Connectivity range of the Unifying receiver

The connectivity range for your mouse is 10 meters (33 feet) from the Unifying receiver. Moving the mouse closer will improve connectivity

Operating distance between the mouse or keyboard and USB receiver

In an ideal environment, a Unifying or non-Unifying device can operate up to 30 feet (10 meters) away from its receiver (shown below) in a clear line of sight.
Unifying Receiver           
 
If you’re not getting this distance, try these suggestions:
– Replace the battery/batteries or make sure your mouse or keyboard is fully charged
– Move devices that emit radio waves or could cause radio interference away from your work area (Examples: cell phones, radios, wireless routers, microwaves)

To determine if your environment is shortening your operating range, try using your device in a different environment to see if the distance improves. If it does, look for other possible sources of interference you can remove from your work area.

Unifying software does not detect device

Try the suggestions below if your Logitech device isn’t detected in the Unifying software:
– Make sure your device is not paired to your laptop using Bluetooth.
– It may take several minutes for the Unifying software to detect your peripherals — give the software a few minutes to detect the peripherals.
– Try manually pairing your devices — click Advanced on the bottom left of the Unifying screen, then click Pair a New Device.

Unifying software does not detect mouse or keyboard

– Make sure your mouse and/or keyboard are not paired to your laptop using Bluetooth.
– It may take several minutes for the Unifying software to detect your peripherals — give the software a few minutes to detect the peripherals.

Keystroke ghosting on Logitech membrane keyboards

The two most common Logitech keyboards are mechanical and membrane, with the primary difference being how the key activates the signal that is sent to your computer.

With membrane, the activation is made between the membrane surface and circuit board and these keyboards can be susceptible to ghosting. When certain multiple keys (usually three or more*) are pressed simultaneously, not all of the keystrokes will appear and one or more may disappear ( ghosted).

An example would be if you would type XML very rapidly but don’t release the X key before pressing the M key and subsequently press the L key, then only X and L would appear.

Logitech Craft, MX Keys and the K860 are membrane keyboards and may experience ghosting. If this is a concern we would recommend to try a mechanical keyboard instead.

*Pressing two modifier keys (Left Ctrl, Right Ctrl, Left Alt, Right Alt, Left Shift, Right Shift and Left Win) together with one regular key should still work as expected.

How to enable Accessibility and Input monitoring permissions for Logitech Options

We’ve identified a few cases where devices aren’t detected in the Logitech Options software or where the device fails to recognize customizations made in the Options software (however, the devices do work in out-of-box mode with no customizations).

Can I switch my mouse and keyboard at the same time using one Easy-Switch button?

It is not possible to use one Easy-Switch button to at the same time change both your mouse and keyboard to a different computer/device.

We do understand that this is a feature that a lot of customers would like. If you are switching between Apple macOS and/or Microsoft Windows computers, we offer Flow. Flow allows you to control multiple computers with a Flow-enabled mouse. Flow automatically switches between computers by moving your cursor to the edge of the screen, and the keyboard follows.
In other cases where Flow is not applicable, one Easy-Switch button for both mouse and keyboard might look like a simple answer. However, we cannot guarantee this solution at the moment, as it is not easy to implement.

Play/Pause and media control buttons on macOS

On macOS, the Play/Pause and media control buttons by default, launch and control the macOS native Music app. The default functions of keyboard media control buttons are defined and set by macOS itself and therefore cannot be set in Logitech Options.

If any other media player is already launched and running, for example, playing music or a movie onscreen or minimized, pressing the media control buttons will control the launched app and not the Music app.

If you wish your preferred media player to be used with the keyboard media control buttons it must be launched and running.

If you are having connectivity issues, disconnect any Bluetooth accessories that you’re not using. To disconnect a device:
– In Settings > Bluetooth, tap the information button next to the device name, then tap Disconnect.

Bluetooth mouse or keyboard not recognized after reboot on macOS (Intel-based Mac) – FileVault

If your Bluetooth mouse or keyboard does not reconnect after a reboot at the login screen and only reconnects after the login, this might be related to FileVault encryption.
When FileVault is enabled, Bluetooth mice and keyboards will only re-connect after login.

Potential solutions:
– If your Logitech device came with a USB receiver, using it will solve the issue.
– Use your MacBook keyboard and trackpad to login.
– Use a USB keyboard or mouse to login.

