The K850 is also Bluetooth compatible, have you tried connecting it directly via Bluetooth? You can also try connecting it to another Logitech Unifying Receiver if you have a mouse using a Unifying receiver. Refer to these steps for either Bluetooth or the Unifying Receiver: www.logitech.com/en-us/products/combos/mk850-wireless-keyboard-mouse.920-008219.html
Hi, you used a set of keyboard mouse and wireless receiver to download the software and run the program. Because without a wireless connection you can not download and run the program. OK? When did you change the receiver? After starting to run the program? You don't show it in your video.
You can use any working keyboard to do that. Just plug in a wired keyboard and mouse to download the software. You can't operate a computer without an input device. You need to run the program on a working computer which you can operate and plug in the receiver there.
Buenas,tengo un problema y quisiera saber si alguno tiene alguna posible solucion, tengo 2 disp logitech con el usb unifiying, una vez conectados los dispositivos funcionan, pero no son reconocidos por la aplicacion de logitech por lo tanto no puedo editar los comandos ni del teclado ni del mouse.hay una pestaña que dice agregar dispositivo y antiguamente me aparecia la opcion receptor unifiying, ahora esta en gris por lo tanto no puedo seleccionarla, nose si a alguien le paso.gracias
Can you remove it or delete both the devices, then install one first, then add the second one? I have not seen this issue but I usually install new devices this way.
Do they all have to be Logitech to work? I also have a extra Logitech mouse that came with a keyboard and I dont want to use. I also have an old Kensington mouse that doesnt work well but would want to use its USB receiver to pair with the basic Logitech mouse. Can that work?
Unfortunately these only work for Logitech, the TX/RX is using their own wireless band is not Bluetooth. If you have a Bluetooth mouse it could pair to the BT receiver in your PC wirelessly.
Thank you, this worked perfectly. I had lost the receiver for an expensive keyboard/mouse combo. I was able to buy a cheap keyboard/mouse combo and connect the older combo with the new receiver using your instructions.
After the first pairing, i can bring the receiver and paired mouse to other pc and use right? Without having to repeat the process? Because my work place pc have restrictions to installing software.
Hi, I have just bought one of these mice: M185, code MR0087. However, I cannot find any Logitech software that detects it (Connectivity Utility, Options+, SetPoint, etc.). I own another M185 mouse (just bought previously and the difference in label is that the code is MR0085) and that one is easily detectable. I have the same issue with a brand new M220 mouse (no detected by any Logitech software). Have you come across a similar situation?
Hi, the M185 and M220 should be Plug & Play devices, what OS (Windows 11?) are you using? Also, are you trying to use the same USB receiver for all your mice? Each mouse should come with its own USB receiver already paired, so you should use the corresponding receiver with each mouse.

I noticed that the website in your video no longer works!! But I was on a Linux OS (and not a Windows OS), so after a quick Google, I decided to use 'solaar' for Linux ... very easy and simple (open-source command line tool by the community)! I know that you should be able to do the same thing with Logitech tools, but they are only for Windows systems. I think there is support for MAC as well. FIRST - Install it if you don't already have it! $> sudo apt-get update $> sudo apt-get install solaar NEXT - Get information about current USB dongle in your computer (optional, can be skipped) $> sudo solaar show // This will dump information about the USB dongle itself, list any pairing it has and provide information for each paired device. PAIR - Issue the pair command $> sudo solaar pair // Make sure to turn off all the devices you don't want to pair and turn on the device(s) you do want to pair. UNPAIR - You can also remove a pairing. For example, one of the USB dongles had a second device (a keyboard) paired to it. Since I could not find the keyboard anywhere, I simply removed it: $> sudo solaar unpair 2 That's about it!! It literally takes a few seconds. The biggest 'unknown' is what if other people would have been using their mouse and keyboard near me ... would it have picked them up as well? Probably ... something to consider.

I have not tried this combination. According to the Livewire website not all Logitech devices support this: Do all wireless Logitech mice support the unifying receiver? No. For example, Logitech's gaming mice don't support the Unifying Receiver and instead use Logitech's "Lightspeed" wireless feature. You can identify wireless Logitech mice compatible with Unifying by the square, sun-like icon printed on the mouse. This icon is also on the Unifying Receiver. I guess there's no harm trying it out using the methods I showed to see if they work, some users reported that "some" devices have cross functionality.
@@ZX7mcm yeah it is frustrating they made different types of dongles, but I have seen replacement dongles selling for around US$5 but you need to get the right one for it to work.

@@pishedbloke thanks the non unifying receivers are hard to come by so I was hoping to give up unifying pairing on one of my dongles to only pair with a non unifying k270 and m185 combo
I have a MK320 keyboard/mouse combo that's missing its reciever that I'm trying to get working. I have nine recievers with Logitech's name on them. I am using the connection utiltiy. The connection utility does not recognize over half of the recievers as even being Logitech, even though the recievers have Logitech's name on them. I'm on the verge of NEVER buying anymore wireless Logitech keyboard or mouse again.
You can check if the receivers are Unifying or Non Unifying.. I think the MK320 is using its own USB receiver and it is non Unifying as it does not have the orange logo on it. It's frustrating that they have these two standards, they could have just made everything work with Unifying receivers, right?
@@pishedbloke I have a mix of five unifying and four regular Logitech branded recievers. The Logitech utility doesn't even recognize some of them, even though they are Logitech branded. I am so done with Logitech, cause there's plenty of other brands.
I haven't tried that combo but this is the response from Livewire: Do all wireless Logitech mice support the unifying receiver?

Yes, once it is paired it should work on other PCs. Do the paring at home then move both the mouse and receiver to the office PC.
So, a non unifying bt connecter can connect a keyboard as well as a mouse to PC? Or you need two bt receivers?
Oh wow I made this video awhile back, I can't remember exactly but I don't think you can connect 2 devices to one non unifying USB connector.
You can! I did it today. Unrelated devices were unified.

Logitech does this deliberately, i cant find a list of compatible unifying devices.
I have a k470 m340 keyboard and mouse set. Can I add a 2nd mouse m330 using the same receiver from the original set?
Actually you can. I recall I had forgotten to remove another mouse from my receiver and both were working at the same time
Yeah, im planning to leave one mouse at home, one in the office. Is it possible to pair a new m330 to the original set mk470?
