-I've got a wireless Logitech mouse and keyboard combo.

-The mouse if finally dying

-I've found an affordable MS wireless mouse

-It should easily work with the same receiver already plugged in for my keyboard shouldn't it?

-If not will two receivers (one MS mouse the other Logi Keyboard) interfere with one another?

I don't believe that MS mouse will be compatible with that Logitech receiver. You're likely going to need two different receivers and they shouldn't interfere with one another. Unfortunately, I cannot say this with 100% certainty, but it's a good bet.

Thanks, the MS mouse will come with its own receiver...im just trying to spare USB ports.

Logitech's Universal/Unified Receiver only works with Logitech products, and 2 different ones should not have any issues with each other. You're probably buying the really cheap stuff from the sounds of it. Are you certain that's what you want/all you need? :P

I would personally recommend wired mouse since it's probably the most used hardware and you don't have to worry about charging, battery dying on you, bluetooth connection failing.

But to answer your Q, I don't think you can use the same nano receiver on MS mouse...

Been using Logitech hardware since the nineties - I've had the best experiences with their products. The wireless mouse has been subject to a seven-year-old user often times so it's death was inevitable.

. I agree - Cheaper When considering the double A's I burn through however my desk setup at this time isn't convenient for a corded product.

I like Logitech products too, even if they're a bit expensive.
I'm still using a M510 + wireless keyboard + Unifying since ages: totally worth.

I doubt that you could mix different brands on the same receiver.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if there would be interferences or incompatibilities with multiple ones (but I don't have proof).

The Logitech M705 has a battery life so long you'll think it has it's own built-in perpetual power generator. I haven't changed the (2 AA) batteries in mine yet, and I've had it for 2.5 years.

Unlike my Performance MX, it can't be plugged in for charging, but then, it doesn't need to.

Logitech vs other manufactures cost-wise is just the opposite here in Zealand. The only other manufacture here cheaper than Logi is Genius.

Also, I did pick up a wireless MS mouse the other day (on sale for $15 USD equiv) (still milking my shoddy mouse until it's 100% dead ) so I might give it a try just to experiment and confirm in this thread if Logi and MS receivers will tangle.

I know loaded D-Inputs and X-inputs tend to tangle on the driver end when it comes to game pads. I'll have to experiment with this mouse thing. .

Thanks for the info. I've got this thread favorited.
(if GOG forums ever go down I'm going to lose a lot of notes)

This won't be an issue barring actual wireless interference. Windows doesn't treat multiple mice and keyboards as independent inputs, unlike game controllers (multiple mice will all move the same cursor, etc.); if an absent device did somehow cause issues it could be selectively disabled through the Device Manager without affecting other devices connecting through that receiver.

The controller conflicts in some games are due to how those developers implemented controller detection; the operating system itself is correctly reporting the individual controllers.

Thanks for the information. would there only be one entry in device manager for the Logitech mouse/keyboard as there is only one receiver (currently) providing wireless access for both (dropping access to mouse might kill keyboard as well)?

Each mouse and keyboard is listed individually (under the Human Interface Devices and Keyboards sections, respectively); devices can be disabled individually without affecting other devices sharing that receiver (since you're disabling that particular device rather than the receiver itself).

Cool, thanks for the info
