How to Connect Logitech Bluetooth Mouse with PC?
When you want to connect a Logitech Bluetooth mouse to your PC, there are several steps that you will need to follow.
- First, you must ensure that your PC has Bluetooth enabled and that the mouse is turned on.
- Then, it would help if you went to the Start Menu and selected Settings. From there, you should be able to find and choose the option for Bluetooth & other devices in the window’s left pane.
- Next, you will need to select Add device in the main settings window. If it is not already helped, click on the switch next to this option to enable Bluetooth.
- Once your computer has detected your Logitech Bluetooth mouse, you should be able to see its name listed in the list of available devices.

How to install the Wireless Mouse on Windows
Firstly, open the Start icon from the bottom left end of the Windows taskbar. Here, choose ‘Settings’ and then pick ‘Devices.’ At the ‘Devices’ menu, you will notice an option named ‘Add Bluetooth or other devices.’ When you choose this option, you will see available Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Before proceeding, check that your mouse is switched on. If not, press the Connect button in the above-explained manner. Also, some of the mouse devices carry a Channel switch. The purpose of this button is to give you the choice of Bluetooth channels while pairing. Your mouse may or may not have this, but if it is there, it ensures that you have pressed it and chosen the appropriate channel before pushing Connect.
When you press the Connect switch, your mouse appears in the Bluetooth options on your PC. Click on the appropriate device name, which will appear in the ‘available devices’ menu. Then, click on its name again, and the wireless mouse will start working.
How to install the Wireless Mouse on Mac
You must click on the ‘Bluetooth’ icon at the top right of your Mac’s menu bar. You will see a choice to display ‘Bluetooth Preferences.’ This option shows a list of Bluetooth-enabled devices paired with your PC.
Then, turn on the wireless mouse and press the ‘Connect’ switch. Concerning the ‘Channel’ switch, do as explained above. When the mouse has switched on, it will be discoverable on the Mac in the options given under ‘Bluetooth Preferences.’ Once you see its name, click on the ‘Connect’ option on Mac (present beside the name).
If the mouse is installed, it says ‘Connected,’ and now there will be no ‘Connect’ option alongside its name. Finally, check the mouse by moving it around.
You can go even further, pairing two Logitech Devices with the same USB Receiver. See the instructions in the video below:
Wireless MouseTroubleshooting
If the mouse doesn’t work, you need to examine certain things. Firstly, check if the mouse is switched on. Then see if it is within 30 feet range of the USB receiver. Next, ensure that the receiver is properly plugged in. Sometimes, the issue may be with a particular USB port. You may try using another USB port of your system.
You may have to change the receiver if the mouse still doesn’t function. For this, download ‘SetPoint Logitech Mouse and Keyboard Software’ on Mac or ‘Logitech Connection Utility Software on Windows. These applications will help you connect the mouse to the new receiver. Both applications are pretty easy to understand. All you need to do is follow their instructions to complete the installation process.
While either of the above techniques will let you point out the fault, sometimes it’s just an improper battery insertion. So, always check if the batteries are inserted well and in the correct direction.
Final Tips
- When the driver installation is complete, the wireless mouse must start functioning instantly. But if that doesn’t happen, you may need to restart your PC.
- The on-screen instructions for downloading the driver may differ for various Logitech models.
Conclusion
To connect a Logitech mouse to a PC, you must first install the driver software that comes with your mouse. This can typically be done by inserting the CD that came with your mouse into your computer’s disc drive and following the prompts.
Once the drivers have been successfully installed, you will need to connect the USB, or Bluetooth receiver included with your mouse to an available USB port on your computer. Once the receiver has been secured, plug in or turn on your mouse to start using it.
If you have difficulty connecting your Logitech mouse, it may be helpful to consult the manufacturer’s instructions or contact their customer support for additional assistance.