Note: This issue is fixed from macOS 12.3 or later on M1. Users with an older version might still experience it.

3. When your device is detected, you’ll see a “We have detected your…” confirmation screen. Type a test message in the field provided to make sure it works.
4. If your device connected successfully, click Yes and then Next.
4. If your device doesn’t work right away, wait a minute to see if it connects. If it doesn’t, select No and then click Next to restart the pairing process from Step 1 above.

Backup device settings to the cloud in Logitech Options+

INTRODUCTION
This feature on Logi Options+ allows you to backup the customization of your Options+ supported device automatically to the cloud after creating an account. If you are planning to use your device on a new computer or wish to go back to your old settings on the same computer, log into your Options+ account on that computer and fetch the settings you want from a backup to set up your device and get going.

HOW IT WORKS
When you are logged into Logi Options+ with a verified account, your device settings are automatically backed up to the cloud by default. You can manage the settings and the backups from the Backups tab under More settings of your device (as shown):


Manage settings and backups by clicking on More > Backups:

AUTOMATIC BACKUP OF SETTINGS — if the Automatically create backups of settings for all devices checkbox is enabled, any settings you have or modify for all of your devices on that computer are backed up to the cloud automatically. The checkbox is enabled by default. You can disable it if you don’t want the settings of your devices to be backed up automatically.

CREATE A BACKUP NOW — this button allows you to backup your current device settings now, if you need to fetch them later.

RESTORE SETTINGS FROM BACKUP — this button lets you view and restore all the available backups you have for that device that are compatible with that computer, as shown above.
The settings for a device are backed up for every computer that you have your device connected to and have Logi Options+ that you are logged into. Every time you make some modifications to your device settings, they get backed up with that computer name. The backups can be differentiated based on the following:
Name of the computer. (Ex. John’s Work Laptop)
Make and/or model of the computer. (Ex. Dell Inc., Macbook Pro (13-inch) and so on)
The time when the backup was made
The desired settings can then be selected and restored accordingly.

WHAT SETTINGS GET BACKED UP
– Configuration of all the buttons of your mouse
– Configuration of all the keys of your keyboard
– Point & Scroll settings of your mouse
– Any application-specific settings of your device

WHAT SETTINGS ARE NOT BACKED UP
– Flow settings
– Options+ app settings

Keyboard/Mice – Buttons or keys do not work correctly

Likely Cause(s):
– Potential hardware issue
– Operating system /software settings
– USB port issue

Symptom(s):
– Single-click results in double-click (mice and pointers)
– Repeating or strange characters when typing on the keyboard
– Button/key/control gets stuck or responds intermittently

Possible solutions:
– Clean the button/key with compressed air.
– Verify the product or receiver is connected directly to the computer and not to a hub, extender, switch or something similar.
– Unpair/repair or disconnect/reconnect hardware.
– Upgrade firmware if available.

Windows only — try a different USB port. If it makes a difference, try updating the motherboard USB chipset driver.
Try on a different computer. Windows only — if it works on a different computer, then the issue might be related to a USB chipset driver.

*Pointing devices only:If you’re not sure if the problem is a hardware or software issue, try switching the buttons in the settings (left click becomes right click and right click becomes left click). If the problem moves to the new button it is a software setting or application issue and hardware troubleshooting cannot resolve it. – If the problem stays with the same button it is a hardware issue.
– If a single-click always double-clicks, check the settings (Windows mouse settings and/or in Logitech SetPoint/Options/G HUB/Control Center/Gaming Software) to verify if the button is set to Single Click is Double Click.
NOTE: If buttons or keys respond incorrectly in a particular program, verify if the problem is specific to the software by testing in other programs.

Delay when typing

Likely Cause(s)
– Potential hardware issue
– Interference issue
– USB port issue

Symptom(s)
Typed characters take a few seconds to appear on the screen

Possible solutions
1. Verify the product or receiver is connected directly to the computer and not to a hub, extender, switch or something similar.
2. Move the keyboard closer to the USB receiver. If your receiver is in the back of your computer, it may help to relocate the receiver to a front port. In some cases the receiver signal gets blocked by the computer case, causing a delay. 
3. Keep other electrical wireless devices away from the USB receiver to avoid interferences.
4. Unpair/repair or disconnect/reconnect hardware.
– If you have a Unifying receiver, identified by this logo,  see Unpair a mouse or keyboard from the Unifying receiver.
– If your receiver is non-Unifying, it cannot be unpaired. However, if you have a replacement receiver, you can use the Connection Utility software to perform the pairing.
5. Upgrade the firmware for your device if available.
6. Windows only — check if there are any Windows updates running in the background that may cause the delay.
7. Mac only — check if there are any background updates that may cause the delay.
8. Try on a different computer.

