Does Unifying Software Work

[Freerunner]

I have a Dell computer, running W 7, and I lost the dongle for the K520 Logitech (not M520) keyboard for it. Looking on the support page I notice that I can use their unifying software. Does this actually work without the dongle? I also am using a Logitech wireless mouse and am wondering if the software will have a negative affect on it. Thanks

The dongle is needed.

OK, I lost the dongle. Is there anything else I can do?

Apart from buying a new keyboard, you can look for a logitech unifying usb dongle on ebay?

You can buy a new dongle from Logitech

OK, thanks. Either way I need to get a new dongle. Will try both suggestions. Thanks again

What do you think the software actually does?

You can use the software to assign your keyboard to a different unify dongle.

I wasn't sure but after thinking more about the response that I would need a dongle, it was kind of a "duhh" moment. The only other dongle I have right now is for the mouse, but I'll have to check to see if it can handle the unify. Do you know if more than one device can be assigned to the dongle?

Only if it's a unifying dongle.
