Could I use a USB extension cable to move the dongle closer to the receiver? I am using a desktop that is not in line of sight...

I've never done that... you might experience some lag in your streaming but it might not be noticeable. I'd give it a try!

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. You might be able to find more options prices elsewhere:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833242001

Yes, you only need a USB port in your computer. The receiver is built into the antenna. You MIGHT need to download some drivers for the device if you PC doesn't have any that will work.

No dongle needed. That's a reason I got this one. My desk is so small having to have something sticking out from my computer was a problem.

in case the dongle is too far from your keyboard(e.g, Desktop users), Logitech provides usb range expand tool.

It can be because device and dispositive conecctor are very far away. Probe its more close. Use short cable USB. Please. Logitech is a very good mark.

I'm not certain, but I don't think there are any extensions available--It's a very unique plug at the end of that cable...

the adesso keyboard (they also have a mac version if interested) comes with a small usb dongle. it works off of RF (not sure if mines 2.4ghz or not).. i had to extend the range so i got a usb extension cable and then was able to put the dongle up the wall about 7 feet high. that solved the problem. Also if you are running a DVI to HDMI cable, a 50' cable will work even though a lot of people claim it won't. you can get both cables cheap on ebay

Dear Tim, As we had discussed over the email that you had sent us, the USB extension cable is an active cable which amplifies the signal to allow connections over longer lengths. In general active cables work in a single direction. You may want to consider purchasing a passive USB cable for bidirectional support. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thank you, BlueRigger LLC service@bluerigger.com

It shouldn't be a problem. I just tested mine for you and it works upto 24 ft. with the usb receiver in the back of the PC! If you use the remote receiver cord so the receiver can face the front, it should be even better.PC

You will need to run it through the dongle. It upconverts to the input frequencies of the dongle.

I'm lucky if I get it to work at 6 ft away but the USB is plugged directly into the back of the computer, and not into the extension. I have noticed though if I pull my keyboard out a bit or lay it on the ground or something close to where I'll be using the mouse I get a great deal more distance out of it. I assume this is because my keyboard is plugged directly next to the logitech receiver and is being used as an antennae of sorts.Don't get me wrong this is not a complaint at all, I rarely use the mouse away from my desk and love everything about this mouse.

Can't really answer your question because the dongle I received from the seller didn't work at all... I found it to be to much trouble to try and return the item...

It needs to be run via a pc as it users drivers (either resident in your os or on the supplied mini-cd). You would require a second dongle with a high gain omni to re-broadcast the signal, so this isn't a cheap option and you would be better off with a high gain wireless router to share your connection (unless of course it isn't your connection you are trying to share/re-broadcast ;-) )

It shouldn't be an issue, it has a pretty strong wireless signal. I would say it will reach at least about 6 feet from your receiver (The USB port).

I have no idea what a dongle is. I knee this unit serves as audio for a laptop that has poor audio. I think you cab hook this yip to a ps3 with a headset and use it.
