Pair Logitech Non-Unifying USB Receiver to the Mouse

Sometimes, the dongles for Logitech mice get left on old keyboards and the mice are simply gathered up in a box destined for eWaste. Well, in this video, I show how the non-Unifying USB receiver can be paired to the mouse even if it wasn't the one that originally shipped with it.

I qualify that in both cases shown in this video, the USB receivers were the right dongles for the mice, but weren't the ones that originally shipped with it. The host system that ran the utility was a 2019 MacBook Pro booted in the Windows 10 Pro bootcamp partition (How I wish the silicon laptops had that feature).

The correct utility to use is Windows-only. You can find the Win 7/8/10 variants at this page:

This was the thing I was lookking for ages. I have the same mouse M185 with a Keyboard that comes in combo. I lost the single-dongle that worked with them. you solution worked, you just need to do it twice for keyboard as well. BONUS, the dong I paire with them is for another combo MK220 a bit bigger dongle in size but it worked. Many thanks sir!

Thanks sir. You saved me some money as I was about to buy another new wireless mouse. I lost my receiver but found an old receiver on my bosses desk. I saw this video, followed the steps and now my old wireless mouse is working again.

Hi I recently lost the dongle for my Logitech K470 keyboard and M340 mouse which I purchased as a combo set and share one dongle, what would be the correct model of dongle for ordering a replacement? any advise would be much appreciated. (I tried the unifying one it's not compatible..) Thanks

[tkonzl]

Perfect, and thanks for the video. In my case, the dongle was bad and wasn't connecting to any USB port on my computers, which was causing the issue (it would work if I applied upward pressure to the dongle while in the USB slot). I purchased an M317 mouse from Sam's for $12 and got the dongle I needed for much cheaper than online. Then I used the software you demonstrated to connect the devices to the new dongle. Badda-bing! My wireless keyboard and mouse combo is working again.

Hello. I have a mouse with its dongle and got an old keyboard without the dongle. If I pair the keyboard, the mouse still works?

Hi plz tell me i have Logitech m510 mouse but i don't have unifying receiver and how i will connect this non unifying receiver plz tell me solution

[AlexandraVartanian]

How do you pair a mouse/keyboard (on a macbook) when the logitech webpage is saying "there is no download for this version" when you attempt to download unifying or connectivity software ?

[alhasib]

Thank you. I needed this to add a replacement keyboard to a mouse & keyboard set. Just had to remove and replace the batteries since the keyboard doesn't have an off switch.

M171 can pair? They said m171 non unifying 😢
I plan to buy k580 keyboard to pair with M171 mouse. But seller said can’t pair!
I hope you reply something 🙏🏼

Thank you!! I had it 180°, my mouse died but I had the same mouse without a USB receiver! Just used the old UBS dongle, reprogrammed it with the sof you showed and BAM! I am happy 🤣

I bought some tp-link Bluetooth dongles…the Logitech software isn’t reading it…did I buy the wrong product?
