Mx Anywhere 2 Software Mac
Jul 28, 2015 RIght: Logitech MX Anywhere 2. This mouse works out of the box as expected with a Mac, but to fully exploit all its features and configure the buttons, one must download the installer. High Sierra 10.13.2. Logitech MX Master 2S. Tried: Both Bluetooth and dongle (Dongle is 20-30 cm away from the mouse) Different surfaces - still a problem. Rebooted the Mac several times. Used another USB on the iMac. Removed the mouse from the iMac and added again. Reinstalled Logitech software.
Hi, I am having some issues with new MacBook Pro 13 with TouchBar.
1. I have Logitech MX Anywhere 2 mouse that I have connected with macbook by bluetooth, but there are all the time lags and jumps with cursor, definitely problem with bluetooth, because with unifying receiver it works fine. Same thing but a lot lot worse happens when using Bootcamp, where I have another issue.
2. After installing Windows 10 with bootcamp assistant, I realized that there are huge issues also with wireless internet, it regularly drops the internet in full or just becomes very slow, every 5-10 minutes. Then I have to turn off wifi an turn on again. I installed newest drivers with apple software updater. Tried every method that people are talking about in other discussions but nothing helped.
I have read in other discussions that people have similar problems, but none of the answers helped me.
What I am asking is, can it be hardware issue? Some kind of interruption between wireless and bluetooth, as they are on the same chip (I read it somewhere, not sure).
I can live with having to use dongle for MX Anywhere receiver, but it bothers me that wireless on bootcamp is not working well plus that bluetooth issue which is a lot worse in bootcamp.
Any suggestions what to try to fix it?
Thanks!
MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, iOS 10.3.1
