Logitech Unifying Devices:How?!

[StarMarky]

I have 2 Logitech devices (Mouse & Keyboard) that connect via the small USB-Unifying-Receiver. How can I make that work with the Steam Link? I did the pairing on the PC first an then connected the receiver to the Steam Link, but neither mouse nor keyboard are recognized.

same issue here too.

Just plugged my Unifying Receiver to the Steam Link and switched on my M705 mouse. Worked immediately.

Only thing I can think of is to reboot the Link while the receiver is plugged.

Hope there are no deeper running issues at work with your hardware, but my mouse (M185) and keyboard (K360) work flawlessly with the unifying receiver plugged into the Link (I did the pairing with the Unifying Software on the PC before).

I have the Logitech K350 and M510 mouse/keyboard combo with the unifying receiver and it works pretty well for me on Link. They came pre-paired out of the box.

You might check out the unifying receiver on your PC and find the USB VID and PID for the device. Maybe Steam Link doesn't support that VID/PID currently.

Here is the VID/PID of my Logitech Unifying Receiver. They come up in Windows 7/8 as USB Input devices under Human interface Devices in the Device Manager.
USB\VID_046D&PID_C52B&REV_1203&MI_00
USB\VID_046D&PID_C52B&REV_1203&MI_01
USB\VID_046D&PID_C52B&REV_1203&MI_02

And now it works here, too. I have no idea what I did except of plugging it in again and starting the Steam Link. Hmmmm..... whatever, I'm happy.

Did you happen to power cycle the Steam Link (unplug/replug power cable) or just shut down / sleep from the menu or by letting it go to sleep after 15 min of no activity.

Also if you can still take a look at the USB info above this might be helpful to others that are having this issue. It might also explain why it didn't work the first time.
