Hello, Logitech connoisseurs, I bought Logitech Unifying receivers to replace the dongle that originally came with the Logitech Marathon M705 mouse. I plug it into my Apple Extended Keyboard, which is connected to the Mac Pro via USB cable, as before. Then a warning message immediately appears saying that the Mac does not recognise my keyboard. And I can't move the mouse at all. Why this behaviour? Is dongle ≠ dongle? Merci for an enlightening answer.

Question

Answer

I have connected 3 different Logitech mice to my Mac via Bluetooth and never needed a dongle. Of course, I don't know if this also works with the M705.

Answer

Hello Anon,

The Unifying receiver should be compatible with your mouse and work as expected... but the replacement receivers are not yet paired with your specific mouse :)... for MacOS you can find it on the Logitech support page at https://support.logi.com/hc/en-ch/articles/360025297913 or just search for the Unifying software in the downloads...
The software should be pretty self-explanatory... only problem: you almost need a mouse to use it :).

Hope this helped you. Happy mousing.

Cheers
