What`s New

Introducing Logi AI Prompt Builder, the latest innovation in Options+ that allows you to build prompts faster, easier enhancing your efficiency and creativity.

Key Features

Advanced Customization
Users can configure nearly every button on supported devices. This includes creating custom shortcuts for specific applications and setting different functions for each button. For example, a button on your Logitech mouse can open Photoshop while the same button can have a different function when you’re using Excel.

Flow Technology
It includes Logitech’s signature Flow technology, which allows users to move their cursor across multiple devices seamlessly. If you use multiple computers, Flow makes it easy to copy and paste content from one machine to another, even if they run different operating systems.

Gestures and Shortcuts
Logitech enhances productivity by supporting customizable gestures on supported devices, such as the Logitech MX Master series. Gestures can be mapped to specific tasks like opening the desktop or switching between open applications, all with the flick of a finger.



Smart Actions
The Smart Actions feature allows users to automate multiple tasks with a single button press. For example, a single click could open a web browser, start a playlist, and launch an application, all automatically.

Application-Specific Profiles
Users can create different profiles that are automatically triggered based on the active application. This allows for specific customizations to be applied instantly when switching between software.

Battery Monitoring
For wireless devices, this software displays battery life status, ensuring users stay informed and can recharge their devices in a timely manner.

Cloud Backup
Settings and custom profiles can be backed up and synced across devices via the cloud, making it easy to transfer configurations to a new computer or restore after a system reset.

User Interface

It features a sleek, modern interface that is more streamlined compared to its predecessor, Logitech Options. The layout is clean and intuitive, with a dashboard that provides an overview of connected devices.



Each device has a dedicated configuration window where users can adjust settings like pointer speed, scrolling preferences, and button functions.

The navigation is smooth and user-friendly, designed with both casual users and advanced tinkerers in mind. Options are categorized clearly, ensuring that users can access functions with minimal effort.

Each configuration panel comes with tooltips and guides, making it easy for new users to understand how to make the most out of their Logitech peripherals.
