I believe Logitech Options has replaced Logitech Control Center.

Yes, but only for certain devices.

Per Logitech:

"Logitech Control Center (LCC) will be fully compatible with macOS 11 (Big Sur), but only for a limited period. MacOS 11 (Big Sur) support for Logitech Control Center (LCC) will end early 2021."

"After the limited compatibility period ends the following Logitech Control Center (LCC) devices are not supported in Logitech Options."

Why did you truncate my post?

You omitted:

The link lists Logitech legacy devices that aren't supported by Big Sur.

Did you even read the link? It lists the Legacy Devices that are no longer supported.

Comments Off on Update on Logitech Control Center (LCC) Software with macOS 11 (Big Sur) – What Does this Mean for You?

Logitech previously announced

that Logitech Control Center (LCC) would not be compatible with macOS 11

(Big Sur). We are now excited to share that LCC will be fully

compatible with macOS 11 (Big Sur), but only for a limited period and

support for LCC on macOS 11 will end early 2021.

After the limited compatibility

period ends, the below LCC devices will not be supported in Logitech

Options and you can check for your devices here.

If you have one of these listed products you should still be able to

use basic functions such as left-click, right-click, middle button, and

scroll wheel, but customization in LCC or Logitech Options is not

possible. All other LCC devices will work with Logitech Options, which

can be downloaded here.

With the new Apple release of their

Apple Silicon-based computers, LCC will not be compatible with these new

systems. Your LCC-supported device should have basic functionality but

customization in LCC won’t be possible. All of our Logitech

Options-supported devices will be fully compatible.

If you experience any issues during

the limited compatibility period please ensure you have LCC version

3.9.11 or later installed, which can be downloaded at this link.

For additional information about keyboard, presentation and mice software support on macOS 11 (Big Sur) please check our support site and note below which devices won’t be supported.

As I assume it is software / drivers releated and will hopefully be fixed. Also heard somewhere that macs have different profile before you login to your user account that stores some user related drivers. Some reported if they turned on firewalt then they cannot login using bluetooth keyboard and mouse and must use some wired ones but after login they cann normally use bluetooth keyboard and mose.

HI, I have opposite problem, when i am using a Targus USBC hub, everything (Display, keyboard and mouse) is working fine. but my primary source was a HP Powered Thunderbolt Dock with all sort of inputs. when i am using it, only keyboard mouse and charging works, but neither the display nor the sound gets passed to screen and speaker. and I have two of those for my home and office setup, dont know how to bring them use. any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks In Advance

Hello,

I've just realised that I can't do initial set up for mac mini m1 using my magic keyboard and mouse. So I'm getting a cheap wired usb different brand keyboard and mouse but do I need an adaptor or will they work if I just plug them straight into mac mini?

Go gentle pls as I have no idea what I'm doing and going stir crazy trying to get a simple answer to my question. I'm in UK.

I have a UK A1242 wired standard keyboard connected via a non powered USB switch (the kind that allows you to use the same keyboard on more than one computer). It isn't recognised by the keyboard setup but it works fine anyway.

An Apple magic keyboard should work when you plug the keyboard into the Mac mini m1 using the charging cable. It does for me like when the keyboard battery is depleted, I just connect with the charging cable. You can use a cheap USB mouse directly no adapters. The Magic Mouse has that awkward cable socket on the bottom so it's a hassle to corded compared to the magic keyboard.

An unpowered hub did not work.

Non-Powered USBs are junk. You're not doing yourself any favors by using one.

Forgot to mention, I know the ports are working because my external USB drives work.

I have the same problem Mac mini M1 arrived today. What you suggest here is a workaround, for something this basic, it's a disappointment.

I wholeheartedly agree, but I'm just another user like you and this was the only way I could get it to work.

Yes, offcourse i go around with an active USB hub (cause cheap hubs will not work) and even then keyboard is not working. But why after the update, it is a DOWNDATE!!!!

Tried the Apple A1243 extended USB keyboard with the Apple USB-C to USB adapter (MJ1M2AM/A) it didn't still didn't work

Didn't work for me with MacOS 11.0.1 or 11.1

No, i tried to stick it up my **** not taht is powred inclusive.

If it works with11.2 maybe.
