You need to use Logitech's Unifying Receiver software. Follow the steps to reassign the keyboard and mouse to one dongle

Not sure if I'm understanding the quiestion. I'm currently using only one USB for both the keyboard and mouse and it works just fine.

You need to download the logitech unifying software. http://support.logitech.com/product/6254 This is not described well. It took me a little while to figure it out. I have more than one mouse and a wireless keyboard and they all work with one dongle in the laptop. I believe you can have up to 8 devices paired with the dongle.

I researched the logitec site and inquired as to which keyboards the unifying USB would link to discover that it will not only unify those that are listed but a few others as well. If it says it will link the keyboard that is listed rest assured that it will do the job. Mine has worked flawlessly since it arrived. Good luck.

I don't know about Windows 8 since I have Windows 7, but if they are the same, then the answer is yes and no. Yes - as soon as you plug it in, Windows will find the drivers, install them and you're good to go.No - if you have multiple pointing devices from Logitech and you want to use them with a single USB dongle, then you need to download & install the Logitech Unifying Receiver software.Also, you may want to install their Setpoint software which lets you tweak the behavior (pointer speed, etc.).HTH, Amir

I use a separate wireless mice unit "Nady DKW-duo" that has two mices. I have never tried to use both at once but I am sure it would work that way.

It worked great with my Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. No problems during setup or use. Hope it helps. Stuart.

Any Logitech mouse with a Unifying receiver. It will say "Unifying" on the box somewhere, or in the listing. Practically any Logitech mouse that comes with a dongle will be, because it's gotten really hard to find a Logitech Bluetooth mouse lately. For example, every single mouse listed under the "Customers who bought this also bought..." listing for this keyboard will be compatible.

The only issue I have is that the mouse sometimes begins to act erratic. I have to move it closer to the dongle, then back again, and then it's okay. Happens every couple days. In the beginning, the mouse was doing it constantly, and the keyboard would miss keystrokes. To fix, I had to install a separate USB bracket in a rear expansion slot (plugged into a USB header on my MB) so the dongle was not in close proximity of other plugs/cables going into my PC. Keep in mind...my PC is on my desktop about 2 feet away from the keyboard/mouse; shouldn't be ANY problems. Well, not always, but usually, you get what you pay for. :/ The only issue I have is that the mouse sometimes begins to act erratic.

I asked the same question, for the same reason, over at the Logitech forum. Unfortunately, for security purposes, the mouse can only "mate" with one computer at a time, so you can't use the mouse with both laptops simulataneously. However, you can make a shortcut to the mouse's connection in the Bluetooth Manager and it's pretty easy to switch laptops by just pressing the little button under the mouse.

I have mine on a wireless logitech keyboard/mouse. The only difference is the receiver for my key/mouse is self-powered as in it has its own wall plug. I would think this SHOULD be able to power the little receiver dongle.

The keyboard and mouse requires a dongle to communicate and is contained in the packaging. BTW--the mouse will work alone or in conjunction with the keyboard. I have been very satisfied with this keyboard and mouse.

Yes, but you will need a logitech unifying receiver (available for under 10 bucks). Logitech is competing with Bluetooth and making there own receivers going away from the universal Bluetooth. On the universal receiver plus side you may have up to 6 devices synchronized. I keep two pointing devices per computer so this works for me. Logitech also claims their own receiver will eliminate the double click problem that occurs with some mice as they get older; but that remains to be seen. If you do not want to buy another receiver you make take the one from home but that defeats the convenience end so just get another receiver. Good Luck.

I had a unify Logitech wireless mouse that worked well with it. Never tried the keyboard, but same reciever.

I just plugged the receiver in and it worked (after batteries and turning on). By default the device is paired to the usb wireless thing it comes with and won't work with another. You can pair multiple devices to one receiver but you'll need to download the software. Oddly I had trouble finding the software online (the device doesn't come with a cd). there is a logitec page for it, but no software there.... I got the software on macupdate com (which might not help for pcs...) . Once I got the software it walked me through pairing both devices to the same receiver. It was frustrating, but its working great now.

I have the same question - I've tried two different wireless keyboards via USB dongle but both trigger the "USB device not supported" error - tried Logitech & HP.

Generally that is a sign that the item did not sync with the dongle. As there is not a sync button, the unit is sync'ed manually by using specific key. Make sure the USB is out of the system and the battery is out of the keyboard. Put the battery in the keyboard and the unit should flash, at that point put in the USB dongle. Now hold down the Esc and K key for 5 seconds

I'm not familiar with the Logitech Unifying Receiver. I no longer use the 1Port because it turned out to be too difficult for use by multiple computers on the network. Ended up buying the Cirago NUS2000 for what I needed. I can connect a USB printer and multiple USB drives to it and access all from any computer on the network.
