Nano Receiver For Wireless Mouse And Keyboard

I first got one of these for my laptop at work when I started having an entrapped ulnar nerve and wanted a more ergonomic workstation. At first, I tried a Microsoft bluetooth mouse which cost more and would constantly disconnect and require setting up so I did a little research and got the M310. One reason I wanted bluetooth was because the last time I bought a wireless mouse/keyboard (also from Logitech), the receiver was huge and had to be hidden. It also had very low range. To my surprise, the nano receiver with the new M310 is really small - nano if you will, but has much more range than the old style wireless mice. Just for giggles, I was trying it across the room and it still worked. I just leave the nano receiver in the USB port of my laptop all the time and it still fits in my bag. While I was going through painful cortisone injections which did little to help my gimp wrist, I was also happy to use this mouse on either left or right hand as it works both ways (giggity). It's really an elegant design. It's also very light, uses only one AA battery, and battery life is about a year. I liked it so much that now that my wrist is better due to stretching exercises I found on youtube from doctors (which may or may not be legit), I got one for my desktop workstation too which up till then had a wired mouse. It's time to evolve. I'm curious whether the receiver/mouse pairings can be updated in case one or the other is lost.

I was looking for a wireless keyboard and found this, having the usb work as a wireless receiver for the mouse and keyboard its super convenient.

I've tried almost every type of different wireless keyboard and mouse to use with my computer, which is situated behind speakers, 10 feet away from where I use them, and this has been the only receiver with a consistent connection. Its accurate enough to play games like call or duty, or to do photo editing. The keyboard is pretty nice, I like it but some people don't. The mouse is a little small, but makes up for it with a very nice mouse wheel and other frills. But if you're considering this product for a home theater PC, all that is more or less moot, because IMO the Logitech unity receiver is the only option. TL;DR: don't buy anything but a Unity receiver device, such as this one, for long distance computing usage.

Wireless keyboard and mouse work great!

Great wireless keyboard and mouse

I originally plugged the USB nano receiver into the left side of my 3 year old 17 inch Macbook Pro. I use a 30 inch screen as the main viewer with the macbook to my left on a very large table (used as a megadesk) with another computer and printer ect. to my right. This positioning did not work well as the receiver was about 40 inches away from the mouse and facing away from it as well. This made for spotty response that was very frustrating. I then tried plugging the nano receiver into the right side of my mac (corded) keyboard. (It has a usb jack on each side underneath.) Now the receiver works perfectly as it is only 4 inches away from the mouse and pointed at it. I am sure that if I placed my laptop on the other side of my monitor it would have worked just as well. As a side note, my Gal uses this same mouse (with a dell laptop) at work. It is placed under her desk and it works great. She was surprised that I had any issue with placement. Maybe I have more interference or the macbook shields the wireless connection more than the dell. I do recommend this mouse without reservation but wanted to post this in case you might be needing to use it in a similar setup. By the way, I love that you can store the nano receiver inside the battery compartment of the mouse for travel! Most people will be fine with just leaving it plugged in as it is so small, but it was a very thoughtful touch to keep you from losing it.

Good quality wireless mouse and keyboard

The wireless keyboard and mouse reduce some of the clutter of wires.

This keyboard is all I need: it has proper full size layout, it has dedicated multimedia keys and having all that it wastes no space on my desk as it practically bazel-less. It comes along with a useless mouse which I care not about. It also comes with a nano receiver which means I can't pair this keyboard to an existing unifying receiver; it can only work with the included nano receiver. I wonder what will I do if I lose that receiver. I give it 5 stars because the keyboard itself is the best I could find out there for the price.

Liked that comes with wireless mouse and keyboard has a lot of from and back inputs
