Logitech is a leading manufacturer of computer peripherals, and its mice are some of the most popular on the market. These mice offer a wide range of features and functionality, but to get the most out of them, you need to use Logitech Mouse Software.
What is Logitech Mouse Software?
Logitech Mouse Software is a software application that allows you to customize your Logitech mouse. The software is available for Windows and macOS.
Logitech Mouse Software offers a wide range of features, including:
Button assignments: You can customize the actions that each button on your mouse performs.
Sensitivity: You can adjust the sensitivity of your mouse to make it more or less responsive.
Scroll speed: You can adjust the speed at which your mouse wheel scrolls.

How to use Logitech Mouse Software
To use Logitech Mouse Software, you first need to download and install the software from the Logitech website. Once the software is installed, you can launch it by opening the Logitech Options or Logitech Gaming Software application.
To customize your mouse, select the mouse from the list of connected devices. Then, you can use the various tabs and controls to adjust the settings that you want to change.
Button assignments
One of the most important features of Logitech Mouse Software is the ability to customize button assignments. This allows you to assign any action to any mouse button. For example, you could assign the left mouse button to open a new tab in your web browser, or the middle mouse button to launch a specific application.
To customize a button assignment, right-click the button that you want to customize. Then, select “Customize button assignment.”
From the list of available actions, select the action that you want the button to perform.
Sensitivity
The sensitivity of your mouse determines how far the cursor moves across the screen when you move the mouse. You can adjust the sensitivity to make your mouse more or less responsive. For example, you might want to increase the sensitivity for gaming to improve your accuracy, or decrease the sensitivity for productivity to make it easier to navigate large documents.
To adjust the sensitivity, click on the “Sensitivity” tab. Then, drag the “Sensitivity” slider to the desired position.
Scroll speed
The scroll speed of your mouse determines how quickly a page scrolls when you scroll the mouse wheel. You can adjust the scroll speed to make it easier or faster to scroll through documents or web pages.
To adjust the scroll speed, click on the “Scroll” tab. Then, drag the “Scroll speed” slider to the desired position.
DPI
DPI (dots per inch) is a measurement of the accuracy of your mouse. A higher DPI means that your mouse can track smaller movements more accurately. You can adjust the DPI to meet your specific needs. For example, you might want to increase the DPI for gaming to improve your accuracy, or decrease the DPI for productivity to make it easier to use your mouse on a small surface.
To adjust the DPI, click on the “DPI” tab. Then, select the desired DPI setting from the list.
Onboard memory
Logitech Mouse Software allows you to store your custom settings on your mouse. This means that your settings will be available whenever you use your mouse, regardless of the computer that you are using.
To enable onboard memory, click on the “Onboard memory” tab. Then, select the “Enable onboard memory” checkbox.
GameSense
GameSense is a feature of Logitech Mouse Software that allows you to synchronize your mouse’s lighting and button assignments with different games. This can help you to create a more immersive and personalized gaming experience.

Advanced features
In addition to the basic features listed above, Logitech drivers also offers a number of advanced features that can be used to further customize your mouse. These features include:
Flow: Flow is a feature that allows you to seamlessly move your cursor and files between multiple computers that are connected to the same network.
Lift-off distance: Lift-off distance is the distance that your mouse has to move before it stops tracking.
