life can vary based on user and computing conditions, including backlighting intensity and frequency of use. Ensure devices are fully charged regularly.
Logi Options+ software not recognizing devices.	Ensure devices are connected (Bluetooth or Logi Bolt). Restart the Logi Options+ application. Reinstall the Logi Options+ software.
