Nor my Logitech Craft keyboard which I still think is total BS! Especially considering they support the Logitech Keys which basically the same KB, just without the apps knob the Craft has.

See any feedback about it anywhere?

No, but I've not looked into it. And really, if the KB isn't supported now, I doubt it ever will be.

That said, the KB is still feature rich so I'm not sure I'm missing anything that Options+ would bring. It's just it would be nice to be able to use the latest Options+ software instead of being relegated to the old version

Probably not..., I've paired my MX Keys with my devices but don't use it that way, 'cept I had it paired with my phone cuz it was cool to be able to type messages on a real keyboard but, now I just voice text!
Mice are a different story though, I'm forever wiping items back and forth!

I have a Logitech M510 mouse for my laptop PC. For some reason Logitech update suggested I install Options+. After it installed it, it also installed Logi Bolt. The problem is neither one of these supports the Logitech M510 mouse. I uninstalled both of these and went back to just using Options.

BTW, I have the Logitech MK550 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo for my desktop PC. It includes:

Logitech K350 Keyboard
Logitech M510 Mouse
Logitech Unifying receiver

I had to install SetPoint for the K350 Keyboard and Options for the M510 Mouse.

I used that K350 (Wave) Keyboard for years, actually replacing it a couple of times as I wore it out. Loved that keyboard. Anyway, I've since replaced it with my Logitech Craft some years ago. I still have one though packed away in my garage somewhere.

But yeah, it does use the Setpoint software. As popular as that keyboard is I'm surprised it hasn't been firmware updated to support Options.

Personally I think that logitech, or Logi, are suffering due to the high quality manufacturing in an area where the latest is the item that some must use,

[Guilty as Charged M'lord :wink:

].

I have a lot of logitech hardware accumulated over a long period that over the range uses a range of control software and also Dongles [from those designed when USB was new, to the latest Bolt system]

The single Bolt device I have was a replacement for my working Trackball, that still needed an older control suite and Dongle the MX ergo Trackball is great and an improvement in subtle ways ...

... but the fact I totally missed was that it uses the new Bolt dongle and software so back to square one

I know I either have to get ruthless and dump the older, still working perfectly, hardware or control my "need" for the latest and greatest hardware I have to admit I added an MX3s Mouse when they were released and do not use the minor improvements over the standard MX3 Mouse.

Hopefully I can find a local school or charity that can use my old items, which are too good to simply dump

I did look at the Craft but went for the MX keys as I already have hardware for control Knob usage in editing software provided by a Shuttle Pro v2 and a Loupedeck+ :ROFLMAO:

I like the Silent Mouse Clicks, that's about it!

I have lots of Logi mice, but only the second gen G15 as far as Logi KBs go, which I no longer use.

I've had the MX Master 1, 2, 3, 3s and 3 Business. I routinely swap between the 3s and 3 business now, and my 3 is in my bag for travel use.

I have *numerous* others as well, like Vx Nano (I think), MX Anywhere, MX Travel (or whatever that one was called), as well as several other smaller (Logi) mice used primarily with laptops as dedicated pointing devices because trackpads sucked until only recently).

I think I can find 15-20 unused Logitech receivers from each of the mice - and when I bought the MX 3 Business, I bought a couple of spare Bolt adapters that I've still not used, still new in the package, as what I was going to use them for never panned out correctly.

I got the Craft before the Keys was released, though I probably would have gotten it anyway had both been out the same time, so...

BTW, I've been using Logitech mice since the late 90s when I had one of their trackballs. In fact, I still have one in its box from back then.

I have the I have the first wireless model (trackball) that Logi made still floating around somewhere. Loved that thing for the longest time ... but when it was getting long in teh tooth I made the switch back to regular mice. As I got older, my dexterity in my thumb started being an issue, and then arthritis started setting in there and that was the end of my tb days.

I have that one . . . actually three of them. One for my desktop and one for each of my two laptops.

I've used the Logitech Wave for years too. Don't use the special things spread around on the keyboard. Guess I just want to get things done instead of trying to figure those out.

That's why I went with the K375s a few years back. Compact footprint and no "extra" keys, but it does have a lot of "fn" stuff....

So now at least the Bolt piece recognizes and supports my M510 and K375s, but Options is still, on a daily basis, trying to talk me into replacing it with Options+ even though I have no hardware that it will support.

Have you checked lately? Logitech support says that Logitech Options+ supports both the M510 and K375s. BTW, I uninstalled Options and installed Options+ instead. Options+ works fine with my M510.

Neither Bolt or Logitech Options+ supported my M510 mouse last year but they do now. It appears Options+ is a replacement for Options.

I found that Bolt seems redundant to Options+. The only thing that Bolt does is give a battery level indication. Bolt says the battery level is 70% while Options+ says the battery level is Good.

Both Bolt and Options+ can be used to pair a mouse but only Options+ can be used to configure the mouse.

I was going by the supported products matrix on their web page, but I'll give it a go and see.

Dru2 · Mar 22, 2023

While it's always supported my MX Master 3 mouse, it still doesn't support my Craft keyboard, so instead of running two different Options apps, I just stick to "Options" and forgo installing "Options+"

Welp that worked. Logi needs to get on the ball and update their supported devices page!

Given this, I just installed the app the see if perhaps this was to case for the Craft keyboard. Nope!!!

If you check the Logitech support web page you will see that the Craft Keyboard is only supported by the Options app.
