Logitech wireless mouse won't work with iOS Catalina

Wow. Here we are November 11, 2020 and the problem still persist. Yesterday (maybe the day before) I received a quick pop-up notice, saying my Logitech wireless mouse would no longer work with my OS and to contact Logitech. I went on their web page, but haven't found a solution as of yet. I just thought I'd throw my 2 cents into the conversation, as it seems to be a significant problem.

"Here's another odd thing: Under system preferences, if I go to Bluetooth or Mouse, the search circle just keeps on spinning, and my device has never appeared."


This response was the one that caused me to take a look at why my Logitech wireless mouse is working and not for others. I'm on Catalina 10.15.7. Opened System Preferences/Mouse and clicked the "Set Up Bluetooth Mouse . . ." and like others here, the little circle just kept spinning and spinning. So that's not the answer. Trying to remember how I set things up, I did a fresh install of Catalina 10.15.7 onto a spare SSD. Opened System Preferences/Mouse, changed a couple of settings and my Logitech wireless mouse just worked, no need to do the "Bluetooth" thing at all, at least on my system. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I don't think any Bluetooth connection is required.

I agree. When I opted out of the expensive Apple mouse, I plugged in a Logitech mouse and everything worked great...until I bought my new laptop with OS Catalina. Then it went bonkers. Here's another odd thing: Under system preferences, if I go to Bluetooth or Mouse, the search circle just keeps on spinning, and my device has never appeared.
