My Mac mini restarted itself. Now I cannot login because neither my Logitech MX Master mouse or my Logitech MX Keys keyboard are recognised so I cannot do anything. It's as though Bluetooth is 'off'. Both were paired fine before the reboot. Help!
Got a tip for us?

Fixed it. Downloaded the Logitech software onto my Air. Plugged in the unifying receiver and then set up the mouse and keyboard again. I then put the receiver into my mini and was able to use both devices. Stupid really. BT should just work.
Thanks for following through. You probably saved me a lot of grief for when my MacMini finally arrives. I wonder when this BT issue on the M1 will be fixed? To bad we have to sacrifice a port just to get keyboards and mice to work!
It's very annoying. Just a tip. Don't pair your keyboard with 3 devices via bluetooth. As soon as you do that you cannot use the USB receiver anymore. You'd have to do what I did and 'reset' it via the software on another computer.
I use a USB 3.0 hub and the receiver works ok with that. But yes, I agree, annoying that you have to give up a port for something that should just work.

Many thanks! I have paired my MX 3 Mac Mouse, and the MX Mac Keyboard with several devices. Is there a way to reset the mouse and keyboard’s three device pairing buttons? Also I assume I should delete my iPad from these two devices, and not use BT at all for the mouse and keyboard?
The M1MacMini allure is starting to fade fast with me and I haven’t even received it yet. Note I’m reading quite a few external monitor issues.
Again, thank you for your help!
I heard that Mac minis in general, all the while, need(ed) a wired keyboard/mouse in some situations, whether M1 or Intel or PowerPC.
Still looking forward to mine
Arriving in several weeks
