Logitech recently addressed a technical issue affecting macOS users who encountered problems with their Logitech mouse functionality. The problem stemmed from an expired certificate necessary for Logitech’s control configuration app, Logi Options Plus, to operate correctly.
Multiple Reddit users reported issues such as disrupted scrolling, button malfunctions, and unresponsive gestures due to the malfunctioning app. Logitech’s gaming devices management software, G Hub, was also impacted by the certificate expiration.
Fortunately, Logitech promptly released a patch to rectify the situation. This fix, essential for macOS 26 Tahoe, macOS 15 Sequoia, macOS 14 Sonoma, and macOS 13 Ventura users, ensures the preservation of device settings and customizations post-installation.
Mac users were solely affected as macOS mandates a valid Developer ID certificate for app execution, a security measure that has previously influenced other applications. Logitech acknowledged the oversight and apologized to affected users, emphasizing the company’s commitment to addressing the inconvenience caused.
