Switch modes manually
You can also manually switch between modes by pressing the mode shift button.
By default, mode shift is assigned to the button on top of the mouse.
In the Logitech Options+ Software, you can decide to disable smart-shift if
you prefer to stay in a single scrolling mode and always shift manually. You
can also adjust the smartshift sensitivity, which will change the speed
required to automatically shift into free spinning.

Darkfield 8000 DPI Sensor By default, the MX Master 3S has a 1000 DPI

8000 DPI.
Enabling this option will allow you to work faster and more precisely, allowing you to adjust the pointer speed to match high resolution monitors.
App-Specific Settings
Your mouse buttons can be assigned to perform different functions for different applications. For instance, you can assign the thumb wheel to do horizontal scrolling in Microsoft Excel and zoom in Microsoft PowerPoint.
When installing Logitech options+ , you will have the possibility to install predefined app-specific settings that will adapt the mouse button behavior to be optimized in selected applications.
Here are the app specific settings we have created for you:

It has a 25% reduction in packaging carbon footprint compared to the previous generation and has 100% FSC-certified paper in packaging.
Caring for your mouse****
Logitech has carefully selected the materials on your mouse to be stain-
resistant and easy to clean. However bright colors (Off White and Rose Pink)
are more apt to get dirty over normal use.
We recommend the following practices to keep your mouse clean for a longer
time:
– Clean your mouse weekly to avoid getting stains that are hard to remove (see
the link below for cleaning instructions).
– Avoid eating snacks with high pigment or grease concentrations while using
your mouse (fruits, chips, snacks, sweets).
– Avoid touching your face while using your mouse. This will prevent substance
transfer to your device (oil, make up, creams, lotions, perfumes, and so on).
– Avoid using lotions on your hands while using your mouse.
– If you get ink stains on your hands, make sure you remove them with alcohol
wipes before touching your mouse.
In case your mouse has been stained, please see Cleaning your Logitech device.

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.

