If your Logitech mouse relies on an RF receiver instead, follow <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#moka_anchor_Dongle\">our instructions for connecting with a dongle<\/a>. In either case, make sure your mouse has a charged battery and is turned on.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Cant_I_Connect_My_Wireless_Mouse\"><\/span>Why Can\u2019t I Connect My Wireless Mouse?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your mouse isn\u2019t connecting to your computer, first ensure it\u2019s powered on and has a charged battery.

You can also try switching the dongle to a different USB port, since sometimes USB ports go bad.<\/p>\n<p>If yours is a Bluetooth mouse, follow our guides to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/508895\/how-to-troubleshoot-bluetooth-issues-on-windows\/\">troubleshooting Bluetooth on Windows or fixing Bluetooth issues on Mac.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>And that\u2019s how you connect two different kinds of wireless mice to your desktop computer.
