How do I connect my Logitech mouse to my MacBook?

Answered by Jarrod Smith

To connect your Logitech wireless mouse to your MacBook, follow these steps:

1. Turn on your mouse and ensure it is within range of your MacBook. Most Logitech mice have a power switch or button on the bottom or side of the mouse. Flip the switch or press the button to turn it on.

2. On your MacBook, click the Apple icon in the top-left corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear.

3. From the drop-down menu, select “System Preferences.” This will open the System Preferences window.

4. In the System Preferences window, click on the “Bluetooth” icon. If Bluetooth is not already enabled, you can turn it on by clicking the “Turn Bluetooth On” button.

5. Wait for your Logitech mouse to appear in the list of available devices. It may take a moment for your MacBook to detect the mouse.

6. Once your mouse appears in the list, click on it to select it. Your MacBook will then attempt to pair with the mouse.

7. If prompted, enter any required passcode or PIN to complete the pairing process. Some Logitech mice may not require a passcode, while others may have a default passcode that you can find in the mouse’s manual or on the Logitech website.

8. After entering the passcode, your Logitech mouse should be successfully connected to your MacBook. You can now use it to navigate and control your Mac.

It’s worth noting that not all Logitech mice are compatible with MacBooks. Before purchasing a Logitech mouse, check the product specifications or compatibility information to ensure it will work with your MacBook.

In my personal experience, connecting a Logitech wireless mouse to a MacBook is usually a straightforward process. However, if you encounter any issues, make sure your mouse is turned on and in range of your MacBook. Additionally, check that Bluetooth is enabled on your MacBook and that there are no other devices interfering with the connection. If problems persist, consult the user manual or contact Logitech’s support for further assistance.
