Zorin os 18 pro + MX Master 3s via bluetooth

I've already installed Solar and Logiops, and tried setting up the AI ​​settings, but it didn't help.
What I need: The mouse should work like it does in Windows. That is, it should connect BEFORE logging in, it shouldn't freeze, and it shouldn't disconnect. Right now, everything is exactly the opposite. How can I achieve this?

Does it work with the wireless receiver?

" How can I fix Bluetooth pairing issues with Logitech MX Master 3S?

To fix Bluetooth pairing issues with a Logitech MX Master 3S on Linux (including Ubuntu 24.04), follow these key steps:

  1. Ensure Proper Pairing Mode : Press and hold the device switch button on the bottom of the mouse until the status light blinks rapidly. This activates Bluetooth pairing mode.

  2. Check Bluetooth Controller Compatibility : The MX Master 3S uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) . Older Bluetooth adapters (e.g., Bluetooth 3.0 or earlier) do not support BLE and cannot detect or pair with the mouse. Verify your adapter supports BLE (e.g., Bluetooth 4.0+). If not, use a compatible USB Bluetooth 4.0+ dongle.

  3. Use bluetoothctl for Pairing : The GUI might not detect the mouse. Use the command line instead:

  • Open a terminal and run bluetoothctl .
  • Execute the commands: power off , power on , scan on .
  • Look for your mouse (e.g., "MX Master 3S") and note its MAC address.
  • Run pair [MAC] , trust [MAC] , and connect [MAC] (replace [MAC] with the actual address).
  • Type exit to quit.
  1. Verify System Configuration :
  • Ensure the bluez and bluez-utils packages are installed and the bluetooth service is running and enabled.
  • Check /etc/bluetooth/main.conf . The ControllerMode should be dual or commented out (default).
  • If using a Broadcom USB adapter, install the broadcom-bt-firmware package.
  1. Clear Conflicting Pairings : If the mouse was previously paired to another system (especially Windows), remove old pairings with sudo rm -rf /var/lib/bluetooth/* and restart the bluetooth service (sudo systemctl restart bluetooth ).

I don't know. Mine didn't come with a transmitter. However, this mouse works fine on nine computers under Windows via Bluetooth.

The driver is installed, the Bluetooth version is compatible, and the mouse pairs and works. However, sometimes it freezes and only turns on after logging in, and I need it to log in BEFORE logging in. It also sometimes disconnects. So, it's actually connected, but it stops working, and to get it to work again, I have to disable and re-enable Bluetooth.

I followed your recommendations. So far, there are no freezes or disconnections (they might, since I did that just 10 minutes ago). BUT, the mouse still won't connect BEFORE logging in.
