You searched for Logitech Unifying Software because a Logitech mouse or keyboard needs to work with a Unifying USB receiver. Logitech’s current Unifying Software page says the old standalone app is no longer supported or maintained, and the current consumer route is Logi Options+. Use the steps below to pair a device, add a replacement receiver, clean up old entries, or switch a dual-connectivity device to Bluetooth.
1. Start with Logi Options+ instead of the old app
Install the supported Logitech app before you try to pair the receiver.
- 1.Go to Logitech’s Logi Options+ software page.
- 2.Choose DOWNLOAD FOR WINDOWS 10 OR LATER on a Windows PC, or DOWNLOAD FOR macOS 14 OR LATER on a Mac.
- 3.Install the app, then open Logi Options+.
Use Logitech’s offline installer for a computer without internet access or an air-gapped network, or for a security-sensitive deployment where the app should not send or receive server data such as analytics or firmware status. Logitech says the offline installer does not include Logi Account access, Flow, Logi Voice in China, Backup and restore settings, or Smart Actions.
2. Pair your mouse or keyboard to the receiver
- 1.Plug the Unifying USB receiver into a USB port on your computer.
- 2.Open Logi Options+.
- 3.Select Add device or Add Devices.
- 4.Choose Unifying Receiver.
- 5.Follow the on-screen prompts to connect the mouse or keyboard.
This is the main Unifying setup path inside the current app. A Unifying receiver supports up to six compatible Unifying devices.
3. Wake the device with Connect or Easy-Switch
The app still needs the hardware to enter pairing mode. On Logitech products with a pairing button, hold Connect until the LED blinks rapidly, then continue the prompts in Logi Options+.
On a dual-connection device with Easy-Switch, press and hold Easy-Switch for 3 seconds to put that channel into pairing mode. Logitech notes this deletes whatever was on that channel and adds a new one, so switch to an unused Easy-Switch channel first if one is available. Plug the Unifying receiver into the computer, return to the Unifying Receiver flow in Logi Options+, and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Add a replacement receiver without starting over
A different Unifying receiver works with a Unifying-ready Logitech product when both the device and receiver show the Unifying logo.
- 1.Check the Logitech product for the Unifying logo.
- 2.Check the USB receiver for the Unifying logo.
- 3.Connect the replacement or different Unifying receiver to the computer.
- 4.Open Logi Options+.
- 5.Select Add device or Add Devices.
- 6.Choose Unifying Receiver.
- 7.Follow the prompts to pair the device to that receiver.
5. Put more devices on the same receiver
- 1.Leave the Unifying receiver plugged into the computer.
- 2.Open Logi Options+.
- 3.Select Add device or Add Devices.
- 4.Choose Unifying Receiver.
- 5.Follow the prompts for the next device.
- 6.Repeat until the receiver has the devices you need, up to six total.
Use the same flow for each extra compatible Unifying mouse or keyboard.
6. Move a dual-connectivity device to Bluetooth
Bluetooth is the current system-level alternative when you want a dual-connectivity Logitech device to stop using the Unifying receiver. Press and hold Easy-Switch for 3 seconds, open Bluetooth settings on your computer, then follow the on-screen pairing instructions.
Logitech says the LED stops blinking and glows steadily for 5 seconds after pairing.
7. Clear inactive entries from Logi Options+
After a Logitech device was paired by Bluetooth and later connected with a receiver, Logi Options+ can show an inactive tile. Remove that stale entry from the app first.
- In Logi Options+, click the inactive device’s Delete icon, then click Yes, Remove.
- On macOS, open System Settings, choose Bluetooth, select the device, press the i button, then choose Disconnect.
- On Windows 11, open Settings, choose Bluetooth & devices, choose Devices, select More options next to the device, then choose Remove device and Yes. On Windows 10, open Settings, choose Devices, choose Bluetooth & other devices, select the device, then choose Remove device and Yes.
8. Remove Options+ after pairing
On Mac, close Options+ UI, open /Applications, right click Options+, then choose Move to trash. On Windows, open Control Panel, choose Programs, select Uninstall a program, double click Options+, then follow the prompts and accept the UAC prompt.
On a work or school computer, IT can manage Logi Options+ installation, updates, and features through Logitech’s business deployment tools.
