When enabled, it might prevent Bluetooth® devices from connecting with your computer if you have not yet logged in. I finally found on Logitech’s web site that the culprit is FileVault as explained in the text below:įileVault is an encryption system available on some Mac computers.
SERVER 2012 LOGITECH UNIFYING SOFTWARE BLUETOOTH
I searched a while to understand why Apple’s devices (mouse or keyboard) would work with Bluetooth before logging-in, but not Logitech’s devices. The same does not happen with the Apple Magic Mouse that works at any point in the boot process. When logged in macOS, the mouse worked just fine using Bluetooth. The problem I had was that the mouse was unresponsive in the boot process up to the user selection screen.

On my Mac mini I initially used Bluetooth to pair the mouse to the computer. For the Windows Computer, this setup worked flawlessly.
SERVER 2012 LOGITECH UNIFYING SOFTWARE PC
I was already using the Windows PC with an Unifying receiver for the K360 keyboard and M705 mouse, so I paired the MX Master 3 with it. The magic lies in that push button under the mouse that lets you select which of the three computers (or Unifying dongle) the mouse will work with. The MX Master 3 mouse can connect to multiple USB receivers or Bluetooth enabled computers.

The Unifying dongle can also connect multiple Logitech’s compatible devices to a single USB A port, saving ports on your computer. Logitech’s Unifying receiver is another way to connect the mouse to a computer that, for instance, does not have Bluetooth or has an incompatible Bluetooth version for the mouse. If you want to move the peripheral to another computer, you have to disable the current pairing and re-pair it with the new computer. The disadvantage of a Bluetooth only peripheral is that it can only pair to a single computer at a time. The MX Master 3 can be connected to a computer using the bundled USB Unifying receiver, or Bluetooth. That is where the MX Master 3 attracted my attention. I thought it would be cool to use the same mouse that can connect wirelessly to the two computers. My personal computer is a Mac mini 2018 with an Apple Magic Keyboard, Apple Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse, while my Windows computer is paired with a Logitech M705 mouse and a K360 keyboard. I tended to have two desks side by side with each computer having its own mouse and keyboard. I’ve been using a Mac for my personal usage and a Windows PC for my work for many years.
