Keyboards and Keyboard/Mice Combo Sets

[Dor]

hi,

i want to connect thi set to my notebook, but WITHOUT the BT tras.

i have BT in my laptop, that can handle up to 8-10 devices. 

i'd like to use the desktop set at my office, then throw the laptop inside my suitcase with the mx rev mouse(from the set),

than i got this mouse on the go. i hate notebook mice, they are too small for my hand. 

than when i comeback, the keyboard will connect automaticaly, like my cellphone etc. i hope. 

is that possible, to connect the MX 5500 set to a computer without using the Logitech original BT tras?

please, this is a reason to buy this set so anyone with experience is more than welcome. ~180$ for this set is not money to throw..

thanks

Dor.

Hi,

The MX5500 is able to connect to any computer that has a Bluetooth Radio without going through its own receiver.

Hi there

I've got a similar issue.

I bought another USB Bluetooth receiver because it is faster and can handle more devices.

Do you have any instructions on how to pair the mice/keyboard with a Bluetooth receiver,

other than Logitech's own one. The SetPoint software seems to work with Logitech's

device only.

Thanks,

I can can connect my mx5500 using my toshiba laptops bluetooth - works fine except the LCD does not sychronize and the LCD settings cannot be changed. Works fine with the Logiteck Bluetooth hub. I would prefere to use only my toshiba bluetooth - any suggestions?

cheers

Hi,

Which version of SetPoint are you currently using?

I have upgraded via webupdates to 4.72.4 and it appears to work ok with the toshiba bluetooth - are there any down sides to using the toshiba bluetooth?

cheers

Hi,

No downsides that I know off; except for the fact that our Bluetooth capable devices normally only work with the  Microsoft  or Widcomm bluetooth stacks. Usually they just fail to connect with Toshiba stacks

Seems to work ok with my toshiba stack - version 6.10.07.2(T)
