The Logitech unifying receiver is FUBAR and no firmware updates will remedy that.
- bayindirh 4y agoThat's a pretty strong opinion on something so widely deployed and can work without any problems in a place which is very polluted with radio traffic and jamming in some frequencies. I had a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse which constantly lost connection where I live. No Logitech receiver even skipped in that place.
- alophawen 4y agoYou say it is an opinion but Logitech did abandon the receiver because they could not fix the security and instead released the Logitech Bolt with encrypted communication between peripherals, in order to not lose more corporate customers due to crappy security.
- bayindirh 4y agoIf my mind is not playing games with me, Unifying is around 10 years old at this point. It might be inadequate in today’s world, but it had a pretty good run for something like that. They may had to make breaking changes to it at some point, but it’s already old technology, so moving to bolt doesn’t make Logitech an incompetent company in my eyes.
- tmottabr 4y agoi guess this is why new products are using the Bolt receiver instead, that they claim is not compatible with the older Unifying receiver.. On the other hand, if the Bolt is any better then the Unifying only time will tell, but i do not have my hope up..
