What is Enhanced Easy-Switch?

Enhanced Easy-Switch is a feature in Logi Options+ App that enables your Logitech mouse to automatically follow your supported paired keyboard (refer the Compatible Devices in Prerequisites) when you switch between computers. This simplifies your workflow by synchronizing your devices — when you switch your keyboard to a new computer, your mouse switches with it automatically. 

Prerequisites

To use Enhanced Easy-Switch, your setup must meet the following requirements:

Latest Logi Options+ App: Must be installed and running on all computers you intend to switch between.

Wireless Connection: Devices must be connected via Bluetooth or Logi Bolt.
Note: Devices connected via the older Unifying Receiver or Wired (USB) cable are not supported.

Pairing: Devices must be paired on all computers you intend to switch between before linking the device.

Compatible Devices: You'll need a supported device, as listed below:

• Keyboard
  • MX Keys S
  • MX Keys S for Mac
  • MX Keys Mini
  • MX Keys Mini for Mac
  • MX Keys Mini for Business
• Mouse
  • Any Logitech mouse that is supported with Bolt connectivity and Easy-Switch capability in Options+
• Touchpad
  • Casa Touch
• Dialpad
  • MX Creative Console Dialpad

Firmware: Your keyboard must have the latest firmware in order to configure and use Enhanced Easy-Switch. Logi Options+ will prompt you to update if a version upgrade is required.

Setting up Enhanced Easy-Switch

Enhanced Easy Switch needs to be set up manually.

Step 1: Manually Pair Devices (Required on all computers)
Before enabling the feature, you must ensure your keyboard and mouse are manually paired to the corresponding channels on each computer you want to use.

• Example: If you use two computers (computer A and computer B), pair both the keyboard and mouse to computer A on any one of the available channels, and pair both to computer B in another available free channel.

Step 2: Link Devices in Logi Options+ (One-time setup)
You only need to set up the link on one computer. Because the settings are stored directly on the device, your mouse and keyboard will automatically switch together across all your current computers, and any you add in the future, provided the prerequisites (like having Logi Options+ installed) are met.

1. Open Logi Options+.
2. Select your Keyboard.
3. Navigate to the Easy-Switch tab. (If the tab is not present, navigate to the Connectivity tab and then click the Easy-Switch panel.)
4. In the Easy-Switch tab, click the “Configure” link.
5. Under Link compatible devices, toggle the switch ON for the mouse or pointing device you want to couple.

Limitations

Supported Platforms
This feature is currently supported on Windows and macOS.

Keyboard-Initiated Only
Pressing the Easy-Switch button on your mouse will only switch the mouse. The keyboard will not follow. You must use the keyboard Easy-Switch keys in order to switch both devices simultaneously.

Device Sleep Mode
If your mouse is in deep sleep mode (ex., after being idle), the keyboard cannot wake it up. The keyboard will switch instantly, but the mouse will remain on the old computer until you manually switch it.

Rapid Switching
Switching channels too quickly (ex., pressing 1-2-3 in rapid succession) may cause the mouse not to switch quickly across the paired computers. Allow a few seconds for the devices to sync. In case the mouse was left behind and remained on the previous host, switch the Mouse manually to the Host in which the keyboard is active to continue to use them in sync.

Corporate/IT Blocks
If you switch to a computer where Logi Options+ is blocked by IT or is not installed, the mouse will not switch. The app is required on the receiving computer to complete the action.

No Clipboard Sharing
Unlike Logitech Flow, this feature does not support copying and pasting text or files between computers.
