Re Mike's reply 28 above:

The Logitech "unifying receiver" comes only in a USBa form factor.
BUT... you can get a USBc (male) to USBa (female) adapter that will accomodate it.

This one's kinda short, but it would work:

From amazon:

My only concern about these is that the adapter is too short to place the unifying receiver "close enough" to the mouse so that the radio signal won't be subject to interference.

If that happens, you could add THIS to the mix:
(Numerous choices shown)

The idea is to "get the receiver closer" to the source.

In my case, I use an OLD Macally "iMediaKey" keyboard that has USBa ports on either end. Perfect spot for the unifying receiver.

Yes, though I've been unhappy with the tracking speed of wireless mice. This isn't really a Mac issue as much as a wireless thing. I get the allure of the wireless keyboard and mouse for computers but definitely try it our to make sure you're happy with it

Also for many wireless logitech mice, they use a little USB nub (not sure its called). As you know Macs don't have USB-A ports, so make sure you get a mouse that is Bluetooth capable. I believe Logitech tells USB-C type nubs (again not sure what you call them), and Bluetooth capable mice, so be careful what you buy.

Yeah, I remember reading about you being disappointed with the wireless mouse tracking. I’ll pay attention to what mouse I’m getting. Thanks!
