Do any of you use this on a laptop? The size of the receiver looks very inconvenient compared to logetech receivers...

The USB receiver does stick out while using on a laptop. It is much more pronounced than most slim receivers. I have not found it to be an issue while using on a laptop.

It is very inconvenient used with the laptop. You have to be very careful not to break it off. I recommend one with a shorter receiver.

This is an older model wireless mouse and does not have the "mini" receiver that most have now. The receiver is probably about an inch long.

Logitech V220 is not totally silent. There is a slight 'click' sound when using the right or left mouse buttons, but it is not conspicuous. For me, the worst feature is the larger-sized USB receiver instead of having the small nano receiver that has become the norm.

Can someone tell me how big this adapter is? I'm debating on getting this or a usb phone for my laptop. Judging by the pic it looks to be the size of a modem and I'd like to carry around the least amount of peripherals as possible.

I have not tried that, to the best of my knowledge no. I have 2 of them & I like the feel & portability. The dongle is so small I leave it in my laptop. I do a lot of numeric input.

As long as your PC detects this as the sound output / input it should work without any problem, I had lot of challenges with this in PC (esp linux) as the dongle was keep disconnecting. You should try its recent versions or get logitech brand.

I'm using mine for a monitor. I have a Dell laptop and had to push Fn and F8 to get it to work. Thank goodness for google. Don't know if I'd have found that info anywhere else. Folks at Vizio didn't know.

I can't say thank you enough. I found the receiver and ordered it. In case anyone has lost the USB Receiver like me, here's the direct link: http://www.buylogitech.com/store/logius/en_US/DisplayCategoryProductListPage/categoryID.11429200

I have this situation in theory. I have one side of the KVM attached to a ThinkPad. In practice, I dodged the problem by not caring about the mic and by attaching a Dragonfly USB Audio DAC to a USB port near the DisplayPort port, and the sound goes to the KVM from that.

Yes, as it's a wireless USB mouse, you'll just plug the receiver into your USB port. It's a tiny receiver, it only protrudes from the USB port about .25".

Works fine for me with direct line of sight. I have the receiver plugged into the front of my computer, so I can't speak to other setups.

Yes, it can be used on a laptop. That's what I bought it for, and I have used it for months now. The really neat thing about it is, if you take your laptop with you during the day, you don't have to pull out the USB receiver because it has such a low profile. :-)

Look at the Logitech site and look for unifying receiver software. There you find full compatibility models.

I have not tried it, but would expect that there may be an update on the Logitech website for the correct connection software. You could look.

I'm currently using 3 devices (G13, G430, and the analog controller) with the Logitech software on Windows 8.1 64bit on both my desktop and laptop with no problem. The only problem I've had is on my custom desktop, is I'll have to change the usb port for the G13 (it will stop working and begin to flash out of nowhere.)

I have an older Logitech, with the older USB receiver. It is a 2.4 ghz similar to this one and mine has at least a range of 30 ft, it is amazing. I would assume this one would be similar.

I've had hit and miss with this. I have a USB wireless set from Logitech as well, but it does not always see them when switching between systems. As Ben put it, I can use it with my Logitech revolution keyboard/mouse combo with no problems on one usb port, but for the headset it doesn't always seem to like it.

I thought that not having it was going to bug me, but it really hasn't been an issue. Do you have lots of bluetooth peripherals?Like les1984 basically suggested, you can get bluetooth receivers that don't stick out past the USB slot and always leave it in.EDIT: Here is a link to an example.
