How do I get my Logitech wireless mouse and this keyboard to sync to one Unify dongle? Right now I can only get them both to work to work by plugging in both dongles. Defeats the purpose of freein up a USB port.

You need to download the logitech unifying software. http://support.logitech.com/product/6254 This is not described well. It took me a little while to figure it out. I have more than one mouse and a wireless keyboard and they all work with one dongle in the laptop. I believe you can have up to 8 devices paired with the dongle.

The keyboard and mouse are not physically connected. Once the radio dongle is inserted in a USB slot they are simultaneously recognized. BTW, although I use the keyboard and mouse combination every day, I find the batteries tend not to need to be replaced more than once a month.

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.

Sorry, I have no knowledge or experience with either of these devices. It works fine with ordinary wired USB keyboards and mice.

Yes. Just get a set of "stack-able" wireless USB mouse and keyboard. What do I mean by stack-able? It just means instead of having one USB receiver for each peripheral, you have one that can receive the wireless signal from both.

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.

Yes .This definitely works for both Keyboard and mouse. I have the same combo and was able to pair both keyboard and mouse with no issues to this Unifying receiver. Be sure to download the Unifying software and follow instructions.

Yes, but you will need a logitech unifying receiver (available for under 10 bucks). Logitech is competing with Bluetooth and making there own receivers going away from the universal Bluetooth. On the universal receiver plus side you may have up to 6 devices synchronized. I keep two pointing devices per computer so this works for me. Logitech also claims their own receiver will eliminate the double click problem that occurs with some mice as they get older; but that remains to be seen. If you do not want to buy another receiver you make take the one from home but that defeats the convenience end so just get another receiver. Good Luck.

Is that to say that you can use the mouse and keyboard w/o the included dongle? I'm looking for a bluetooth set to use w/ the integrated bluetoth. Thanks.

Yes. Additionally, I found an old Logitech mouse & paired it with the keyboard using the keyboard's dongle. The "combo" keyboard & mouse work together with one dongle on MacBook, MacBook Air & PC. The dongle is inserted in a bell in powered hub.

The keyboard and mouse are both wireless and use the same "dongle" that little square piece. Put the little square piece in a USB and that acts as the wireless transceiver.

Victor Torres is incorrect. You will not have issues with this mouse. Each mouse is paired to its unique receiver. This mouse uses the "UNIFYING" receiver, which allows you to pair up to 5 devices to the same receiver. However, in order to pair two devices (in your case, two mice) to the SAME receiver, you must use the SetPoint Software. If you plug two receivers into the computer, you will be prompted about the UNIFYING software but you have the option to KEEP both UNIFYING receivers active. In summary, you can pair two of these same mice to the same computer OR pair them to different computers. There will be no "crosstalk" between the two different UNIFYING receivers.

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.

I purchased the K205 Keyboard which had a Unifying receiver. I already owned a M305 Mouse which has just a nano receiver. I attempted to pair it via the unifying software downloadable from Logitech and it does not appear to work. This is a shame since the keyboard and mouse both match. Thankfully I only need the kybd at the office so I will just plug the unifying receiver into the docking station I leave at the office and it will all be fine. I will continue to keep my mouse receiver plugged into my laptop usb port where it has been for months and use it when I am mobile as needed.

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.

According to spec, this mouse does have a nano size unifying receiver that can connect up to 6 unifying-compatible devices. So the answer is yes based on the spec, but I don't have the Logitech unifying-compatible keyboard/device to test with.

According to the specs yes...this is what I just saw and you, too, can read about it. Plug it. Forget it. Add to it.Tiny Logitech Unifying receiver is so small it can stay in your notebookAdd a compatible wireless mouse without the hassle of multiple USB receivers. Learn more>
