the channel.

to the next step.

so that it can be seen by your computer. The LED will start blinking quickly.

details here.

USB receiver: Plug the receiver to a USB port and open Logitech Options. In Options, select Add

devices > Setup Unifying device, and follow the instructions.

MagSpeed adaptive scroll-wheel

The speed-adaptive scroll wheel shifts between two scrolling modes automatically. As you scroll faster, it

will automatically shift from line-by-line scrolling to free-spinning.

Line-by-line (ratchet) mode —ideal for precise navigation of items and lists.

Hyper-fast (free-spin) mode —near-frictionless spinning, letting you fly through long documents and

web pages.

Switch modes manually

You can also manually switch between modes by pressing the mode shift button.

By default, mode shift is assigned to the button on top of the mouse. Use the Logitech Options Software,

to disable SmartShift if you prefer to stay in a single scrolling mode and shift manually. You can also adjust

the SmartShift sensitivity, which will change the speed required to automatically shift into free spinning.
