Key Parts at a Glance

1

Logi Bolt USB Receiver

The nano USB receiver that plugs into your computer. Provides a secure, stable 2.4 GHz wireless connection. One receiver can pair both keyboard and mouse simultaneously.

2

Bluetooth

Alternative connection method — no USB receiver needed. Connect directly to any Bluetooth-enabled computer, tablet, or phone. Useful when no USB port is available.

3

Monitor / Laptop Brightness

Two dedicated keys to increase or decrease screen brightness on your monitor or laptop display. Works natively on macOS and Windows (with Logi Options+ installed for full compatibility).

4

Keyboard Backlight Brightness

Two keys to increase or decrease the keyboard's backlight intensity. Adjust to suit your environment — brighter for dim rooms, lower for bright offices. There are eight backlight levels available.

5

Speech, Emoji & Mute

Three dedicated shortcut keys: Dictation / Speech-to-text (activate your OS voice input), Emoji picker (open the emoji panel), and Microphone Mute (mute/unmute your mic during calls). Ideal for video conferencing.

6

Humanscale M8 — Monitor Arm Guide

Understand every axis of motion and how to adjust your dual monitor arm for the perfect ergonomic setup.

ℹ️

About the Humanscale M8

The M8 is a premium monitor arm that holds your screen in position using a weight-compensating metal spring — no levers, no locks. The arm floats effortlessly and stays exactly where you leave it. It supports single monitors up to 28 lbs (12.7 kg), or dual monitors up to 12.5 lbs (5.7 kg) each with the crossbar accessory. It carries a 15-year warranty.

Range of Motion — All Axes

Humanscale M8 Monitor Arm — range of motion diagram showing tilt, pan, rotation and height adjustment
Humanscale M8.1 — full range of motion across all six axes of adjustment.

Six Axes of Adjustment

Axis Range How to Adjust
↕ Height (Vertical) 10–11.5" of travel
Min 9" · Max 19" above desk
Simply push the monitor up or down — the spring counterbalance holds it in place automatically. No levers or locks needed.
↔ Depth (Reach) Up to 22" forward reach Pull the arm toward you or push it away at the elbow joint. The arm folds and extends smoothly.
↺ Pan (Left / Right Rotation) 360° at the base post Rotate the entire arm left or right at the post. Use Smart Stop (see below) to limit rotation range if needed.
↗ Tilt (Screen Angle) +80° / −15° tilt Tilt the screen forward or backward at the monitor head. Adjust the tilt friction screw with a hex key (Allen key) to set resistance.
⟳ Screen Rotation (Portrait / Landscape) 360° at the VESA bracket Rotate the monitor head 90° to switch between landscape and portrait orientation. Ideal for coding, reading long documents, or video calls.
⇄ Dual Monitor Pan (Crossbar) 21" left / right pan per head Each monitor head on the crossbar can be independently panned left or right. Angle both screens slightly inward toward you for comfortable dual-monitor use.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Your Position

1

Set the Spring Tension First

Before positioning your monitor, set the arm tension to match your monitor's weight. Use the hex key (Allen key) to turn the tension screw inside the upper arm.

💡 Turn clockwise for heavier monitors · Turn counter-clockwise for lighter monitors. The arm should hold its position without drifting up or down.
2

Adjust the Height

Sit in your normal working posture, then push the monitor up or down until the top of the screen is at or just below eye level. The spring will hold it in place — no locking required.

💡 Your eyes should naturally rest on the top third of the screen. If you're looking up, lower the monitor.
3

Set the Depth (Distance from You)

Pull or push the arm at the elbow joint to position the screen at roughly arm's length away — approximately 50–70 cm (20–28") from your eyes. Closer is fine for smaller screens; further back for larger displays.

⚠️ Screens placed too close cause eye strain. If you find yourself leaning in to read text, move the screen back and increase font size instead.
4

Pan Left / Right

Rotate the arm at the base post to centre the screen directly in front of you. For dual monitors, angle each screen slightly inward — typically 15–30° — so both screens are equidistant from your eyes.

💡 Use the Smart Stop feature to set a physical rotation limit, preventing the arm from swinging past the edge of your desk or into a colleague's space.
5

Tilt the Screen

Tilt the screen backward slightly — a 10–20° backward tilt reduces glare and neck strain. Adjust the tilt friction screw at the monitor head with the hex key to set how much resistance the tilt has.

