IDK... the Unifying Receiver has always been a piece of shit
Yeah, why not just use Bluetooth, almost everything made in the last few years supports Bluetooth and it doesn't need a shitty proprietary dongle.
the device comes with the dongle that connects it. In an office environment with machines that do not have wireless or bluetooth, you are stuck. The only time this app is any use is when you get the help desk call and someone tells you their new mouse doesn't work and they have a bunch of neighbors (in cubes or offices) that have the same hardware.
As I learned once I started using it with Bluetooth, Bluetooth devices don't work during POST, so I've had to have a secondary wired keyboard at hand for whenever I go into the bios.
Even the shity 1 cent aliexpress mouse does Bluetooth...