Logi Options+ issues recognizing devices on macOS when Secure Input is enabled
Ideally, Secure Input should only be enabled while the cursor is active in a
sensitive information field, such as when you enter a password, and should be
disabled right after you leave the password field. However, some applications
may leave the Secure Input state enabled.
In that case, you may experience the following issues with your devices
supported by Logi Options+:
– When the device is paired via Bluetooth, it’s either not detected by
Options+ or none of the software-enabled features work (basic device
functionality will continue to work, however).
– When the device is paired via a Unifying receiver, keyboard shortcuts
assigned to your buttons or keys will not work.
If you encounter these issues, check to see which application has Secure Input
enabled on your system by following these steps:
1. Launch Terminal from /Applications/Utilities folder.
2. Type the following command in Terminal and press Enter :
ioreg -l -d 1 -w 0 | grep SecureInput
1. If the command returns back no information, then Secure Input is not
enabled on the system.
2. If the command returns back some information, then look for
“kCGSSessionSecureInputPID”=xxxx. The number xxxx points to the Process ID (
PID ) of the application/process that has Secure Input enabled:
3. Launch Activity Monitor from /Applications/Utilities folder.
4. Search for PID (from step 2) which has secure input enabled to
figure out which application/process has secure input enabled
Once you know which application has Secure Input enabled, close that application to resolve the issues with Logitech Options+.
Sometimes, some applications including Webroot Secure Anywhere and LastPass may always leave secure input enabled. In that case, connect your device via a USB receiver or pause the application that’s causing the issue for your devices to work. Please note that pausing the application could mean you may lose any security and privacy protections the app was providing.
Troubleshooting : Flow
What is Logitech Flow and how do I set it up and troubleshoot it?
Introduction to Flow
Logitech Flow allows you to use and control multiple computers seamlessly.
You can switch to another computer by simply moving your cursor to the edge of the screen. You can also effortlessly transfer text, images, or files between computers — just copy on one and paste to the other.
You can even use Flow between Windows and macOS.
Setting up Flow
Setting up Logitech Flow is quick and easy. To set up Flow:
– Download and Install Logi Options+ — Download and install Logi Options+
on your computers.
– Pair your mouse to the computers — Logitech Flow uses Logitech Easy-
Switch™ technology to switch between your computers. You need to pair your
mouse via the USB receiver or Bluetooth on different channels (1, 2, and 3) to
your computers. You can find instructions to pair your mouse to a computer
here. You can use two or
three different computers on your Logitech Flow configuration.
– Connect computers to the same network — Make sure all your computers
are connected to the same wireless or wired network. In office environments,
where network ports can be blocked, you might need to talk to your network
administrator in case Logitech Flow cannot establish a connection.
– Set up Logitech Flow — When you set up Logitech Flow, your computer
will find other computers on the network that are paired to the same mouse.
Please wait for the connection process to take place so you can start using
Logitech Flow. If other computers could not be found on your network, you
might need to enable Logitech Flow on your other computer(s) — make sure you
have an active internet connection for the initial connection to be
established.
If you have problems during the setup process, please refer to the troubleshooting section below.
Using Flow
After setting up Logitech Flow, you can automatically switch between computers
just by moving your mouse cursor to the edge of the screen. To change the
behavior of Flow to your specific needs, you can customize it from the Flow
tab in the app.
Enable/Disable Flow
You can enable or disable Flow whenever you like. Your computer arrangement
and preferences won’t be lost. This is ideal if you want to temporarily
disable Logitech Flow.
Manage your computers
You can rearrange your computer setup to match your desktop layout by dragging
and dropping them to the desired position.
Logitech Flow supports two or three computers, depending on how many Easy-
Switch devices your mouse supports. You can add an additional computer by
clicking on the Add Computer button. Make sure to follow the setup process for
each computer before clicking the add computers button.
Click the more options button for each computer to disable or remove it.
Disable — temporarily disables a computer until you re-enable it. This
is ideal if you don’t want to temporarily automatically switch to this
computer.
Remove — permanently removes a computer from Logitech Flow. You won’t be
able to automatically switch to it. Your mouse will still be paired to your
computer, so you can still use your mouse’s Easy-Switch™ button to switch to
it.
Switch between computers
Move to the edge — switch between computers just by reaching the edge of
the screen.
Hold Ctrl and move to the edge — switch between computers by holding the
Ctrl key on your keyboard and moving to the edge of the screen with your mouse
cursor.
Copy and Paste
With copy and paste enabled, you can copy text, images, and files from one
computer and paste them on another. Just copy the content you want on one
computer, switch to another computer using Logitech Flow, and paste the
content. Transferring content and files depends on your network speed. Large-
sized images or files might take minutes to be transferred.
Note: Certain file types, which can be opened on one system, might not be
supported on another if the application that supports it is not installed.
Note: Dragging files from one computer to drop on another is not supported by
Logitech Flow.
Keyboard Link
With a compatible Logitech keyboard, you can have the best Logitech Flow
experience. If you have a Logitech Flow supported keyboard, you’ll be able to
link it to your mouse so it follows your mouse when you switch to another
computer. Your keyboard will be available in the drop-down list if it’s paired
to your Logitech Flow computers.
Note: Make sure your keyboard is paired and listed as a device. In case it’s
not listed, try switching between computers and re-launching the app.
Logitech Flow supported keyboards: You can find a list of Logitech Flow supported keyboards
Troubleshooting Flow
I get a message saying that Logitech Flow was unable to find or establish a
connection to other computers, what can I do?
Logitech Flow relies on your network for its initial configuration and regular
use. Follow the steps below to start using Logitech Flow:
1. Make sure your mouse shows up on Options+ on all computers.
2. Make sure that your computers are connected to the same network.
3. Make sure that the Options+ communication channel is not blocked by any
firewall or antivirus application.
4. Make sure that you have a working internet connection.
5. Make sure that you have enabled Flow on all computers.
Not e: Logitech Flow uses the network to link multiple (up to three)
computers and allow them to share a mouse and keyboard. To accomplish this,
Flow uses a fixed UDP port (59870) to listen for and discover other computers
that are on the same subnet and can ping each other using UDP broadcasts.
How do I pair my mouse to another computer?
To learn how to pair your mouse to different computers, please visit
Logitech’s support page to find specific
connection information for your device.
I keep switching to the other computer by mistake when I reach the edge
Enable the Hold Ctrl and move to the edge option on Options+. This will
allow you to have more control and switch only when your keyboard Ctrl key is
down and you reach the designated edge.
When my computer goes to sleep or it’s on the login screen, Logitech Flow
does not work. Why does that happen?
Logitech Flow relies on your network connection to automatically find other
computers during setup, switch between computers, and transfer content across
them. Depending on your computer settings, your network connection is disabled
while your computer is asleep and Flow might not be running. To use Flow, make
sure your computer is awake, you’re logged in and the network connection is
established.
I transfer certain files but I’m unable to open them on my other
computer?
Logitech Flow can transfer text, images, and files across computers using the
clipboard. This means you can copy content from one machine, switch to another
computer and paste the file. If you don’t have an application that can open
that file it might not be recognized by your operating system.
I have a keyboard paired to both computers but I don’t see my keyboard as
an option on the drop-down list, what should I do?
If you still continue to have issues, try restarting both computers and
enabling the Keyboard link on Options+.
1. Make sure that you have a Logitech Flow supported keyboard.
2. Make sure that the keyboard shows up in Options+ on all your computers.
Try switching between the computers using the Easy-Switch key and restarting
Options+ to make sure it’s connected. If you still continue to have issues,
try restarting both computers.
Unable to Flow into one of my computers after changing connection type or channel for that computer
If you connect your mouse on a different channel or with a different
connection type to the computer that was previously set up in a Flow network,
you will be unable to flow into that computer. To resolve this issue, please
try the following steps on that computer:
1. Open Options+ app and click on the flow-enabled mouse. Visit the Flow
tab, click on more settings and Reset flow
2. Close the app
3. Remove the flow folder
On Mac
Open Finder and in menu bar items, click on Go -> Go to folder ,
enter ~/Library/Application Support/LogiOptionsPlus and remove flow
folder
On Windows
Open File Explorer and go to
C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalLogiOptionsPlus and remove flow folder
4. Restart the computer
5. Open Options+ app and setup Flow again
Flow screen does not load in Logi Options+. How can I resolve it?
If the Flow screen does not load and is stuck with the loading spinner, please
turn off your mouse and turn it back on to resolve it.
We are working on this issue and will fix it in one of our upcoming updates.
Flow does not work from macOS 12.4 onwards when my devices are connected via Bluetooth
From macOS 12.4 onwards, Options+ needs Bluetooth permission to detect a
Bluetooth device if it’s not actively connected to that computer. If the app
does not have the Bluetooth permission, you will not be able to Flow into that
computer as it cannot detect the device. To resolve this issue, please grant
Bluetooth permission by following the below instructions:
1. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy.
2. Select Bluetooth from the left menu.
3. Click the lock icon at the bottom left corner and enter your password to
unlock.
4. In the right panel, check the box for Logi Options+ and select Quit &
Reopen when prompted to grant permission.
NOTE: If you clicked Later , please uncheck the checkbox for Logi Options+, check it again, and press Quit Now when prompted.

