Just in case you might wonder..
if you want to use a Logitech mice with linux, and still get the full "logitech experience" to some extend.
You actually can use Solaar to manage your logitech devices.
Including pairing and unpairing unify mouses, keyboards and stuff...
(Loving my MX Master 3 (mac) in linux here.... ;))

Sometimes.......
I own - and very much like - my latest human interface buy, a logitech MX Master 3 (mouse) .... wasn't cheap, but will surely serve me well for some years to come..
Ppl who own this mouse will surely say that too...
But has it ever happened to you, that it vibrated and flashed you with a red light because it's battery was going low?
To me neither .. but i fricking dreamed it doing that...
At least, the flashing red led was somehow rooted in reality. ;)
(It has a little green/red lighting/flashing led indicating it's turned on or it's battery is going low ... additionally, even on frickin #linux i have a tool named #solaar to look at the battery level and configure it from the desktop. ;))
Mkay shit .... i totally didn't know, that you actually can use and configure Logitech proprietary Unifying Receiver USB Dongles _and_ mice, keyboards and so on......
I never really bothered until i finally got frustrated over a failling mouse calble.. We all know, selecting and buying really good HID (Human Interface Device(s)) is a very sensitive topic..
You buy sh!t once .....and you will be unnerved by it for years ... or need to buy a replacement.
So i got down the route and finally decided to get myself something good, which should not only last but even work and be satisfying to use in the long term: A Logitech MX Master 3.
Long story short; i got a used mac version, needed to buy my own usb dongle .... and so was in need to pair a mice with a dongle.
I learned, that you can actually do that from your linux desktop without any problem, all you need is Solaar and off you go.
After i finally even updated to the latest version directly from github, i even got all the fancy options to configure additional stuff on my MX Master 3, YAY!