Wireless device does not work or is not recognized

When your device isn’t working, the problem is likely a connection or power issue. This can be due to several reasons, such as:
– Low battery levels
– Plugging the receiver into a USB hub or other unsupported device such as a
KVM switch 
– NOTE: Your receiver must be plugged directly into your computer.
– Using your wireless keyboard on metal surfaces
– Radio frequency (RF) interference from other sources, such as wireless speakers, cell phone, and so on
– Windows USB port power settings

If your keyboard is not working or frequently loses connection try the following steps:
1. Check the batteries or make sure your device is charged.
2. Make sure the keyboard is On.
3. Keep other electrical wireless devices away from the USB receiver to avoid interferences.
4.. Move the keyboard closer to the USB receiver.
5.Unpair/repair or disconnect/reconnect hardware:
– If you have a Unifying receiver, identified by this logo,  see Unpair a mouse or keyboard from the Unifying receiver for instructions.
– If your receiver is non-Unifying, it cannot be unpaired. However, if you have a replacement receiver, you can use the Connection Utility software to perform the pairing.
6. Try a different USB port. If using a different USB port works, try updating the motherboard USB chipset driver.
7. Windows only — check USB port power settings.
8. Upgrade the firmware for your device if available.
9. Try the device on a different computer.

Logitech Options will not install on Mac

Likely Cause(s):
– Security and Privacy settings are locked
– Partial or corrupted download of Logitech Options installer

Symptom(s):
– Logitech Options doesn’t start installing
– Install is either paused or hung at some point during the installation

Possible solutions:
When the installation seems to be stuck or not progressing, it could mean that the security settings are locked. To unlock the Security and Privacy settings, please follow the instructions below:
1. Open System Preferences.
2. Select Security & Privacy.
3. On the bottom left of the window, select Click the lock to make changes.
Enter your Username and Password.

5. If you’re still not able to install, and if you have Yosemite or earlier, see the Apple support article on how to repair your disk permissions.
6. Visit the Apple support site to learn how to start your Mac in Safe Mode. This may help you to pinpoint the problem.

Device disconnects or keeps losing Bluetooth connection

Likely Cause(s):
– Low battery levels
– Plugging the receiver into a USB hub or other unsupported device such as a
KVM switch 
NOTE: Your receiver must be plugged directly into your computer.
– Using your wireless device on metal surfaces
– Radio frequency (RF) interference from other sources, such as wireless speakers, cell phone, and so on

Symptom(s):
– Bluetooth connection keeps dropping
– The device doesn’t connect to Bluetooth
– Button/cursor lagging

Possible solutions:
– Reduce the distance between the device and the Bluetooth receiver. If it’s an internal Bluetooth card (ex. laptop) then try improving the line of sight of the device to the computer. 
– Check for radio frequency (RF) interference from other sources, such as wireless speakers, cell phone, and so on.
– Check if the device works with the USB receiver. If it doesn’t, then most likely the device is defective.

Windows:
– Try updating your Bluetooth chipset driver. 
– Check for Windows updates.
– For a Bluetooth USB dongle, update the drivers for it from the manufacturer’s website.
– For an internal Bluetooth chipset, refer to the computer’s motherboard manufacturer drivers.

Mac: Check for OS updates.

Unable to pair to Unifying receiver

If you’re unable to pair your device to the Unifying receiver, please do the following:

STEP A: 
1. Make sure the device is found in Devices and Printers. If the device is not there, follow steps 2 and 3.
2. If connected to a USB HUB, USB Extender or to the PC case, try connecting to a port directly on the computer motherboard.
3. Try a different USB port; if a USB 3.0 port was used previously, try a USB 2.0 port instead.

STEP B:Open Unifying Software and see if your device is listed there. If not, follow the steps to connect the device to a Unifying receiver.
