Can I pair lenovo wireless mouse and keyboard with a logitech unifying receiver?

1

I'm using two sets of wireless HID with the same laptop (one in the office, one at home). At work I have the Lenovo Keyboard and Mouse that came with the laptop and at home I have a set of Logitech stuff. As a result two of my precious few USB ports are now blocked by a dongle :-/

Is it possible to pair the Lenovo hardware with the Logitech dongle or the other way around? After searching the web for a while I found basically nothing.

Only if both sets use Bluetooth. And then you probably don't need any dongles as most laptops have a buildin Bluetooth receiver. – Tonny – 2017-11-24T11:49:03.123

Most probably NO.

Both brands probably uses proprietary communication protocols which are not harmonized (no business interest of any of the companies to do so).

(If you have a docking station in your office, you can store it's receiver there, and long term solution could be to stick to the same brand)

+1 beat me to it. even some peripherals by logitech can't connect to a unifying receiver because it looks for certified hardware only. – conquistador – 2017-09-20T08:38:11.523

I was kind of expecting this answer after literally finding nothing about this on the web. I'm actually keeping the Lenovo receiver in a docking station but most of the time so the pain is bearable :-) – Christoph Grimmer-Dietrich – 2017-09-20T09:35:17.213
