In case your mouse stops connecting the the USB receiver (that works way better than bluetooth, at least on my M1 Mac), here is how I fixed it:

  • download Unifying software from this link. Note: it’s not LogiOptions+, that app is not enough
  • Install `Unifying Installer.app` and alos allow input monitoring permission. then click quick and reopen
  • launch Logitech unifying software using spotlight
  • Switch off the mouse, switch easy switch to 1 and turn it on;
  • The app told me to pair, but I didn’t need to do that, maybe because it was alredy paired in the past but it misteriously stopped working;
  • It shoud now work. Delete the bluetooth setup in case you don’t use it to make sure you use it with the receiver
