Anecdata, but I’ve had a terrible experience with Logitech mice on all sorts of Macs over the years - both Intel and Apple Silicon. Bluetooth is almost always a non-starter. The Unifying dongle works, but you’ll need to keep it physically close to the mouse. Unfortunately, Logitech also makes my favourite mouse - the light-weight G Pro X wireless.
Their software is atrocious, too. Steermouse to the rescue, thankfully.
- Macha 4y agoAnecdata here also, but I've got a logitech mice and formerly had a logitech headset that had no issues connecting to a mac with bluetooth.
- ungamedplayer 4y agoAnecdata here: I had to write a tool to reload the mac bluetooth kernel module once a month because it was so bad.
- Marsymars 4y agoI don’t use bluetooth but find that macOS gets squirrelly around that time frame anyway, I usually reboot about monthly.
- sdflhasjd 4y agoMore anecdata, but I think this is a more general Apple problem rather than Logitech, I always had very poor performance with non-Apple BT devices with Macs - devices that work fine with a range of other computers.
- darkteflon 4y agoYeah, I’d bet that’s equally possible. I wire most of my peripherals because Bluetooth just seems perennially flaky. Mouse and AirPods are the exception.
- filoleg 4y agoI think the experiences with this might vary wildly. Not mentioning Apple bt devices, I tried using sony wh-1000xm1 (or whatever the first gen of them was called, because they only solidified a consistent naming scheme for that line around gen 2 or 3 iirc) bt headphones, hhkb2 pro bt keyboard, ps4/ps5/nintendo switch gamepads (all in bt mode), and a TE OB-4 bt speaker. No issues whatsoever with any of them. Disclaimer: sony headphones, hhkb2 keyboard, and nintendo switch gamepad were tested on non-M1/Intel macbooks. The rest were tested on both intel and M1.
- Marsymars 4y agoI’ve had a terrible experience with (wireless) mice of every brand I’ve tried on my Macs. I very much dislike wired mice, so my solution was to abandon mice and switch to wired trackballs.
