The first and foremost step which you should try is installing the unifying software on your computer. Now make the contact points closer either by sticking a piece of paper inside or by pressing the points.Also, check if your system’s firmware/BIOS is updated to the latest build.Īlso, check if your dongle’s connections are not loose. Moreover, make sure your all chipset drivers are installed. We can perform a hard reset and see if this does the trick.īefore we start with the solutions, make sure that you have administrator access on your computer and the Unifying Receiver is not broken physically. Incorrect configuration: The receiver might be in an incorrect configuration which may cause it not to work.Conflicting applications: Several third-party applications might conflict with the receiver.Driver file: Your computer might not have the driver file installed which might result in the receiver not to work.

Unifying Software: Your computer might need the Unifying software released by Logitech to make the module work properly.A simple workaround is to uninstall the update. Windows Update: Global outrage started after a Windows Update broke the receiver and it was unable to sync devices.if I can get the first receiver working with the M560, then I can plug the second receiver and the second M560, and they both work. If I plug it to the MISTer, it does not work. More intriguing is the following case: I also have another M560 and Unifying receiver attached to another computer. Somethings triggers the M560 to start working. I cannot say which cases are those, because sometimes I get it working, sometimes I don't. I just know that in some very specific cases, after using for a little while the old regular mouse, the M560 would also work. and the pointer moved on the screen!ĭid I solve the problem or find a workaround? No. Then, I hit the Logitech mouse by accident. I kept the Unifying receiver plugged on in order to use the keyboard. So I plugged a very old ancient red laser optical mouse (I think its retro-appropiate ). Knowing that, I tried the seven usb ports on the i/o card. The Unifying receivers are infamous because they're really really picky about which usb port you're pluging them into. Question is I am not even sure if it's a software issue or a hardware problem. It's nice to have one keyboard (and one mouse and one monitor) to rule them all.8D I was used to use a KVM with several computers, back in the day. It's both a hub and a wireless connector, so to speak.

One good thing about the "Unifying" stuff is that you can pair several devices to one dongle. I suppose it's a good idea to get an integrated keyboard and touchpad.
