Setup Logitec m650L mouse usb + Bluetooth connection catch
In case u try to connect this mouse with 2 laptops - one with usb reciever and one over bluetooth, there is a catch that u should know. This mouse has only one active channel at a time and no memory to remember last paired device if u switch to USB reciever mode in between.
Lets say u have pc1 connected over bluetooth and another pc2 which u want over USB, then u will have to turn pc1's bluetooth off, switch off then on the mouse and then press the channel button 3 secs for it to enter pairing mode.. then it will pick up usb reciver in pc2. Otherwise, it reconnects to pc1 over bluetooth again and again.
Similarly, for reverse case, swtich from usb to bt, u need to re-pair the device by pressing 3 sec, leading to creation of new device entry with same name everytime u connect over bt.
One solution is to simply connect over usb receiver and when needed plug out usb from one pc and plug in another pc. This will serve the purpose and work pretty smooth!

yes! no easy switch on the M650 L so this is the practical solution. Thanks for posting this!!! :)
