Battery Status Notification
Your keyboard has an LED near the On/Off switch to let you know the battery status. The LED will be green from 100% to 11% and turn red from 10% and below. Turn off the backlighting to continue typing for more than 500 hours when the battery is low.
To charge, plug in the USB-C cable at the top right corner of your keyboard. You can continue typing while it is charging.
Smart backlighting
Your keyboard has an embedded ambient light sensor that reads and adapts the level of backlighting accordingly.
Room brightness | Backlight level |
---|---|
Low light – under 100 lux | L4 – 50% |
High light – over 100 lux | L0 – no backlight* |
*Backlight is turned OFF.
There are eight total backlight levels. You can change the backlight level at any time with two exceptions: the backlight cannot be turned ON when:
- the room brightness is high, over 100 lux
- the keyboard battery is low
Software notifications
Install Logitech Options software to get the most out of your keyboard. You can find more information here.
- Backlight level notifications
You can see the backlight level changes in real-time.
- Backlighting disabled
There are two factors that will disable backlighting:
When your keyboard has only 10% of battery left, this message will appear when you try to enable backlighting. If you want the backlight back, plug in your keyboard to charge it.
When the environment around you is too bright, your keyboard will automatically disable backlighting to avoid using it when not needed. This will also allow you to use it longer with backlight in low light conditions. You will see this notification when you try to turn backlighting ON.
- Low battery
When your keyboard reaches 10% of battery left, backlighting turns OFF and you get a battery notification on the screen.
- F-Keys switch
When you press Fn + Esc you can swap between the Media keys and F-Keys.
We’ve added a notification so you know when you’ve swapped the keys.
NOTE: By default, the keyboard has direct access to Media Keys.

Q/A
MX Keys Mini Rose and Pale Gray keyboard backlighting changes by itself
Your keyboard is equipped with an ambient light sensor that adapts the
keyboard backlight according to the brightness of your room.
There are two default backlight levels that switch automatically:
– If the room starts getting dark (below 100 lux), the keyboard will set the
backlighting to level 4. You can of course override this default level and
increase or decrease the level.
– When the room is bright, over 100 lux, the backlighting will turn OFF as the
contrast is no longer visible, and it won’t drain your battery unnecessarily.
When your keyboard is kept ON, it will detect whenever your hands approach and
the backlight will be turned back on. The backlighting won’t turn back on if:
– Your keyboard has no more battery, below 10%.
– If the environment you’re in is too bright.
– If you’ve turned it off manually or using Logitech Options software.
Proximity detection and backlight behavior while charging the MX Keys Mini Keyboard
Your keyboard is equipped with a proximity sensor that detects when your hands hover close to the keyboard.
Proximity detection will not work when the keyboard is charging you have to press a key on the keyboard to turn the backlight on. Turning the keyboard backlight off while charging will help with the charging time.
The backlighting will stay on for five minutes after typing, so if you are working in the dark, the keyboard will not turn off while typing.
Once fully charged and the charging cable is removed, proximity detection will work again.
Logi Bolt does not work or is not recognized
If your device stops responding, first confirm that the Logi Bolt receiver is
working properly. Use the steps below:
1. Open Device Manager and make sure your product is listed.
2. If the receiver is plugged into a USB hub or extender, try plugging it
into a port directly on the computer
3. Windows only — try a different USB port. If it makes a difference,
try updating the motherboard USB chipset driver.
4. If the receiver is Logi Bolt ready, identified by this logo open Logi
Bolt Software and check if the device is found there.
5. If not, follow the steps to connect the device to a Logi Bolt
receiver.
6. Try using the receiver on a different computer.
7. If it’s still not working on the second computer, check Device
Manager to see if the device is recognized.
If your product is still not recognized, the fault is most likely related to the USB receiver rather than the keyboard or mouse. Please contact Customer Support.
Unable to pair to Logi Bolt Receiver
If you’re unable to pair your device to the Logi Bolt receiver, 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 Logi Bolt Software and see if your device is listed there. If it’s not
listed, follow the steps to connect the device to a Logi Bolt receiver. See
Connect a new device to a Logi Bolt USB
receiver for more
information.
