 Logitech Mouse Not Working Mac

If you updated to OS X El Capitan and are having issues with your Logitech mouse not working correctly, here’s how to fix Logitech mouse problems in OS X El Capitan and any other Mac OS version. Many Logitech mouse owners complain about a particular problem they have with their pointers. The scroll wheel no longer works in OS X El Capitan. This issue appears only to affect newer Logitech Mice, like the MX Master and the MX Anywhere 2 that use the new Logitech Options software. Luckily, the problem doesn’t seem to affect older Logitech mice like the M705 mouse.

Disconnect and Reconnect

As with the Windows 7 fix, you can disconnect and reconnect your USB receiver as well as remove the battery from your Logitech Wireless mouse. However, newer mice utilise both USB wireless and Bluetooth, so if you’re using the Bluetooth functionality on your mouse and you experience the scroll wheel problem, try to disconnect the mouse from Bluetooth. Even go as far as having your Mac forget the Bluetooth device and repair it completely if turning off and on the mouse doesn’t work.

Update Logitech Options

Logitech Options lets users customise newer Logitech mice. It is standard practice to re-download it from Logitech’s website and re-install it on our Mac to make sure that you have the latest version. The software also allows you to update the drivers for your Logitech wireless mouse.
