Customize Wireless Mouse M170/M171/B170 gestures with Logitech Options

You can use Logitech Options to customize the action that is triggered when when you perform one of the four gestures available on the M170/M171/B170 mouse. 

See Use gestures on the M170/M171/B170 mouse for more information on how to use gestures.

To associate an action with a gesture:

1. Start Logitech Options: 
   Windows: Start > All Programs > Logitech > Logitech Options 
   Mac: Macintosh HD > Applications > Logitech Options
2. Select the Mouse tab in the top left corner left of the Logitech Options window.
