Actually, for most people you don't need to install the software at all. On my Vista laptop I just use the OS Bluetooth options to find and sync with the mouse and I'm good to go. If you want to do non-standard button/wheel mappings you may need to install the Logitech software, but as a general rule I try to avoid software bloat whenever possible and the Logitech software is something you don't really need.

yes, i think they use a single standard program for all their mice and keyboards

We tried Bluetooth, it works basically. When we connected a Bluetooth Laser Mouse the following problem occurs : After 1 to 3 Minutes of using the mouse in e.g. Firefox, Mouse will be disconnected. You will then have to reconnect the mouse using the Configure Tool, resp. at least you will have to switch from Desktop to Tiles view. We were not able to fix the problem and - actually there are no fixes available. Therefore we deactivated Bluetooth and bought a wireless USB Mouse which works properly.

This mouse is a wireless mouse but has to be connected via USB. It is not a Bluetooth Mouse. You would need to find a Bluetooth Mouse like the HP x4000b Bluetooth mouse found on amazon here for $29.99: HP x4000b Bluetooth Mouse - Matte Black

I have Windows 7 (64-bit) and I just bought this mouse. The driver that came with it on the CD wouldn't install due to "compatability issues" so I went to the Microsoft website and downloaded the new Windows 7 driver (32-bit and 64-bit available). Just make sure you choose the right mouse model when you install the driver. Works perfectly and I can now enjoy the full functionality of this mouse (horizontal scrolling, programmable buttons, etc.) The mouse works fine without a driver, but you need to install it for these extra features.

Hello, This mouse will connect via Bluetooth without the need of the Unifying software. I just did it before answering you, and it has been immediately detected by my computer. Works perfectly.

The mouse has worked fine for me, I've had it for over 6 months now, no problems. But here's a link to download drivers for the mouse, might help. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/corded-mouse-m500?osid=23&bit;=64

I returned mine, because it didn't work. You have to verify which receiver for which mouse. Not all waves are the same, I made the mistake of purchasing before researching. There is a p/n id on the bottom of your mouse, that's the number you want to verify will work with your replacement. You could just contact Logitech support, they will tell you the replacement usb receiver if you tell them what wave model you have. Hope I helped!

This mouse uses 2 x AAA batteries and runs as a Bluetooth mouse. I am using OS 10.8.5 and it loaded up just fine once I turned Bluetooth on and searched for the mouse. Did not require a CD to install.

Mine also came with a CD and instructions, but I downloaded the drivers online instead of using the CD and got it started without the instructions. Your computer should detect the device when you plug it in and either begin searching automatically for the drivers or allow you to launch a search. If you are plugging it into the USB and the computer isn't detecting it -- or if you go to computer / devices and don't see it there -- then perhaps try another USB port or there may be a problem with the device. That may not be much help, but good luck!

If you have an android phone then download the app called torque it works really good with the Bluetooth. As for the CD you only need that if your using it via the computer, I have the cd but have never used it. I could try to send you the files off of mine if you want. email me if you want me to try that, vespoli2x@aol.com. Hope I can help

There is no known software for this mouse. No CD came in the box. If you research it a lot you may find one in Chinese, since this originated from China somewhere (As per reviews I looked up before purchasing) works perfectly fine on Windows 7 64 bit.

Mine came with a CD. Although my Toshiba Windows 7 Netbook recognized and accepted the adapter, I haven't been able to use it as of yet...even with the long prior installed Dragon software. I have to find my external CD /DVD driver to set everything up the way the quick set up requires. Hopefully once I use the CD driver everything will work accordingly.

you download the software from Logitech's website, also included in the box is a small closed usb that pairs with the mouse. I put he usb in a port I don't normally use so it's out of the way and I can use the other usb ports like I would normally.

Find the newer drivers . The disc includes sucks . In the questions section here I was linked a direct link to the Chinese updated drivers . That being said these have no warranty and a lot of problems . I'd suggest returning them and buyiing Logitech g430 like I did for 39.99 if they are still on sale . So far they are amazingly better .

This will not pair with either of the Asus 13-inch chromebooks (purchased in late 2014 from Amazon) I own. The mouse pairs fine with my Windows 7 PC, but gives an "authentication cancelled" soon after I try to pair it with either Chromebook. The manual for this mouse also makes no mention of it working with Chrome. Chrome is supposed to work with any Bluetooth, but if that's true why doesn't Tecknet add it to its list of supported operating systems in the owner's manual and why didn't it work on my newer Chromebooks???

Yes. Any USB wired or wireless mouse will work. Since the laptop also has bluetooth you may also use bluetooth wireless mouse, this way there is nothing to plug in at all. But, bluetooth mouse selections are not as wide as standard USB. Here are two example for you logitech model 910-001266 and model 910-001822.
