? FAQ
Is the M305 compatible with Unifying receivers?
Most M305 models use a standard Nano receiver. However, some later versions of the M305 are compatible with the **Logitech Unifying receiver** (look for the orange sun logo). If yours has the logo, you can pair it with any Unifying receiver using the official software.
What should I do if the mouse is not responding?
First, check the battery and ensure the On/Off switch is in the “On” position. Try moving the Nano receiver to a different USB port directly on your computer. If the problem persists, you may need to re-pair the mouse using the **Logitech Connection Utility** software.
Can I use the M305 on a Mac?
Yes! The Logitech M305 is fully compatible with macOS. It is a class-compliant HID device, meaning it will work as soon as you plug in the receiver. For advanced customization, you can use the macOS version of Logitech support software.
