I made a quick search online and everything seemed to point to the same piece of software, the Logitech Control Center. I inserted some batteries, plugged the dongle and switched the mouse on: nothing. I found it among old RJ45 cables and dusty keyboards: a Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX, using the Unifying technology - basically a tiny dongle to plug to one of the machine's USB ports, and supporting devices of the same product range. I decided I would get one for my personal use as well, and first peeked at Apple's horrendously (and unsurprisingly) expensive Magic Mouse, before I remembered that once upon a time I had a wireless mouse, when I was still a Windows user.

Having worked with a Magic Trackpad (version 1) for a while, then with a mouse again for one of my contracts, I realised I actually felt more comfortable using the latter. This post is mainly for my own future reference, but if you are running into the same kind of troubles, hopefully following the quick steps below will help. In my case it was the latter, and it took me a ridiculous amount of time to find a solution, mostly because of borked software. The cordless Logitech Unifying devices can be a bit funny when it comes to MacOS Sierra, be it the scrolling acting weird or the device not being detected altogether.

I’m sure this is related to Logitech software again rather than Universal Control, but then again that is also in Beta at this point so hopefully we’ll see this ironed out by either or both companies over the next couple of iterations of software.You can also subscribe to the RSS or Atom feed, or follow me on Twitter. On a side note, for any of you running the new (at time of writing) MacOS 12.3 software with Universal Control, you may find that whilst your MX Master and keyboard do happily work across multiple Macs (I have two side-by-side here), the scroll wheel and extra buttons do not seem to currently work on the second machine.

I love the Logitech MX Master 3 mouse and use it every day, but I’m stunned that they’ve not managed to get their software working smoothly to enable full functionality reliably. I’m amazed that Logitech continue to release such terrible software for their devices when the hardware they make is so good. I hope this helps others out there looking for a quick solution to this.

In my experience it took a few seconds before the Options app noticed that Options+ was gone, and then I was able to access the mouse settings again. This will require your password, but once you’ve deleted it and emptied your trash, opening the original Logitech Options app will again allow you to manage your mouse, and most importantly, all your functionality will return. Simply close all instances of Logi Options and then delete the newly installed Options+ Beta software from your Applications folder. I immediately knew I’d made a horrible mistake when the scroll wheel stopped working on my MX Master 3 mouse and the mouse also wasn’t showing up in the new Options+ app despite being listed as supported.Īfter several attempts to get it to work I tried their customer support which, to my disappointment, was incredible tedious and slow.Īnyway, whilst speaking to them I found a solution which I’d like to share with you now because it’s very simple and they will lead you down the garden path for hours if you let them in an attempt to make you keep the terrible software.

I recently installed the Beta of Logitech Options+ which was advertised to me as an update when I opened the Logitech Options app on my Mac.
