Logitech Unifying Receiver is basically rebranded, slightly-tweaked bluetooth from what I can tell. I've had a lot of them running in the same room together and not had a problem.
I have a ridiculously priced Topre Realforce, but when friends and family ask for a recommendation or I'm helping them setup a machine I would definitely recommend something like this if they're up for spending a little more. Historically I've been recommending the Logitech K840 in those scenarios. This looks like a wireless upgrade to that.
- sillystuff 4y agoThe Logitech Unifying Receiver uses an nRF24LU1+. They use a Nordic Semiconductor proprietary protocol, "ShockBurst". https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Wireless/Nordic/nRF24LU1P_1_0.pdf https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Wireless/Nordic/nRF24LU1... https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/nRF24-series https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/nRF24-series This chip was pretty popular for non-bluetooth keyboard/mouse dongles, not just Logitech.

- user3939382 4y agoI found this comparison between that protocol and BLE https://d.lij.uno/misc-nrf24-ble.html https://d.lij.uno/misc-nrf24-ble.html it looks like the radios are very similar and can with some limitations be used for both, but the protocols differ
- tmottabr 4y agothis does not use the old unifying received.. it use their new bolt receiver.. the two are not compatible with each other.. i don't know about the Unifying but the bolt is certainly based on Bluetooth, BT 5.0 Low Power to be exact..
