If you have recently purchased a Logitech keyboard, you may have noticed that it does not have a designated “scroll lock” button. This can be confusing for users who are used to having this button on their keyboard. In this article, we will explore the location of the scroll lock function on Logitech keyboards and how to use it.
What is the Scroll Lock Function?
Before we dive into the location of the scroll lock button on Logitech keyboards, let’s first understand what this function does. The scroll lock function is used to toggle between scrolling and cursor movement on a computer. When the scroll lock is on, the arrow keys on the keyboard will move the screen instead of the cursor. This can be useful when working with large spreadsheets or documents.

Unlike other keyboards, Logitech keyboards do not have a designated scroll lock button. This is because the scroll lock function is integrated into the “Num Lock” button. To activate the scroll lock function on a Logitech keyboard, you will need to press the “Num Lock” button and hold it for a few seconds. This will activate the scroll lock function and the LED light on the “Num Lock” button will turn on.
Using the Scroll Lock Function
Once the scroll lock function is activated, you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll through a document or spreadsheet. To turn off the scroll lock function, simply press the “Num Lock” button again and the LED light will turn off. This will return the arrow keys to their normal function of moving the cursor.
Finding the “Num Lock” Button
If you are having trouble locating the “Num Lock” button on your Logitech keyboard, it is usually located in the top right corner of the keyboard. It may also be labeled as “Num Lk” or “Num” depending on the model of your keyboard. If you are still having trouble finding it, refer to the user manual or the Logitech website for your specific keyboard model.
Customizing the Scroll Lock Function
Some Logitech keyboards allow you to customize the function of the “Num Lock” button. This means that you can change the default function of the button to something else, such as the scroll lock function. To do this, you will need to download and install the Logitech Options software. Once installed, you can customize the function of the “Num Lock” button to activate the scroll lock function with a single press.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the scroll lock function on Logitech keyboards is integrated into the “Num Lock” button. To activate it, press and hold the “Num Lock” button for a few seconds until the LED light turns on. You can then use the arrow keys to scroll through a document or spreadsheet. If you are having trouble finding the “Num Lock” button, refer to the user manual or the Logitech website for your specific keyboard model.
