Q&A for the IT Manager or Business Manager
Do I have to use the Unifying software to make the Unifying device work? Will my compatible mouse or keyboard work out-of-the-box?
Each compatible product works out-of-the-box without any setup, just like any other Logitech wireless device. The Unifying receiver is a great bonus feature that brings added convenience and flexibility when you want to connect multiple wireless devices to one receiver.
I purchased a quantity of mice and keyboards with Unifying technology for my office and have paired the devices to the Unifying receivers that came with the keyboard. What do I do with all the extra receivers that came with the mice?
You can keep and store the extra receivers as replacements in case the receivers in use are ever lost.
Since the Unifying software can pair compatible devices to any Unifying receiver, you do not have to keep or track the receiver to the product with which it originally shipped. For some mice and keyboards, you have the option of storing the unused receiver in the product itself.
What wireless technology is integrated with Unifying peripherals?
Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz is integrated into all compatible devices, and provides 128-bit AES
encryption between keyboard and receiver.
How reliable is Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz?
Logitech Advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology provides a powerful connection with virtually no delays
