The decision to go from Unifying to Bolt is mystifying to me, since there's seemingly no user-facing benefit. It makes upgrading less enticing -- they should have either rolled out a new set of peripherals that all supported Bolt at the same time, or they should have rolled out an interim generation that supported both Bolt and Unifying.
- AdrianB1 4y agoAt first look, the Bolt stuff is supposed to be more secure, with better encryption or the data transferred and maybe with narrower band to allow more concurrent users in high density offices. I don't know how much it is correct and how much it is marketing, this is what I read.
- tmottabr 4y agoThe Unifying used same frequency as BT but a diferent protocol.. The Bolt is basically BT 5.0 Low Power..
- fuzzy2 4y agoIsn't the Unifying encryption broken beyond recovery or something? Either way, more secure connections for something as critical as input data are very welcome IMHO. That being said, for office work I'm satisfied with Bluetooth. No extra dongles is a huge plus, too.
