To ensure your M185 is performing at its best, installing Logi Options+ is a smart move.

? FAQ
Where is the USB receiver located for the M185?
The USB Nano receiver is stored inside the mouse for safe travel. Simply slide open the battery compartment cover on the bottom of the mouse, and you will find the receiver tucked in a small slot next to the AA battery.
Is the M185 compatible with the Unifying Receiver?
No, the Logitech M185 typically comes with a standard Nano receiver that is not Unifying-compatible. However, if your M185 has the “Orange Sun” icon on the bottom, it might work with a Unifying receiver. Most standard M185 models use a 1-to-1 connection only.
What should I do if the mouse stops moving?
Try these steps: 1. Replace the AA battery with a fresh one. 2. Move the Nano receiver to a different USB port. 3. Ensure the power switch on the bottom of the mouse is in the ON position. 4. Use a mousepad if you are working on a glass or reflective surface.