💡 Tighten the friction screw if the screen droops forward under its own weight.
6

Rotate to Portrait (Optional)

To switch a monitor to portrait orientation, rotate the VESA bracket 90° at the monitor head. Portrait mode is ideal for reading long documents, coding, or video calls. Remember to rotate the display output in your OS display settings too.

💡 Windows: Right-click desktop → Display settings → Orientation → Portrait. macOS: System Settings → Displays → Rotation → 90°.

Dual Monitor Setup Tips

👁️

Equal Distance

Position both screens so they are equidistant from your eyes. Angle them inward 15–30° each so you're not turning your head excessively.

📐

Matching Heights

Set both monitors to the same height so the top edges are level. Mismatched heights cause neck strain over time.

🖥️

Primary Screen Centre

Place your primary monitor directly in front of you and the secondary monitor to the side. Avoid placing both screens equally to the left/right if you use one more than the other.

🔆

Match Brightness

Set both monitors to the same brightness and colour temperature. Mismatched screens cause eye fatigue when switching between them.

🔌

Cable Management

Route all cables through the arm's built-in cable channels — there are clips along the arm body. This keeps the desk tidy and prevents cables from restricting arm movement.

⚙️

Smart Stop

Set the Smart Stop rotation limit on the arm to prevent it swinging into your neighbour's space or off the edge of the desk. Adjust by rotating the stop collar at the base joint.

🏥

Ergonomic Quick Check

Once your monitors are positioned, run through this quick check: (1) Sit upright with feet flat on the floor. (2) Your elbows should be at roughly 90° when typing. (3) The top of your screen(s) should be at or just below eye level. (4) Screens should be at arm's length — not closer. (5) No glare or reflections on the screen surface. If anything feels uncomfortable after 30 minutes of use, re-adjust.

Pairing Your Devices

Two connection methods available — choose what works best for your setup.

Recommended for most team members

Logi Bolt provides a more stable, secure connection than standard Bluetooth — ideal for open-plan offices with many wireless devices.

1

Plug in the Logi Bolt USB Receiver

Insert the nano-receiver into any available USB-A port on your computer. It's small enough to leave plugged in permanently.

💡 Use a USB hub or the back of your monitor if you want to keep the desk tidy.
2

Turn on your keyboard and mouse

Slide the ON/OFF switch on both devices. The LED on the keyboard's Easy-Switch key 1 will blink rapidly, indicating it is in pairing mode.

3

Install Logi Options+ and pair

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from new users — click to expand.

Try these steps in order:

  • Ensure the device is turned ON (check the ON/OFF switch).
  • Hold the Easy-Switch key for 3 seconds to re-enter pairing mode (LED should blink rapidly).
  • If using Bluetooth, remove the device from your computer's Bluetooth list and re-pair from scratch.
  • If using Logi Bolt, try a different USB port. Avoid USB 3.0 ports (blue) — use USB 2.0 (black) if possible.
  • Ensure the battery is charged — a flat battery can prevent pairing.

Pair your work PC to channel 1 and your laptop to channel 2. Then simply press the Easy-Switch key (1 or 2) on both the keyboard and mouse to instantly switch. The switch takes less than a second.

  • MX Keys: Up to 10 days with backlighting on, or up to 5 months with backlighting off.
  • MX Master 3S: Up to 70 days on a full charge. Just 3 minutes of charging gives a full day of use.

No — both devices work out of the box without any software. However, Logi Options+ unlocks significant extra functionality: button customisation, app-specific profiles, Flow, gesture configuration, DPI adjustment, and battery monitoring. It is strongly recommended for all team members.

Yes. Both devices are fully compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The MX Keys automatically adjusts key labels — Windows-specific characters appear on the right side of keys, macOS characters on the left. Logi Options+ is available for both Windows and macOS.

Open Logi Options+, select your MX Master 3S, and navigate to the Point & Scroll tab. You can adjust pointer speed (DPI) from 200 to 8000, scroll direction, scroll speed, and thumb wheel behaviour.

Yes, this is intentional. The MX Keys has a built-in proximity sensor — the backlight turns off when your hands move away and turns back on when they approach. The ambient light sensor will also disable backlighting in bright environments to conserve power. You can adjust backlight behaviour in Logi Options+.

Logi Bolt uses a proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless protocol that is more secure and more resistant to interference than standard Bluetooth — especially important in offices with many wireless devices. It requires the nano USB receiver to be plugged in. Bluetooth requires no extra hardware but may be slightly less stable in crowded wireless environments. For most office setups, Logi Bolt is recommended.
