What advantage do I have buying this over a standard mini Bluetooth receiver? Both the keyboard and mouse this is for works with any Bluetooth?

Because these aren't part Logitech's new line that works that way. Look for the symbol on them. You won't find it. You need this to get these working again.

I bought this to replace the first USB that came in a kit with a keyboard because I lost it. I won't buy any other brand for BT.

Like other have mentioned, you can hook up a keyboard and mouse with the USB port, it also has bluetooth that works great that you can connect things with as well.

I could not get either to work but I do have a Bluetooth with USB bluetooth dongle and it worked well. My standard USB controller worked much better. As well as my USB keyboard vs the Blue tooth one. But my dongle is version 2.1v

Check out the Logitech Wireless Wave Combo Mk550 with Keyboard and Wireless Mouse on Amazon. It sells for $49.99. Sounds like a good deal -- says long battery life for both components.

I currently use Logitech wireless keyboard & mouse. They use a nano receiver that doesn't stick out much. The panel closes, and the signal is strong enough to go through. Definitely hasn't bothered me and I would highly recommend this case.

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.

This is an older model wireless mouse and does not have the "mini" receiver that most have now. The receiver is probably about an inch long.

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.

The receiver, which is the small nub that plugs into the USB port, is for both the keyboard and mouse. So yes, even if you only want to use the keyboard, you still need to plug in the receiver.

Depends on how much you need the Bluetooth feature. I personally don't need it all that often and if I did, I've got a bunch of $2 mini bluetooth receivers I could use.

I bought this for a wireless keyboard and it worked fine. I was able to get the exact model of receiver needed from my broken receiver. You should get the correct model from your broken receiver or research on the Internet which is the correct model receiver for your model of mouse.

The keyboard will be used for (primarily) a tablet and a media center. Since the media center is now only controlled by a remote, reentering the key is not an option (don't want to hook up a mouse every time to initiate the pairing ceremony). Meaning, I want to be 100% sure that the bluetooth keyboard will remember to which devices it is paired with.

Use a Blue Tooth Device. I did find ONE, and only one, wireless keyboard and mouse that also worked through the USB port with an USB to OTG adaptor; the receiver plugged into the USB 2.0 side of the adaptor while the other end plugged into the USB port of the Mach Speed. The keyboard/mouse was sold under the Inland name. An attempt with a Logitech failed.

The mouse and keyboard use the same USB receiver you can use the mouse seperately as long as you have the receiver.

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 don't know about the mouse, but the keyboard is built specifically to work with Android, with appropriate shortcut buttons. It will however work with any Bluetooth device, you just won't have the same shortcuts.

Yes, a very small receiver (dongale) plugs into the USB port. Mouse and keyboard connect to the same receiver. Works great!
