![]() ![]() Using the "Advanced" option.the keyboard is recognized (state goes from inactive to active when you pound on the keys), yet no characters appear either in the Unifying test box or anywhere in the computer itself. Simply plug the included wireless receiver into your computers USB port and start using your keyboard and mouse right away without software to install. The usual workflow of cycling the power switch gets you nowhere. Note that the Unifying software only recognizes the keyboard using the "Advanced" option. Then verified that both the Logitech Control Center Deamon and the Logicool Unifying Software were enabled in the "Input Monitoring" panel of the "Privacy" tab of the "Security & Privacy" System Preference Pane.Īfter updating the firmware on the Unifying receiver, it's possible to pair the keyboard using the "Advanced" option in the Unifying software. There are probably 12 or so available Logitech downloads and it's not clear which ones are needed to get a specific piece of hardware functioning. And the "Logitech firmware update" which recognized the Unifying receiver and reported a successful firmware update. I say 'appears' because it is the only download that lists 10.15 as an available Mac OS version. Then reinstalled what appears to be the most recent Logitech drivers for Mac: "Logicool". Apparently several versions were present and some dated back to 2015 or so. I completely uninstalled all Logitech software, preference panes, and the like. Connect To Multiple Devices Easily connect MX wireless mice and keyboards via Bluetooth. Mac mini late 2012, Logitech wireless keyboard 800 (Unifying receiver, not Bluetooth)īackground (in case any Logitech engineers/experts are out there): Keyboard Logitech MK270 Wireless Mouse and Keyboard. Catalina installed without a hitch but my Logitech problem is a bit subtler. Plus the mouse features a built-in storage compartment, so you can take your. *These days, there's 'Logitech Options', 'Set Point' and the newest 'Logi Options+', depending on hardware/OS.Same problem here. The Logitech receiver is so tiny, you can plug it in once and forget about it. See How do Logitech keyboards coexist? What if I mix up the USB dongles? for how these 'mid-period' dongles worked. Thanks to roaima for the comment - there's a re-pairing utility Logitech Connection Utility available which may help. At least with the new Unifying dongles, you can manually pair several devices. ![]() Later dongles were paired for life with the device they came in the box with, no mix & match at all. As far as I'm aware, nothing still uses the old Connect* software, which I think was for the receivers with a physical button. If you have an older keyboard & a newer mouse, even though they are supposedly "the same thing" they may be using different versions of the dongle technology. Logi change the dongle requirements over time. They're either not-really-wifi or not-really-bluetooth, they won't link to anything except the 'family' they're designed for. Logitech's receivers are not interchangeable. Is there any way to pair the old keyboard and the new mouse with the same non-unifying receiver? What other alternatives do I have besides plugging to receivers simultaneously? But why can't I pair it with the older receiver (with or without the keyboard)? I also tried pairing the keyboard with the new mouse's receiver, but failed (the Connect Utility doesn't recognize that receiver at all - it says no receiver is connected - although the mouse is working just fine with it). The new mouse works with its dedicated receiver that came with it, so I know that the mouse is OK. I do as the instructions say (turn it off then on again) but the utility doesn't recognize it (I tried this strategy to re-pair the older keyboard and it worked). Now one button in the mouse stopped working so I bought a new M185 mouse, but I can't pair it with the older receiver using Logitech's Connect Utility (version 2.30.90). I have a Logitech keyboard and a mouse pair (keyboard K270 and mouse M185) that are paired to a single non-unifying receiver, and they work (I bought them together as a pair). ![]()