Does Options+ have native support for Apple silicon (M1) computers?
Yes, Options+ has native support for Apple silicon computers starting with version 0.90.
Please note that the Logi Bolt app to pair your device to your computer doesn’t have native support for Apple silicon. You can still install and use it via the Rosetta emulator that macOS prompts you to install when you launch the Logi Bolt installer.
The Logi Bolt app features will be added to Options+ in March 2022 after which, you will no longer need the Logi Bolt app.
Check for firmware updates button does not do anything on my M1 Mac computer without Rosetta installed
We have an issue wherein the Check for firmware update button in the device settings does not open the firmware update tool on M1 Mac computers if Rosetta is not installed. The firmware update tool requires Rosetta to run on M1 Mac computers. While we address this issue, you can open the firmware update tool from /Library/ApplicationSupport/Logitech.localized/LogiOptionsPlus to check for and install firmware updates. When you open the tool, you’ll be prompted to install Rosetta. Please click install to open the tool.
We will be integrating the firmware update tool into Options+ in the future at which point, Rosetta will not be needed for installing firmware updates.
Why is Options+ showing up under Location Services on my Mac?
Options+ does not need and does not use your location. It is getting added to your location services on macOS due to an issue with a framework we use in the app. The entry for Options+ is unchecked by default and you can leave it unchecked, thereby not sharing your location. Meanwhile, we are working on getting the issue fixed.
Is Options+ compatible with macOS Universal Control? Why does my customization not work when I switch to a computer via Universal Control?
Yes, Options+ is compatible with macOS Universal Control. But there are a few
limitations as described below:
1. When Universal Control is used to switch from Computer A to Computer B,
your Logitech devices are not physically connected to Computer B. So, any
configuration you have for your device via Options+ will not work in Computer
B. Your device will work as it would if Options+ were not installed. For your
device configuration in computer B to work, you will need to connect to
computer B directly or using our Flow feature.
2. If the Flow feature is set up between the two computers and Universal
Control is enabled, Universal control takes precedence and Flow doesn’t work.
To use Flow, please disable Universal Control.
Unable to remove inactive Bluetooth device from the app on macOS 12
On some macOS 12 computers, inactive devices connected via Bluetooth still remain on the app UI even after they are removed from the Bluetooth menu. If you experience this issue, restart your computer to remove the device from the app UI.
Flow does not work from macOS 12.4 onwards when my devices are connected via Bluetooth
From macOS 12.4 onwards, Options+ needs Bluetooth permission to detect a
