Frequently Asked Questions

No USB receiver is needed. The mouse connects directly to a compatible Bluetooth-enabled computer, so you do not need to dedicate a USB port to its connection.
Is the Logitech M196 a gaming mouse?
Logitech presents the M196 as an everyday Bluetooth mouse for comfortable navigation and general computing. It is not advertised as a specialized gaming mouse with advanced gaming controls.
Can I use the M196 wireless mouse on a glass desk?
Logitech describes smooth optical tracking on almost any surface, but does not specifically guarantee performance on transparent glass. A suitable mouse pad is advisable if tracking is inconsistent.
Can I change the DPI of the Logitech M196?
Logitech publishes a nominal optical tracking specification for this model but does not identify a dedicated DPI adjustment control. Buyers who require switchable sensitivity should verify that feature before purchasing.
