How can they call this bluetooth when it has dongle USB receiver: How can they even call it Bluetooth?

I can verify that you don't need the USB dongle to use this keyboard with the PS3. I do, and I think it works really well with the PS3. One thing (that I was disappointed about) tho, if you are planning on using this keyboard with a machine that has internal bluetooth, don't expect to have a generic bluetooth-USB adapter to use where ever. The dongle ONLY works with this keyboard, a fact that is verified on Logitech's own support forum (unfortunately I don't have a direct link). I have _not_ yet tried using this keyboard on the PS3 with Linux though.

Hmmm - online search yielded an owners manual that says it is: Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate). I'm not much help beyond that.

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

The dongle supplied (fits inside the mouse when not in use) is dedicated to the mouse and allows it to be used while another Bluetooth device is being used separately (via a second dongle). It also allows instant connection when you turn the laptop on so there are no Bluetooth connection menus to run through. It's seamless as far as the mouse is concerned.

You're source (computer, smart phone, tablet, etc.) must have a built-in Bluetooth transmitter. Older systems that don't have built-in Bluetooth will need an external source (dongle).

I have the same question. It says for TV so why can't you hear the tv through the Bluetooth speaker? Not tech savie so what do you mean a speaker and dongle that supports it? Isn't there one that works with any Bluetooth speaker and what would that be? Make it more simple to understand . Thanks

Not sure if its using and actual blue tooth connection or not but I use my Logitech wireless USB keyboard on mine sometimes. Plug the USB dongle into one of the back USB slots and you're good to go.

It connects with a blue took USB dongle so I would guess it only connects to things with a USB connection

This is Bluetooth only as far as I know. I was not aware of any plug in capability at all. Also I have come to learn that Bluetooth is not universal... I can not get this device to recognize my Windows 8 Laptop Bluetooth.

This is a bluetooth device, it only receives. There is a product like this that transmits and receives. The brand is miccus.

You'll need a Bluetooth dongle if your PC or laptop &#128187; has no build in Bluetooth. The rest is plug and play!

Yes. I have a bluetooth in my desktop system and it works with that too. No dongle needed.

Yes, you plug in the little bluetooth adapter (I did not know it was called a dongle) into your usb port and switch it to bluetooth to go wireless. It also has a cord that connects the headset to a usb port for audio/microphone connection and for charging the headset. The left ear part of the headset (opposite of the microphone) has a compartment that stores the bluetooth dongle. I found that to be usefull since I can easily keep it all together as I travel

Requires the receiving device to have bluetooth capability so if the device doesn't then yes you will need to add that capability through a transciever/dongle.

Am looking at the Device Manager, under: "Bluetooth." It says: "Dell Wireless 1707 Bluetooth 4.0 LE Device" BTY... I love this 2-in-1.

I was trying to remember because it has been a while since I installed it in my car. But you do need to purchase the bluetooth dongle, which I believe is seperate.
