How to Pair a Logitech Wireless Mouse With

Your PC
Unpack the Logitech mouse from its box and insert a battery into the
mouse. Always make sure you align the batteries in the right direction.
Misalignment with the positive and negative contacts is a simple
mistake. 

1. The mouse comes with a small Bluetooth receiver. Take the USB
receiver and plug it into one of your computer’s open USB slots.

your Bluetooth-enabled PC.

switch on the mouse to turn it on. 

Note: The instructions below apply specifically to Windows 11,

but the steps are similar for all versions of Windows.

1. Go to the Start Menu and select Settings. Alternatively, press

Windows key + I to open Settings with the keyboard shortcut.

Can I Pair Logitech Mouse With Another

Receiver?
A Logitech wireless mouse can pair with one receiver at a time. So,
you cannot pair a Logitech wireless mouse with another receiver if
you lose one of these tiny plugs. But there are two workarounds
offered by Logitech if you lose the original receiver. 

Use the Logitech Unifying Software

Purchase the Unifying USB receiver from Logitech. The dongle gives
you the benefit of connecting six wireless devices to one receiver. The
wireless devices from Logitech should support the Unifying
technology. Look for the orange Unifying logo. 
How to Sync a Logitech Wireless Mouse With a Different Receiver

Do note that a mouse works with one receiver at a time. So, it will no
longer work with its original receiver if you pair it with a Logitech
Unifying receiver.

Use the Logitech Connection Utility

The Logitech Connection Utility is a simple executable software that
can help you pair a Logitech mouse with another receiver. Follow the
simple on-screen instructions—switch the slider off and on to sync the
Logitech wireless mouse with a different receiver.  
The Logitech Connection Utility is Windows-only software. Do note it
might not work with all Logitech mouse models.

A Bluetooth mouse and aJUMP TO Amouse

wireless SECTIONare both “wireless.” But they
differ in the way they connect with the computer. A wireless mouse
TECH FOR HUMANS
uses a dedicated receiver that plugs into the USB port on the
computer, while a Bluetooth mouse uses the computer's Bluetooth
antenna to pair with the mouse.

FAQ
How do I enable pairing mode on my mouse?
Locate the Bluetooth pairing button on your mouse, which is typically
a toggle button on the bottom of the device. Turn the switch on and
make sure the mouse is on before pairing with a compatible
computer or another device.

Why won't my Logitech mouse connect?

On Bluetooth mice, make sure the device and Bluetooth pairing
modes are on. Try disabling and enabling Bluetooth on your mouse
and computer to see if that clears up the issue. If your device uses a
Unifying Receiver and the Unifying Receiver Software can't find your
mouse, turn it off and on again to restart the receiver pairing process.
