How to Pair a Lofree Bluetooth Mouse with Windows, Mac, and iPad

Quick answer

Put your Lofree mouse into pairing mode, then add it from your device's Bluetooth settings: Windows via Settings > Bluetooth & devices, Mac via System Settings > Bluetooth, and iPad via Settings > Bluetooth. If your Lofree mouse is not connecting, delete the old pairing entry, restart the mouse, and pair again. For multi-device use, pair each device once, then switch with the mouse's device button or shortcut.

Pairing a Lofree Bluetooth mouse is usually a two-minute job, but Bluetooth is fussy about order: the mouse must be discoverable before your computer or tablet starts looking for it. The exact menu names differ across Windows, macOS, and iPadOS, and that is where most pairing attempts stall.

This guide walks through each platform in order, then covers multi-device switching and the fixes that work when a Lofree mouse refuses to connect. Keep your mouse charged or powered before you start, and keep it within a foot or two of the device while pairing.

Before you pair: two checks that prevent most failures

First, confirm the mouse has power. If it uses a battery, fit a fresh one; if it charges over USB-C, give it 20–30 minutes on a charger before troubleshooting. A mouse that is nearly flat may flash its LED but never hold a pairing window long enough for Windows or iPadOS to finish the handshake.

Second, clear old Bluetooth entries. If the mouse was previously paired to this same laptop or tablet, the stored key can go stale after an OS update. Remove the mouse from your device's Bluetooth list before you start, then pair from scratch. This one step resolves a surprising share of 'Lofree mouse not connecting' complaints.

• Keep the mouse within 1–2 feet of the device during pairing.
• Turn off other Bluetooth devices nearby if pairing keeps timing out.

Pair on Windows 10 and 11

Open Settings > Bluetooth & devices (Windows 11) or Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices (Windows 10) and switch Bluetooth on. Put the Lofree mouse into pairing mode, then click Add device > Bluetooth. Windows will scan for a few seconds; when the mouse name appears, select it and wait for the 'Your device is ready' confirmation.

If the mouse never appears, check that it is actually in pairing mode rather than simply switched on. Many Bluetooth mice use a short press of the pairing button for normal mode and a long press (often 3–5 seconds) to enter pairing, usually indicated by a fast-blinking LED. Also confirm the mouse is not still connected to a phone in another room.

• Windows sometimes lists the mouse under 'Other devices' first; give it a moment to move to the mouse category.
• If pairing fails twice, remove the device entry and restart Windows before trying again.

Pair on macOS

Open System Settings > Bluetooth and make sure Bluetooth is on. Put the Lofree mouse into pairing mode and wait for it to appear under 'My Devices' or 'Other Devices'. Click Connect and macOS will finish the setup, usually without asking for a PIN.

On older Macs running macOS Monterey or earlier, the same controls live in System Preferences > Bluetooth. If your Mac already shows the mouse as 'Connected' but the cursor does not move, click Disconnect, then Connect again. That refreshes the link without deleting the pairing.

• If the pointer stutters, move the mouse closer and check for USB 3.0 drives or hubs between the mouse and the Mac.
• Macs remember paired mice per user account; if you switch users, the mouse may need reconnecting from the second account.

Connect a wireless mouse to iPad

On iPadOS, open Settings > Bluetooth and turn it on. Put the Lofree mouse into pairing mode and tap its name when it appears under 'Other Devices'. The mouse becomes usable immediately, and iPadOS shows a circular pointer that you can adjust under Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control.

Two iPad-specific quirks are worth knowing. First, some iPads only show the pointer after the mouse is fully connected, so do not assume pairing failed if nothing changes on screen for a few seconds. Second, if the mouse was last used with a Mac or PC, it may reconnect to that device instead, so switch the mouse to a free device slot or turn the other device's Bluetooth off temporarily.

• The Wavy Chips Bluetooth Mouse connects the same way and is a good match for iPad use.



• If the on-screen keyboard disappears, that is normal once a physical mouse is active.

Switch a multi-device Lofree mouse between devices

Multi-device Lofree mice store several pairings and let you jump between them without re-pairing. The usual pattern is a short press of the device button to cycle slots, or a button combination for a specific slot; the LED blink pattern tells you which slot is active. Pair each computer or tablet once, label the slots in your head (for example, slot 1 for the office PC, slot 2 for the Mac, slot 3 for the iPad), and switching becomes a single press.

The common mistake is pairing the mouse to a new device while the old device is still in range and awake. The mouse may snap back to the previous host mid-setup. Turn off Bluetooth on the device you are leaving, finish pairing on the new one, then re-enable Bluetooth on the first device.

• Note which LED pattern means which slot; it saves guesswork later.
• If a slot stops responding, re-pair just that slot instead of resetting the whole mouse.

Fix a Lofree mouse that will not connect

Work through these in order: charge or replace the battery, remove the old Bluetooth entry on the host device, restart the mouse, then pair again. If it still fails, restart the computer or tablet, because a stuck Bluetooth service is a common cause on both Windows and iPadOS. Finally, test the mouse with a different device to isolate whether the problem is the mouse or the host.

Interference matters more than people expect. USB 3.0 hubs, external SSDs, and crowded Wi-Fi can all degrade a 2.4 GHz Bluetooth link. Move the mouse closer, unplug unnecessary USB 3.0 accessories, and try again. If the mouse works fine on another device, the issue is almost always the original host's Bluetooth stack, not the mouse.

• A full reset (often holding the pairing button for 8–10 seconds) clears all stored pairings; use it only as a last resort.
• After a reset, you must pair every device again from scratch.

Pairing steps at a glance

1. Charge or power the mouse: Fit a fresh battery or charge over USB-C for 20–30 minutes so the mouse can hold a full pairing window. Checkpoint: the LED should blink steadily, not fade out.
2. Enter pairing mode: Long-press the pairing button (often 3–5 seconds) until the LED blinks rapidly; a short press only wakes the mouse. Mistake to avoid: assuming a powered-on mouse is discoverable.
3. Open Bluetooth settings on the host: Windows: Settings > Bluetooth & devices. Mac: System Settings > Bluetooth. iPad: Settings > Bluetooth. Checkpoint: Bluetooth is toggled on and the device is scanning.
4. Select the mouse and confirm: Click or tap the Lofree mouse name when it appears, then wait for the connected confirmation. If nothing appears after 30 seconds, restart the mouse and rescan.
5. Remove stale pairings if it fails: Delete the old mouse entry on the host, restart both devices, and pair again from scratch. This fixes most 'not connecting' cases before a full reset.
6. Pair once per device for multi-device use: Pair the mouse to each computer or tablet separately, then switch slots with the device button. Next step: label each slot so switching is a single press.