How can I tell if my device is Logi Bolt ready?
Logi Bolt devices can be recognized by this logo, found on the back of the device next to the Bluetooth logo:
Are Logi Bolt devices compatible with Unifying USB receivers?
Logi Bolt devices are not compatible with Unifying USB receivers, and Unifying devices are not compatible with Logi Bolt USB receivers.
Connect a new device to a Logi Bolt USB receiver
Your Logi Bolt can host up to six devices.
To add a new device to an existing Logi Bolt receiver:
1. Open Logitech Options.
2. Click Add Device , and then Add a Bolt device.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE: If you don’t have Logitech Options you can download it here.
You can determine if your USB receiver is a Logi Bolt by the logo on the
bottom right side:

For information on how to pair a second computer, see Pair to a second computer with Easy- Switch.
Do I need a Bolt receiver to use a device that is Logi Bolt compatible?
No, your device was designed to fully perform through Bluetooth connectivity. Logi Bolt is only recommended for users who work in crowded environments with many other wireless devices.
What operating systems is my keyboard compatible with?
You can find compatibility information for your keyboard on the product’s page on Logitech.com. On the product’s page, scroll down to “SPECS & DETAILS”. You’ll find the operating system compatibility based on your connectivity choice, Bluetooth or USB receiver.
Pair your Bluetooth keyboard to a different device with Easy-Switch
Your keyboard can be paired with up to three different computers using the
Easy-Switch button to change the channel.
1. Select the channel you want and press and hold the Easy-Switch button for
three seconds. This will put the keyboard in discoverable mode so that it can
be seen by your computer. The LED will start blinking quickly.
2. Open the Bluetooth settings on your computer to complete the pairing. More
details here.
3. Once paired, a short press on the Easy-Switch button will allow you
to switch channels.
Dictation key does not work
First, make sure you have the latest version of Logi Options software
installed. You can download the software here.
The dictation feature of your device can be enabled once you have installed
the software.
To use dictation:
– Make sure your cursor is on an active text field
– Press the dictation key and start speaking
Mute / unmute microphone does not work
First, make sure you have the latest version of Logitech Options+ or Logitech
Options software installed. You can download them
here.
The mute and unmute microphone feature of your device can only be enabled once
you have installed the software.
Mute/unmute microphone works on a system level, not on an application level.
When you press the key to mute, you will see the image shown below on the top
right corner of your screen.
This means your system’s microphone is muted. If you are unmuted on a video conferencing app (ex. Zoom or Microsoft Teams) but can see this sign, you will not be heard when speaking. You’ll need to press the mute/unmute once more to be unmuted.
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.
How to enable direct access to F-keys
Your keyboard has by default access to the Media and Hotkeys such as Volume
Up, Play/Pause, Desktop view, and so on.
If you prefer to have direct access to your F-keys simply press Fn +
Esc on your keyboard to swap them.
You can download Logitech Options to get on-screen notifications when you swap
from one to the other. Find the software
here.
Keyboard backlight does not turn on
Your keyboard backlight will automatically turn off under the following
conditions:
– The keyboard is equipped with an ambient light sensor — it assesses the
amount of light around you and adapts the backlight accordingly. If there is
enough light, it turns the keyboard backlight off to prevent draining the
battery.
– When your keyboard’s battery is low, it turns the backlight off to allow you
to continue working without disruption.
Backup device settings to the cloud in Logitech Options+
– INTRODUCTION
– HOW IT WORKS
– WHAT SETTINGS GET BACKED UP
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:
1. Clean the button/key with compressed air.
2. Verify the product or receiver is connected directly to the computer and
not to a hub, extender, switch or something similar.
3. Unpair/repair or disconnect/reconnect hardware.
4. Upgrade firmware if available.
5. Windows only — try a different USB port. If it makes a difference,
try updating the motherboard USB chipset driver.
6. 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.

