Footnote:
(1) Logitech proprietary algorithm makes frequency hopping more efficient compared to direct Bluetooth Low Energy connection. Wi-Fi access point impact on wireless link in the 2.4 GHz band: depending on the settings of the Wi-Fi network, interference may affect all wireless devices working in the same frequency band.
(2) For example: key customization, smooth scrolling, and other advanced features.
(3) While all Logi Bolt products are compatible with Options+ software, functionalities may vary by product.
(4) Excludes plastic in printed wiring assembly and packaging.
(5) The basic functions of Logitech devices like keyboards and mice that are attached to a laptop, notebook, etc., are supported without additional software for systems other than Windows and macOS.
