FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when you right-click in iPadOS?****

A right-click is comparable to a long-press with your finger. Using the mouse, there’s no need to hold down to have the menu appear — it shows in an instant.
NOTE: This functionality is subject to support by the app maker.

Change the scrolling direction of mouse on iPadOS****

You can change the scrolling direction of your mouse from Natural Scrolling to the other direction. Here’s how:
1. Go to  Settings  >  General  >  Trackpad and Mouse.
2. Slide the toggle to the left to turn off  Natural Scrolling.

Pair Logitech mouse to iPad using Bluetooth****

To pair your mouse to iPad, do the following:
1. Turn your mouse ON.
The LED should start blinking fast. If it doesn’t, perform a long press on the Easy-Switch button on the mouse.
2. Open the iPad Settings and tap  Bluetooth  settings.
3. Choose your mouse in the list of  Devices.

Warning message when Logitech device is connected to iPadOS****

When you connect your Logitech device, you might see a warning message.
If this happens, make sure to connect only the devices you’ll be using. The more devices that are connected, the more interference you might have between them.
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.

Logitech mouse AssistiveTouch pointer support on iPadOS****

Moving a pointer on iPadOS
iPad OS 13.1 lets you use a mouse as a pointer with the AssistiveTouch feature. This feature is intended to help people who have difficulty using the touch screen, but it can also be useful for advanced users. For example:

Getting things done on the go

A Logitech mobile mouse such as MX Anywhere 2S can be a good addition to the Logitech Slim Folio Pro Keyboard Case for productive sessions on the go. The mouse will be quite efficient for text editing, scrolling in spreadsheets and navigating between apps.

Working with multiple devices at your desk

Logitech multi-device keyboards and mice allow you to work on multiple computers, and tablets, and switch between them with the press of a button. You can start a report on your computer, and then switch to your iPad to write a quick message.

Presenting from your iPad

When presenting with your iPad connected to a large screen, Logitech Spotlight Presentation Remote lets you control your slides and point out precise areas of focus in your presentation by moving the iPadOS pointer. (Note: Logitech Presentation software cannot be installed on iPadOS. The Spotlight effect and other software-enabled features are not available on iPad).

How does it work?
The pointer looks like a circle, designed to simulate the touch of a finger. You can use the mouse as if you moved a finger on the screen. Clicking will be like tapping the screen with the finger.
The mouse can be connected using Bluetooth or the wireless USB dongle using a USB adapter. You will need to enable AssistiveTouch in the Accessibility settings. See more setup details below.

Which Logitech mice are supported?
Pointing, clicking, right-click and scrolling are supported on iPadOS 13.1 for most Logitech Bluetooth mice. The supported mice are MX Master 3, MX Master 2S, MX Anywhere 2S, MX Vertical, MX Ergo, M720 Triathlon Mouse, M585, and M350 Pebble Mouse.
NOTE: Logitech Options software and software-related features are not supported on iPadOS.

Limitations
– Enabling the pointer and the AssistiveTouch requires to go multiple levels into the iPad settings. See the setup instructions below.
– iPadOS is enabling pointer movement as an AssistiveTouch feature. This means that the behavior of the pointer will be like moving a finger on the screen, not like using a cursor on a computer.
– Scrolling direction is fixed to “natural scrolling” and cannot be changed. Scrolling doesn’t work in all applications.

Set up and use a Logitech mouse on iPad OS
Make sure you have iPadOS installed on your iPad iPadOS can be installed on the following devices:
– All iPad Pros
– iPad (5th and 6th generation)
– iPad mini (5th generation)
– iPad mini 4
– iPad Air (3rd generation)
– iPad Air 2

Bluetooth Pairing
1. Turn on your mouse and do a long-press on the Bluetooth Easy-Switch button.
2. The Bluetooth LED will start blinking quickly, indicating your mouse is in discoverable mode.
3. Complete the pairing in the Bluetooth settings on your iPad.

1. Go to  Settings  >  Accessibility  >  Touch.
2. Enable  AssistiveTouch.

You should see the following appear on your screen:
Pointer circle

The pointer appears when the mouse is connected. You can move this pointer with your mouse. When you click, it will act as a finger doing a tap on the screen

  Mouse button mapping
By default, the mouse buttons are assigned to the following actions:

Pointer Settings
You can change the tracking speed of the pointer:

You can also customize the size and color of the pointer:

Customize the mouse buttons
You can customize the actions that will be associated with the different mouse buttons:
1. Go to  Settings  >  Accessibility  >  Touch  >  Devices.

2. Select the connected device you want to customize.

You can also customize additional buttons to use the “Back” and “Forward” buttons of your Logitech Mouse to do things like showing Notifications or using the Dock.

Using the on-screen keyboard
Most of our mice have advanced buttons that are recognized by the system as keyboard shortcuts. Due to this, when a mouse is connected, the system believes that an external keyboard is also connected and the on-screen keyboard will disappear.
If you don’t use an external keyboard and want to keep using the on-screen keyboard, make sure that  Show Onscreen Keyboard  is enabled.

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

3. Plug the Unifying receiver into a working port. The channel LED will stop blinking and glow steadily.

NOTE: A USB-A port required.

About the shape of the MX Vertical****

The shape of MX Vertical is designed to give full palm support while you use the mouse — your hand and wrist maintain a more natural position and grip.

How to reconnect the MX Vertical mouse to a Unifying receiver****
