What does the word Unifying, as I see in dmesg for some, but not all, the the rx buttons for wireless keyboards/mice, actually mean? I took that to mean that it could work for both their (logitech's) keyboards or mice, possibly at the same time so that it might be usable for both at the same time, thereby saving a usb2 socket. Testing that theory got that idea squashed, so what exactly does that word unifying mean?
It means what you originally thought -- you can use multiple Logitech wireless with one receiver. Several years ago the software to configure the receiver worked only on windows. A couple different people reverse-engineered it, and now there are 2 packages that allow you to manage it under linux. I use lur-command. The other package is solaar. Hope this helps, MM