Backup device settings to the cloud in Logitech Options+
– INTRODUCTION
– HOW IT WORKS
– WHAT SETTINGS GET BACKED UP
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
Why is my device not detected in Options+?
Please check [here](https://www.logitech.com/software/logi-options-plus.html

– Troubleshooting Flow
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 here.
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.
Note: 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
4. Open Finder and in menu bar items, click on Go -> Go to folder

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
– If the command returns back no information, then Secure Input is not
enabled on the system.
– 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:
– Launch Activity Monitor from /Applications/Utilities folder.
– 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.
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:
– 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.
– 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
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

What type of USB does the Logi Bolt receiver use?
The Logi Bolt receiver uses USB 2.0 Type-A.
What version of the Bluetooth core specifications is Logi Bolt connectivity based on?
Our Logi Bolt wireless devices are Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 or higher. We are
actively using all the security mechanisms introduced in Bluetooth Low Energy
Core Specification 4.2.
From a backward compatibility standpoint, Logi Bolt wireless devices are able
to communicate with Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0 hosts or higher when in direct
Bluetooth connection.
What is the effective range of Logi Bolt?
Logi Bolt wireless devices are Bluetooth Class 2, which means up to 10 meters wireless range.
What Security Manager Protocols does Logi Bolt use for pairing, bonding, encryption and signing?
The Logi Bolt security level used by our Logi Bolt devices during the communication are the following:
Logi Bolt Receiver Connection | Direct Bluetooth Connection | |
---|---|---|
Keyboard | Security Mode 1 – Security Level 4 |
Also called Secure Connections Only mode, this is the security level enforced
when Logi Bolt wireless mice and keyboards are paired to a Logi Bolt USB
receiver.| Security Mode 1 – Security Level 3
With a keyboard in direct connection, we have a pairing with 6-digit Passkey
entry.
Mouse| Security Mode 1 – Security Level 2
With a mouse in direct connection, we have ‘just works’ pairing.
Are PIN codes used for authentication with Logi Bolt
Logi Bolt does not use PIN codes. It uses Passkey during the authentication
phase of pairing.
– In the context of a Logi Bolt wireless keyboard, it’s a 6-digit passkey
(which means an entropy of 2^20).
– In the context of a Logi Bolt wireless mouse, it’s a 10-click passkey (which
means an entropy of 2^10). At this time, we believe Logi Bolt is the only
wireless protocol that enforces mouse authentication across all compatible
operating systems.
Does Logi Bolt use Just Works security mode
Just Works pairing to Logi Bolt USB receivers is not permitted. All Logi Bolt
wireless mice and keyboards pair with the Logi Bolt USB receiver in Security
Mode 1 – Security Level 4, also called Secure Connections Only mode.
If you or your organization have concerns or don’t permit direct Bluetooth
connections yet want the convenience and better experience wireless computer
peripherals offer, you can pair Logi Bolt wireless mice and keyboards to Logi
Bolt USB receivers.
In addition, our Logi Bolt wireless mice and keyboards can also direct-connect
to host computers via Bluetooth. In these cases where the Logi Bolt receiver
is not used:
– For Logi Bolt wireless keyboard direct Bluetooth connections, Passkey is
requested per industry standard.
– For Logi Bolt wireless mouse direct Bluetooth connections, Just Works
Pairing is used per industry standard as there is no Passkey pairing standard
for mice.
If the Logi Bolt device supports multiple pairings, does it use random/unique codes or static
Users can pair up to six Logi Bolt wireless mice and keyboards to a single Logi Bolt USB receiver. Each pairing uses a different Bluetooth address and different long term keys (LTK) and session keys for encryption.
Are Logi Bolt devices discoverable when actively initiated
Our Logi Bolt wireless devices are only discoverable during a pairing procedure which can be entered only upon explicit user action (a long 3-second press to the connect button).
Is the firmware of the Logi Bolt devices patchable should a vulnerability be discovered
Yes. Our Logi Bolt wireless devices’ firmware can be updated by our software or via network push by IT administrators. However, we implemented anti- rollback protection for security patches. That means that an attacker cannot downgrade the firmware version to “reinstall” a patched vulnerability. Also, users and IT administrators cannot “restore factory settings”, eliminating security patches.
