4. Help with setup

Pointer does not move at all?

Make sure the power switch is in the ON position.
Ensure that the battery polarity is correct. Check battery power by turning the mouse OFF and then ON. If the battery indicator light glows red or does not glow at all, replace the batteries.
Try plugging the Unifying receiver into a different USB port.
Try reconnecting the mouse and Unifying receiver using the Logitech Unifying software (refer to the Unifying section of this guide).

Erratic pointer movement or missed button clicks?

Try using the mouse on a different surface.
Remove metallic objects between the mouse and Unifying receiver.
If the Unifying receiver is plugged into a USB hub, try plugging it directly into
your computer.
Move the Unifying receiver to a USB port closer to the mouse, or go to www.logitech.com/usbextender for a USB extension stand that will allow the Unifying receiver to be placed closer to the mouse.

If these tips fail, contact Logitech Customer Support at www.logitech.com/support, or call using the phone numbers listed in this guide.

Plug it. Forget it. Add to it.

You’ve got a Logitech® Unifying receiver. Now add a compatible wireless keyboard that uses the same receiver as your mouse. It’s easy. Just start the Logitech® Unifying software* and follow the onscreen instructions.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

Logitech Control Center (LCC) and disabling and enabling macOS 11 (Big Sur) System Integrity Protection****

Logitech Control Center (LCC) is not compatible with macOS 11 (Big Sur) due to a new Apple policy that requires significant changes to how our software works.
Certain LCC devices will be supported in an upcoming Logitech Options release, while others will not. You can find more information in regards to this below:

– Which Logitech Control Center (LCC) devices will be supported in Logitech Options?
– Which Logitech Control Center (LCC) devices are not supported in Logitech Options?
As some users may have discovered, it is possible to disable core macOS 11 (Big Sur) security features, specifically System Integrity Protection (SIP), to allow for LCC to run.

Logitech advises strongly against this, as the macOS System Integrity Protection (SIP) protects the entire system by preventing the execution of unauthorized code and leaves your computer vulnerable to malicious code.

Logitech Options and Logitech Control Center macOS message: Legacy System Extension****

If you are using Logitech Options or Logitech Control Center (LCC) on macOS you may see a message that legacy system extensions signed by Logitech Inc. will be incompatible with future versions of macOS and recommending to contact the developer for support. Apple provides more information about this message here: About legacy system extensions.

Logitech is aware of this and we are working on updating Options and LCC software to ensure we comply with Apple’s guidelines and also to help Apple improve its security and reliability.
The Legacy System Extension message will be displayed the first time Logitech Options or LCC loads and again periodically while they remain installed and in use, and until we have released new versions of Options and LCC. We do not yet have a release date, but you can check for the latest downloads here.
NOTE: Logitech Options and LCC will continue to work as normal after you click OK.

macOS Catalina and LCC – How to fix Unifying devices that do not work after update****

We are aware that after upgrading from macOS 10.14 Mojave or earlier to macOS 10.15 Catalina with Logitech Control Center (LCC) versions 3.9.8 or earlier installed, some Logitech Unifying-based devices may stop working. This is a known issue on macOS 10.15 Catalina and we’re actively working with Apple to address it.
In the meantime, if your Unifying device no longer works after upgrading to macOS Catalina, please update to LCC 3.9.9 and reboot the system to complete the installation. You can download LCC 3.9.9 from the Logitech Control Center Download page.
If your device still doesn’t work, please check the version of Unifying drivers that are on your system. Do the following:
1. Launch Terminal from /Applications/Utilities folder,
2. Run the following command:
kextstat | grep -i Logi
3. You should something something similar to the following displayed:
105 1 0xffffff7f8252b000 0x47000 0x47000 com.Logitech.ControlCenter.HIDDriver (3.9.9) BB513FDB-C9C7-3A6F-AD71-58CDD322B095 <104 76 49 25 6 5 3>
106 0 0xffffff7f82582000 0x16000 0x16000 com.Logitech.Unifying.HIDDriver (1.3.9) 4E15EC6B-3BB3-3644-B366-F5EFB857C2BB <105 104 49 25 6 5 3>

If the version displayed for com.Logitech.Unifying.HIDDriver is anything other than 1.3.9 , then the new driver was not properly loaded by macOS Catalina. To fix this issue, please try the following steps:

1. Start your system in Recovery Mode:
– Restart your computer. From the menu bar, click on the Apple logo and select Restart.
– Hold the “ Command ” and “ R ” keys until the Apple logo appears.
2. You should see the “macOS Utilities” screen. If not, repeat step 1.

