Given Below Are The Steps To Connect the Logitech Mouse M305 To the Mac

Step # 1: Resolve The Battery Issue

Wireless mice are either powered with AA or AAA batteries or they may charge with a USB connection. Batteries are to be replaced by new ones when they run out. On the other hand, with a USB connection, the built-in battery is charged. Figure out that your mouse belongs to which category and act accordingly. Replace the previous AA or AAA batteries with a fresh set if it belongs to the first category. In the case of the second one, first of all, spot the USB port that you may find on either the front or back of the mouse depending on its design. It functions as a USB connector and a micro USB or USB-C connection can be inserted. It depends on the type of connector it is provided with. Now, referring to the end of the USB not inserted in the mouse, connect it to the available USB port of your Mac device. The mouse may take a few hours to fill its empty battery. If you are using an iMac device, you can spot a USB port at the back of the monitor. On MacBook, near the edges of the laptop, you’ll find a USB port.
