    Question

    How do I configure the middle button of the Logitech M196 mouse to perform a Ctrl+V (paste) command?

    Answer

    To configure the buttons on your Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse, you will need to use Logitech's customization software. While the basic manual focuses on connectivity, Logitech mice are typically managed through Logi Options+.

    Follow these steps to set up the middle button for a Paste (Ctrl+V) command:

    1. Download and Install: Go to the official Logitech website and download Logi Options+.
    2. Connect Mouse: Ensure your M196 is paired via Bluetooth and recognized by your computer.
    3. Select Device: Open the Logi Options+ software and click on the image of your M196 mouse.
    4. Button Customization: Click on the 'Buttons' tab on the left sidebar. You should see a circle indicating the middle button (scroll wheel click).
    5. Assign Action: Click on the middle button icon. A list of actions will appear. You can either:
      • Search for the 'Paste' command in the list.
      • Or select 'Keyboard shortcut' and manually type Ctrl + V into the input box.
    6. Apply: The setting is saved automatically. Your middle button will now function as the paste command.

    Question

    How do I turn off the Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse?

    Answer

    To turn off the Logitech M196 Bluetooth Mouse, locate the power switch on the bottom of the device. Slide the switch to the OFF position (the switch is typically marked with 'ON' and 'OFF' indicators, where sliding it away from the 'ON' label or toward the red indicator will power it down).

    Additionally, the M196 features an automatic power-saving mode that helps conserve battery life when the mouse is not in use, though manually switching it off is recommended for long-term storage or travel.
