This multi-computer function is further augmented by Logitech Flow (software KVM solution) which is similar to Synergy. This allows the use of receivers in several computers, e.g., a desktop and a laptop computer, selecting the computer to use by changing profiles on the mouse.

These devices can be connected to multiple receivers simultaneously. While most peripherals only store one profile, newer products such as the Logitech MX Master, MX Anywhere series, and M720 Triathlon allow multiple profiles. Compatibility and use Įach peripheral device can pair to one receiver per profile. Some Logitech peripherals allow a receiver to be stored inside. Logitech Unifying receivers (LURs) are often included in wireless Logitech keyboard, mouse, and combo sets, and may be purchased separately. Logitech receivers compatible with the Unifying protocol can be identified by the orange Unifying logo, which distinguishes them from Logitech Nano receivers of similar appearance, which pair in a similar manner but only with a single device, without using the Unifying protocol. Peripherals remain paired, and can then be used on systems not supporting the software.

Although not compatible with Bluetooth, devices pair to Unifying Receivers in a similar way. On Linux the Solaar software can be used to adjust the configurations. When purchasing a replacement receiver or connecting multiple devices to one receiver, pairing requires the free-of-charge Logitech Unifying software, available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Receivers that are bundled with a Logitech product are paired with the device at the factory. The Logitech Unifying receiver is a small dedicated USB wireless receiver, based on the nRF24L-family of RF devices, that allows up to six compatible Logitech human interface devices (such as mice, trackballs, touchpads, and keyboards headphones are not compatible) to be linked to the same computer using 2.4 GHz band radio communication.
