Verifying the USB Connection
To ensure a seamless connection, follow these steps to verify the USB connection between your M720 mouse and your computer:
-
Confirm USB Port Compatibility
Check if the USB port on your computer is compatible with the mouse’s USB receiver (either USB-A or USB-C).
-
Inspect the USB Receiver
Locate the USB receiver connected to your computer and examine it for any physical damage, such as bent or broken pins. If the receiver is damaged, replace it.
-
Plug and Unplug the Receiver
Disconnect and reconnect the USB receiver into different USB ports on your computer. This helps eliminate any port-related issues or ensure that the mouse is paired with the correct receiver.
-
Verify Driver Status
Check if the mouse driver is properly installed and up to date. You can do this by accessing the Device Manager in your operating system.
-
Test on Another Device
If possible, connect the M720 mouse to another computer or device to determine if the issue persists. This helps isolate the problem to either the mouse or your initial computer.
If you have completed these steps and the USB connection is still not established, consider contacting Logitech Support for further assistance.
Troubleshooting USB Connection Issues
If you are having trouble connecting your M720 mouse to your computer via USB, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue.
Check the USB cable
The first thing you should check is the USB cable itself. Make sure that it is properly plugged into both the mouse and the computer. If the cable is loose or damaged, it may not be able to establish a connection.
Try a different USB port
If the USB cable is not the issue, try plugging the mouse into a different USB port on your computer. Some USB ports may not be powered correctly, or they may be experiencing conflicts with other devices.
Reinstall the mouse driver
If you have tried both of the above steps and you are still having trouble connecting the mouse, you may need to reinstall the mouse driver. To do this, follow these steps:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Open the Device Manager on your computer. |
| 2 | Find the entry for your M720 mouse under the “Mice and other pointing devices” section. |
| 3 | Right-click on the entry and select “Uninstall”. |
| 4 | Unplug the mouse from the computer. |
| 5 | Restart the computer. |
| 6 | Plug the mouse back into the computer. |
| 7 | Windows should automatically install the correct driver for the mouse. |
Optimizing USB Performance
To ensure optimal performance of your M720 mouse with a USB connection, follow these steps:
1. Use a High-Quality USB Cable
Invest in a high-quality USB cable that meets the 2.0 or 3.0 specification. Poor-quality cables can result in data transfer issues and interfere with the mouse’s responsiveness.
2. Connect Directly to the Computer
Avoid using USB hubs or extenders if possible. Connecting the mouse directly to a USB port on your computer will provide the most stable connection.
3. Update USB Drivers
Keep your USB drivers up to date. Outdated drivers can lead to compatibility issues and reduced performance.
4. Disable Power Management for the USB Port
In Windows, disable power management for the USB port that the mouse is connected to. This will prevent the port from being turned off to save power, which can disrupt the mouse’s performance.
To disable power management:
- Open the Device Manager (search for “Device Manager” in the Windows search bar).
- Expand the “Universal Serial Bus controllers” section.
- Right-click on the USB port that the mouse is connected to and select “Properties.”
- Click on the “Power Management” tab.
- Uncheck the box next to “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.”
- Click “OK” to save changes.
| Windows Version | Option to Disable |
|---|---|
| Windows 10 | “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” |
| Windows 11 | “Allow the device to save power” |

Using Third-Party USB Hubs
While the M720 mouse typically works seamlessly when connected directly to your computer’s USB port, you may encounter compatibility issues when using third-party USB hubs. Here are some potential issues and troubleshooting steps:
Connectivity Problems
If your mouse is not recognized or appears intermittent when connected through a USB hub, try the following:
- Ensure that the hub is powered if it requires external power.
- Try connecting the mouse directly to the computer’s USB port to verify if the mouse itself is functioning correctly.
- Connect the hub to a different USB port on your computer.
- Use a different USB cable.
Speed and Performance Issues
If you notice lag or slow response times while using the mouse through a USB hub, consider the following:
- The hub may be introducing additional latency. Try connecting the mouse directly to the computer or to a different USB port on the hub.
- The hub may not be able to provide sufficient power to the mouse. Connect the hub to a powered USB port or use a USB hub with built-in power.
Other Considerations
Here are some additional tips and recommendations when using third-party USB hubs:
- Use a USB 3.0 hub for optimal speed and performance.
- Avoid connecting too many devices to a single hub, as this can overwhelm its bandwidth capabilities.
- Consider using a combination of USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 hubs for different devices, based on their speed requirements.
USB Hub Type Advantages Disadvantages Powered USB Hub Provides additional power to connected devices, improving stability and performance. Requires external power, which can be inconvenient. Unpowered USB Hub Compact and portable, does not require external power. May not be able to provide sufficient power for power-hungry devices. How to Use an M720 Mouse via USB Connection
