I am using a Logi Master 35 mouse via a USB plug into dongle, is there a way I can connect it without the dongle? My new Windows 11 GMK tec NUCBOX M& ULTRA computer says it has built in Bluetooth. If I can release one of the USB ports that would be helpful as there are only 4. I can't see where/how to do it whilst using the mouse plugged in with the dongle and if I remove the dongle I lose the mouse. Thanks

    Hello

    The Logitech MX Master 3S (and 3) does not support a direct wired connection. If it comes with a USB cable, it is for charging purpose only.

    Hi Belinda Watson,
    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum. I'm happy to help.

    Just to make sure we are looking at the same device, I believe the correct model might be the Logitech MX Master 3S. It is sometimes confused with similar names, so I just wanted to clarify it for you. Let me know if that matches the mouse you have.

    To connect the Logitech MX Master 3S without its dongle and using your computer built-in Bluetooth, please follow official instructions from here: Getting Started - MX Master 3S Bluetooth® Edition.