Does Logi Bolt meet the security requirements of most companies in regulated industries such as financial services, healthcare
Logi Bolt was designed to address growing security concerns resulting from an increasingly mobile workforce — work from home being an obvious example. When paired with a Logi Bolt receiver, Logi Bolt wireless products use Bluetooth security mode 1, level 4 (also known as Secure Connections Only mode), which is U.S. Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliant.
Has Logitech conducted security testing on its implementation of the Bluetooth stack in the Logi Bolt devices
Yes, Logitech received a third-party security assessment from a leading cybersecurity company. With that said, cybersecurity exposure constantly changes with new threats or vulnerabilities often on the horizon. That is one of the primary reasons we designed Logi Bolt based on Bluetooth Low Energy wireless technology. Bluetooth has a global community of more than 36,000 companies — its Special Interest Group (SIG) — on constant watch and dedicated to continual improvement, protection, and evolution of Bluetooth technology.
Did Logitech fix Logitech Unifying wireless security issues in Logi Bolt
If an attacker attempts to impersonate a Logi Bolt wireless product to
communicate with the Logi Bolt USB Receiver via RF, does the USB Receiver
accept that input
The usage of Secure Connections Only mode (Security Mode 1, Security Level 4)
ensures that the communication is encrypted and authenticated. This means that
there is a protection against on-path attackers which mitigates the risk of
keystroke injection.
- Today there is no known attack on the Bluetooth Low Energy standard.
For the Logi Bolt USB Receiver to accept input, does the input need to be encrypted
Yes, the usage of Secure Connections Only mode (Security Mode 1, Security Level 4) ensures that the communication is encrypted and authenticated.
Is there a means for an attacker to derive or steal the per-device link- encryption keys that pair the wireless product to the USB Receiver from RF enabling the attacker to inject arbitrary keystrokes or eavesdrop and live decrypt input remotely
Sensitive data like link encryption keys are protected when stored on the Logi Bolt USB receiver.
With the LE Secure Connection (Security Mode 1, Security Level 2 and above), the Long Term Key (LTK) is generated on both sides in such a way that an eavesdropper cannot guess it (Diffie-Hellman key exchange).
Can a remote attacker pair a new Logi Bolt wireless product to a Logi Bolt receiver, even if the user has not put the Logi Bolt USB receiver into pairing mode
The receiver has to be in pairing mode to accept a new pairing.
Moreover, even if an attacker tricks the user to put the receiver in pairing mode, we included a software-enable capability that alerts on the host monitor that there has been a change in the USB receiver to which the wireless device is paired (alarm notification).
Corporate policy does not allow use of Bluetooth connections. Can we deploy Logi Bolt wireless products?
Yes, Logi Bolt wireless mice and keyboards are in fact ideal for environments that do not permit Bluetooth connections. Though Logi Bolt is based on Bluetooth, it is an end-to-end closed system where a Logi Bolt receiver is emitting an encrypted signal that only connects with Logi Bolt products. So the Logi Bolt USB receiver can’t be paired with any non-Logi Bolt device. And because Logi Bolt works with most enterprise operating systems and is securely paired right out of the box, it makes procurement and set up that much easier.
Which products have Logi Bolt connectivity?
To see the Logi Bolt product line-up, visit logitech.com/LogiBolt.
Are Logi Bolt wireless products cross-compatible with Logitech Unifying wireless products?
Logi Bolt wireless products cannot be paired with a Logitech Unifying USB
receiver and vice versa. Logitech Unifying wireless products cannot be paired
to a Logi Bolt USB receiver.
However, in many cases, Logitech Unifying and Logi Bolt products can be used
simultaneously with the same host computer if the host computer has two
available USB-A ports. Just keep this in mind — when possible, the best option
is to plug your Logi Bolt USB receiver into a port, then power on your Logi
Bolt wireless product. This ensures you get the strong signal and security
that Logi Bolt offers when paired with its USB receiver.
