FAQS

How do I know what type of Logitech wireless technology I have?

If you have a USB receiver, start by identifying which type of USB receiver you have.

Next, if unsure what type of wireless mice and keyboards you have, look for a matching logo mark on the bottom (the side that rests on the desk surface) of your Logitech wireless products.

If your Logitech wireless device did not come with a USB receiver, your wireless keyboard or mouse may have Bluetooth wireless connectivity or is Logi Bolt enabled.  Look for a Logi Bolt logo on the bottom (the side that rests on the desk surface) of your Logitech wireless products. If you see a Logi Bolt logo that means your device is compatible with a Logi Bolt USB receiver even if one did not come in the box. If you’d like a high-performance, secure connection with Logi Bolt, you can purchase Logi Bolt USB receivers on Logitech.com or at leading retailers that carry Logitech products.

On which version of the Bluetooth core specifications is Logi Bolt connectivity based?

Our Logi Bolt wireless devices are Bluetooth Low Energy 5.0 or higher. We actively use all the security mechanisms introduced in Bluetooth Low Energy Core Specification 4.2.

From a backward compatibility standpoint, Logi Bolt wireless devices are able to communicate with Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0 hosts or higher when in direct Bluetooth connection.

What type of USB port does Logi Bolt require?

Logi Bolt receivers are available in two connectivity types: Type A and Type C. We also offer USB adapters for greater flexibility.

What Security Manager Protocols does Logi Bolt use for pairing, bonding, encryption and signing?

Also called Secure Connections Only mode, this is the security level enforced when Logi Bolt wireless mice and keyboards are paired to a Logi Bolt USB receiver. 		Security Mode 1 - Security
Level 2
With a mouse in direct connection, we have ‘just works’ pairing.

Corporate policy does not allow use of Bluetooth connections. Can we deploy Logi Bolt wireless products?

Yes, Logi Bolt wireless mice and keyboards are in fact ideal for environments that do not permit Bluetooth connections. Though Logi Bolt is based on Bluetooth, it is an end-to-end closed system where a Logi Bolt receiver is emitting an encrypted signal that only connects with Logi Bolt products. So the Logi Bolt USB receiver can’t be paired with any non-Logi Bolt device. And because Logi Bolt works with most enterprise operating systems and is securely paired right out of the box, it makes procurement and set up that much easier.

What is the effective range of Logi Bolt?

Logi Bolt wireless devices are Bluetooth Class 2, with up to 10 meters wireless range.

Are Logi Bolt wireless products cross-compatible with other Logitech wireless products?

Though Logi Bolt products cannot be paired with other Logitech USB receivers, and vice versa, in many cases Logi Bolt products can be used simultaneously with other Logitech wireless products on the same host computer. Just keep this in mind: when possible, the best option is to plug your Logi Bolt USB receiver into a port, then power on your Logi Bolt wireless product. This ensures you get the strong signal and security that Logi Bolt offers when paired with its Logi Bolt USB receiver.
