Unifying receiver: How do I use/connect Unifying receiver on my Dell desktop PC to make the mouse work?

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.

The KB & mouse work off the same USB receiver/dongle, no worries. And it could go into one of the USB ports in the back of your tower, freeing up the front USB port. Good luck, Johnny N.

You should be able to plug it into any USB port on the computer. I did this for mine and it gives me a better connection between the mouse and receiver. If you have a destop computer I would suggest getting a short, at least enough cable to the computer, USB extension cable and run that to somewhere closer to your mouse and using it there.

None, the pc version is the same product with the unifying receiver included.

This Dell combo uses Logitech unifying technology. I would suggest that you to buy a Logitech Unifying receiver.

They work perfectly together. I have the headset USB wireless receiver plugged in right next to the mouse USB wireless receiver. No issues whatsoever. Each paired independent of the other.

Funny, mine said there are "known compatibility issues" with this and it has caused some conflicts for me on my Dell 9000 Windows 7Pro system. I am going to try to hook it up through my XP PC and see if it has conflicts there as well.Seems Logitech should have been able to fix this "known compatibility issue" with Windows 7 by now!

No, It comes with its own usb "chuck". It does not and can not work with the unifying receiver.

It may be Possible to use Logitech unifying receiver, because that is what this dell keyboard uses

That is unfortunate, it is because your device is not getting paired with the machine. It never happened with me. Could you try using a different USB port. I do not know if there is any driver for the mouse that you could install.

Yes. Just tried it with my optical mouse. Windows installed the driver and recognized it within a minute.

This keyboard does not have a trackpad, so you will need a mouse. While any mouse will do, using a Logitech mouse with a "Unifying" receiver will allow you to pair both the keyboard and mouse to the same dongle, using only one USB port instead of two. That's the advantage of the Logitech Unifying system One tiny dongle can control up to six devices.

What exactly are you looking for? I have the receiver plugged into the back of my desktop computer, which is close to floor-level... and I use the mouse on top of my desk.

I don't think you can. The USB receiver is matched to the mouse. That is so that other mice or devices can't "see" it and get confused. Looks like you need to just buy a new one. Sorry.

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.

I occasionally have that problem as well. I just pull the receiver out and turn the mouse off, and then put the receiver back in and then turn the mouse back on and it works fine.