How do I use a combination of Logitech wireless products on the same computer?
When possible, the best option is to plug your Logi Bolt USB receiver into a
USB port, then power on your Logi Bolt wireless product. This ensures you get
the strong signal and security that Logi Bolt offers when paired with its USB
receiver. If you have more than one Logi Bolt product, you can (and should)
pair up to six Logi Bolt products to a single Logi Bolt USB receiver.
Start by identifying which USB receiver provides what type of connection.
Visit logitech.com/logibolt for more information.
Next, if unsure what type of wireless mice and keyboards you have, look for a matching logo/design mark on the bottom (the side that rests on the desk surface) of your Logitech wireless products.
1. If you have two available USB A ports:
– Plug in both the Logi Bolt and Logitech Unifying or 2.4 GHz USB receivers.
They can be used on the same computer with their respective wireless products.
No required software downloads in most instances. Simply plug in the USB
receivers, power on wireless products. This ensures you get the strong signal
and security that Logi Bolt offers when paired with its USB receiver.
2. If you only have one available USB A port:
– If you have a 2.4GHz product or if your Unifying wireless product requires a
USB receiver (it does not have Bluetooth as a connection option), plug the 2.4
GHz or Unifying receiver into a port, power on and off your wireless product.
Next, connect your Logi Bolt wireless product via Bluetooth.
– If you have an advanced Unifying wireless product with Bluetooth as a
connection option, connect your advanced Unifying wireless product via
Bluetooth. Next, plug in your Logi Bolt USB receiver into a port. Power on
your Logi Bolt wireless product. This ensures you get the strong signal and
security that Logi Bolt offers when paired with its USB receiver.
3. If you don’t have any USB A ports or none are available:
– In this case, you probably have a Unifying wireless product that has
Bluetooth as a connection option and it’s connected to the computer via
Bluetooth. Simply add your Logi Bolt wireless product via Bluetooth.
Why aren’t Logi Bolt and Logitech Unifying cross-compatible
Logi Bolt is based on the global wireless standard for simple, secure connectivity, Bluetooth Low Energy Wireless Technology. Logitech Unifying is a proprietary 2.4 GHz radio frequency wireless protocol that was developed by Logitech. Plainly, they don’t speak the same language.
Is it possible to pair multiple devices with the same Logi Bolt receiver
Absolutely. Just like Logitech Unifying connectivity protocol, you can pair up
to six Logi Bolt wireless products to a single Logi Bolt USB receiver. In
fact, this feature may be in demand more now than ever with individuals who
have multiple workspaces — office and home. With one set of Logi Bolt
peripherals in the office and another at home, there is no need to carry or
commute your favorite peripherals in between workspaces. Simply position the
laptop or tablet into range and your wireless products will be ready to use
when powered on.
To learn how to pair more than one Logi Bolt wireless product to your Logi
Bolt USB receiver, visit
logitech.com/options to
download Logitech Options software which will walk you through the easy steps.
Will Logitech continue to sell Logitech Unifying wireless products
Starting in 2021, Logi Bolt is Logitech’s new connectivity protocol for wireless mice and keyboards (non-gaming). Logi Bolt may someday be extended to wireless headsets. However, it will take several years before Logitech’s extensive and popular product portfolio is 100% transitioned to Logi Bolt.
Will Logitech continue to provide routine online, telephone and email support for Unifying products
Yes, we will continue to provide Logitech Support for Unifying wireless products.
How do I know if my device is Logitech Unifying or Logi Bolt
Start by identifying which USB receiver provides what type of connection. Visit www.logitech.com/logibolt for more information.
Next, if you’re unsure what type of wireless mice and keyboards you have, look for a matching logo/design mark on the bottom (the side that rests on the desk surface) of your Logitech wireless products.
I lost my Bolt receiver, how do I order a new one
You can order a replacement Logi Bolt USB receiver from logitech.com and from many popular retailers and eTailers.

Reliable use of dictation often requires an internet connection. The Logitech
Dictation key activates enabled Dictation with the press of just one key
instead of a combination of keys or menu navigation activation.
