Do both the keyboard and mouse run off of a single USB receiver?

Yes, single usb receiver. I have ordered hundreds of these for my business and they all work perfectly on all platforms. Great buy.

I've had mine for quite a while with various wireless mice and keyboards without a problem. I do not have the USB-dongle for my mouse and keyboard plugged into the USB ports in the monitor, however.

I use it with a Logitech unifying receiver for my mouse (Logitech Anywhere MX), but I also have a Logitech Illuminated Keyboard that is wired and plugged in as well. I haven't had any issues using the mouse, but I can't speak to using a unifying receiver for both the keyboard and mouse.

Yes you can, if you get a USB OTG adapter. However, you have only one USB port. You would likely need a keyboard with a trackball built into the keyboard to use both devices. Regardless, unless you send a lot of text, I do not believe you will need either a keyboard or a mouse. I seldom plug in my keyboard.

The wireless mouse is completely separate from the keyboard. Both do, however, use the same USB connector, so bear that in mind. If you want to use the keyboard one place and the mouse somewhere else, they both have to use the same usb connector.

Yes. The keyboard/mouse is electronically matched to the USB transmitter, whether hardwired or thru software with the unifying process with those units using the configurable wireless technology. Probably one could design a way to maliciously configure the unifying units to create a problem situation, but you would have to work at it.

A single unifying receiver can pair with up to 6 keyboards / mice (obviously from Logitech). You can use one from another brand with its own receiver too.

Looks like you should be fine. The keyboard uses Logitech's UNIFYING receiver, and the M525 shows up on the Logitech site as using the same UNIFYING receiver system as well. There are restrictions as to how many you can connect to a single receiver too, so that needs to be considered. I would double check the mouse and confirm that it's using the UNIFYING receiver just to be safe.

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

Nope. Just plug in the USB (the little PC shown next to mouse ) and it does the rest for you! Super simple.

If your keyboard and mouse are controlled via one USB (like wireless mouse & keyboard combination), and those are the only things you need... then you will not need anything else. This has one USB female port, which can be connected to two different computers (one at a time). But if you have more peripherals, then you can buy and USB hub which expands the number of USB ports ( so you switch many things like printer, keyboard/mouse, USB speakers, etc -- watch out of power consumption though). I have returned this product, though because of some other reason... take a look at my review.

I have used Bluetooth keyboards and mouses, but prefer Logitech parts that use the tiny unifying receiver. Takes up one USB port for both, and range is superior, they also connect at boot, don't need to wait for the BT drivers to load.

Nope! Inserting the USB receiver into the mouse MAY turn the mouse off (can't tell), but the keyboard is always on, but battery usage is nil during idle anyway. This pair is very slick, BTW, and have instant response. Keys are low contrast with small font, so you can MASSIVELY improve that by getting these stick-on letters: "ENGLISH US LARGE LETTERS KEYBOARD STICKERS NON TRANSPARENT BLACK BACKGROUND" ... only $1.80 but tricky to apply ... terrific keyboard after that!

Yes, I also use a USB Switch to cycle one keyboard and mouse between computers.

Not with mine. It has one USB plugin for both the keyboard and mouse and it wouldn't recognize the mouse. I'm disappointed. I'd look elsewhere.

You're right, a USB mouse and keyboard can usually be connected on a single port via a hub or wireless adapter. Perhaps separate connections are required to support the virtual mouse and keyboard features.

The mouse has a USB receiver that plugs into the computer. I think the keyboard is Bluetooth.
