I started by booting into windows and using a program called usblyser to analyze usb traffic. If within range of a paired receiver, it doesn’t make sense for a device to pair, because then your mouse would pair to other peoples receivers more or less at random (ever time you turned it on). Since these things are so tiny, and can be easily misplaced/stolen/eaten, I assumed that already paired devices would be willing to pair to another device given that they are not within range of a paired receiver. I figured I could take advantage of a case that the Logitech engineers must have planned for, loosing a receiver. I decided my program really only needs to do one thing, which is to pair to devices not near other receivers.

Thankfully I had another receiver and another machine to test on. Since I had already cracked a receiver open and soldered it onto the mobo of my EEEpc, I decided that 1) and 2) were out of the question.

Use one receiver per device (expensive in terms of usb ports).

Find a win/mac machine, pair, and basically pray that the devices never get unpaired.

This means that to use a keyboard and a mouse, you need to: There are no drivers, and this means there is no way to pair more than one device to a receiver. After that, they are paired! This is awesome for windows/Mac users, because they can use the provided software to connect more devices. To pair to the first device, all you do is plug in the receiver, and turn on your peripheral. Just finished a reverse engineering and building a “driver” that will let you link more than one device to a Logitech unifying receiver in Linux! Yay! (Big thanks here goes to Kevin, who helped me through some bugs/was a console guru)įor those of you who haven’t used the “unified” series of products from logitech, the selling point is that you can have multiple wireless peripherals (Keyboards or mice) that all link up to single TINY USB dongle.

*For those of you looking for something to let you attach more than one logitech device in linux, you should go to the downloads page.