3. Close this window using the red button on the top left.
4. Click Choose Startup Disk…

5. Select Restart…

6. At the prompt asking “Are you sure you want to restart the computer?”, select Restart. You may see a spinning icon for a few minutes before the system reboots.

Scrolling issues with Windows 8.1 Consumer Preview version****

Initial testing with Windows 8.1 Consumer Preview version reveals a scrolling issue with IE11 and Windows 8 apps, as well as on the Windows Start screen itself:

– Moderate to fast scrolling can become unresponsive until you stop scrolling. Then, the page will jump a long distance, usually to either the beginning or the end.
We’re working with Microsoft to resolve this issue.

As a workaround, you can modify your scrolling settings in IE11. Here’s how:
– Launch IE11.
– Open Internet Options and select the Advanced tab.
– In the Browsing section, clear “Use smooth scrolling”.

4. In the Security section, clear “Enable Enhanced Protected Mode”, and then click OK.
IMPORTANT: Disabling Enhanced Protected Mode degrades the security settings in IE11. Please consider this before you make this change.
5. Restart your computer.

Cleaning your Logitech device****

In the event your Logitech device needs cleaning we have some recommendations:

Before You Clean
– If your device is cabled, please unplug your device from your computer first.
– If your device has user-replaceable batteries, please remove the batteries.
– Be sure to switch off your device and then wait 5-10 seconds before starting to clean.

Unifying receiver storage in the M705 mouse****

Your mouse was designed with a space where you can store the Unifying receiver. When you’re not using the mouse, you can store the receiver inside of it.
To locate the storage space for the Unifying receiver in your mouse:
1. Flip the mouse over and slide the battery cover off.

2. Locate the small rectangular slot next to the battery compartment.
3. Slide the receiver into the slot. It will fit facing either way.
4. Replace the battery cover.
TIP: If you have an extra receiver from any Logitech Unifying device you aren’t currently using, this is a great place to store it.

Erratic scrolling with SetPoint when using Chrome, Internet Explorer, or Windows 8 Start screen apps****

SetPoint versions 6.50 and later include a smooth scrolling plug-in for Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. If you’re having problems with erratic scrolling, please upgrade to SetPoint 6.52 or later, which improves scrolling for these browsers.
After upgrading to SetPoint version 6.52 or later, you may still experience erratic scrolling on individual web sites or pages that implement technologies differently. If you’re using Start screen apps in Windows 8, it’s also possible that the app you’re using can’t properly interpret the smooth scrolling function. In this case, you can also disable the SetPoint smooth scrolling plug-in.

– Google Chrome
– Internet Explorer
– Windows 8 Start screen apps
NOTE: You can disable the SetPoint plug-in for the Internet Explorer and Chrome browsers individually, but if you disable smooth scrolling in SetPoint, it will be disabled for everything: Chrome, Internet Explorer, and the Windows 8 Start screen apps.

Google Chrome****

1. To disable the Logitech SetPoint smooth scrolling plug-in for Google Chrome:
Launch Chrome.
2. Click the icon on the upper-right corner and select Settings.

3. Select Extensions > Logitech SetPoint and clear Enabled.

NOTE: To enable the smooth scrolling plug-in, follow the steps above, and in step 3, click Enable.
4. Close and re-open your browser for the settings to take effect.

Internet Explorer****

To disable the Logitech SetPoint smooth scrolling plug-in for Internet Explorer:
1. Select Control Panel > Network and Internet > Internet Options.
2. On the Programs tab, click Manage add-ons.

3. Select Logitech SetPoint and then click Disable.
NOTE: If the plug-in is currently disabled, the Enable button will appear instead.

4. Click Close to close the dialog box.

NOTE: To enable the smooth scrolling plug-in, follow the steps above, and in step 4, click Enable.
5. Close and re-open your browser for the settings to take effect.

Windows 8 Start screen apps****

If scrolling is too fast or too slow with some of your Windows 8 Start screen apps, try the following:
– If your mouse has a Scroll Left and Scroll Right function, use that instead of the scroll wheel.
– Disable Smooth Scrolling in SetPoint:
1. Launch SetPoint by clicking the SetPoint icon in the Notification area and select Mouse and Keyboard Settings.
2. Click on Pointer Settings , and clear Enable Smooth Scrolling.

3. Click Apply and then OK to exit the SetPoint User Interface.

NOTE: When you disable smooth scrolling in SetPoint, it will be disabled for everything: Chrome, Internet Explorer, and the Windows 8 Start screen apps.

