It can be faster to perform actions in some scenarios. With a mouse, there is no obscurement of the display.Īdditionally, you can hover a pointer on the screen to highlight something for someone or to help follow along when reading. It's particularly tricky using touch when it's hard to accurately tell what you're tapping or if your fingers are relatively large. There are many benefits to using a mouse pointer, and the most significant one is because of difficulty using a touchscreen device with your fingers. Plus, those with wireless receivers and even wired mice are supported by using a USB to Lightning adapter. It works for all types of Bluetooth mice, so if you have one, it'll already work.

Using the 'Advanced' option.the keyboard is recognized (state goes from inactive to active when you pound on the keys), yet no characters appear either in the Unifying test box or anywhere in the computer itself.For the first time, you can officially use a computer mouse with your iPhone, thanks to Apple's new Accessibility settings in iOS 13. The usual workflow of cycling the power switch gets you nowhere. Note that the Unifying software only recognizes the keyboard using the 'Advanced' option. Then verified that both the Logitech Control Center Deamon and the Logicool Unifying Software were enabled in the 'Input Monitoring' panel of the 'Privacy' tab of the 'Security & Privacy' System Preference Pane.Īfter updating the firmware on the Unifying receiver, it's possible to pair the keyboard using the 'Advanced' option in the Unifying software. There are probably 12 or so available Logitech downloads and it's not clear which ones are needed to get a specific piece of hardware functioning. And the 'Logitech firmware update' which recognized the Unifying receiver and reported a successful firmware update. I say 'appears' because it is the only download that lists 10.15 as an available Mac OS version.

Then reinstalled what appears to be the most recent Logitech drivers for Mac: 'Logicool'. Apparently several versions were present and some dated back to 2015 or so. I completely uninstalled all Logitech software, preference panes, and the like.