Wireless product not working properly when also using a USB 3.0 device****

When using a USB 2.0 2.4GHz wireless peripheral device (such as a mouse, keyboard, or headphones) with a PC that also has a USB 3.0 peripheral device plugged in, you may experience erratic operation caused by interference. This is especially likely to happen when using USB 3.0 remote hard drives or flash drives.
This interference may result in:
– Delayed response to mouse or keyboard inputs
– Missing keyboard characters or mouse commands
– Decreased operating distance between the USB 2.0 wireless device and its receiver

There are some techniques that can help early adopters of USB 3.0 to mitigate potential problems with their existing 2.4GHz wireless devices:

– If your PC has multiple USB 2.0 connectors available, separate your USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 receivers by as much distance as possible. For example, if your PC has a choice of USB 2.0 connectors, use the one on the opposite side of the PC from the USB 3.0 connector.
– Position your USB 2.0 receiver as close as possible to your wireless peripheral (mouse, keyboard, headphones, etc.).
– Use a standard, USB-extender cable to position your USB 2.0 wireless receiver as far away as possible from your USB 3.0 connector.

A USB-extender cable is available for Logitech customers who are experiencing this problem (click here for more information).

NOTE: A USB 3.0 connector sometimes referred to as Super Speed USB or SS, normally has a blue plastic insert in the connector. Unlike a USB 2.0 connector which has 4 pins within the connector, a USB 3.0 connector has 9 pins.

Move your USB 2.0 wireless receiver to the opposite side of your computer:

Make sure your USB 2.0 wireless receiver is in the USB 2.0 connector closest to your wireless peripheral:

Use a USB extended cable to position your wireless receiver as far away from your USB 3.0 peripheral as possible:

Windows 8 and Windows 10 product support and device compatibility****

To check if your Logitech product works with Windows 8 or Windows 10, first select the appropriate product category from the list below.
– Mice and keyboards
– Tablet and laptop accessories
– Gaming products
– Harmony remotes
– Speakers
– Headphones and headsets
– Smart radios
– Squeezebox network music players
– Alert security cameras
– WiLife security cameras
– Webcams

Cursor does not follow mouse movements****

If the cursor isn’t following the movements of your mouse, we suggest you:
1. Use a mouse pad.
2. Avoid using your mouse on:
– Glass and other see-through surfaces
– Reflective surfaces, such as mirrors and metal desks
– Wood grains and grooved surfaces
3. Try the mouse on a piece of white paper to make sure it isn’t a tracking issue on the particular surface you’re using.

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.

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.

My Unifying mouse or keyboard wakes the computer even when it is set not to****

Symptom
After disabling the ability to wake-up the system in Windows Device Manager, the Unifying mouse or keyboard still brings the system out of sleep mode.

Solution
Even if you bought a mouse-only or keyboard-only product, the Unifying receiver that came with it still enumerates for both the mouse and keyboard interfaces.

Example
If you have two mice attached, then you would need to uncheck the “Allow this device to wake the computer” option for both mice plus a keyboard in the Windows Device Manager.
Use the process below to identify and configure the Unifying devices to not wake up the system in Windows Device Manager.

3. Select and expand either the “Keyboards” or “Mice and other pointing devices” category.
4. Right-click on the first entry and go to Properties > Details tab > Hardware IDs under the Property section.
5. Make sure the Value section contains: HID\VID_046D &PID_C52B. If it doesn’t, click Cancel and open the next mouse or keyboard entry in the list.

6. Select the “Power Management” tab and uncheck the “Allow this device to wake the computer” check box.

Using the M705 mouse with a different USB receiver****

Your M705 mouse ships with the Unifying receiver shown here:

You can connect your mouse with any USB receiver that displays the Unifying logo:

NOTE: Although a device may be supported by the Unifying receiver, Logitech mouse and keyboard software support depends on the specific product. For help with connecting your mouse, see Connecting a device to a Unifying receiver.

M705 operating distance****

In ideal situations, the M705 can operate up to 30 feet (10 meters) with the receiver in clear sight of the mouse.

If you are not getting this distance:
– Replace the batteries with a fresh set.
– Move the USB Unifying receiver to a line of sight or change its positioning.
– Move devices such as cell phones, radios, wireless routers, microwaves, and other devices that emit radio waves or could cause radio interference (RF) away from your work area.

To determine if your environment is causing shorter than expected ranges, try using your M705 in a different environment to see if the distance improves.

Installing new batteries
– When you install new batteries in your mouse, make sure they face the correct direction, as shown:

Battery performance tips
– Your mouse enters standby mode to conserve power when not in use. Here are some other ways you can help extend the battery life:
– Use only alkaline batteries. Non-alkaline batteries (such as NiMH,or NiCd) operate at a lower voltage and may affect the battery life.
– Avoid using your mouse on dark or transparent surfaces, such as glass. These surfaces cause the sensor to use more power.
– Make sure replacement batteries are new and within the manufacturer’s expiration date.
