Can I pair lenovo wireless mouse and keyboard with a logitech unifying receiver?

Question

I'm using two sets of wireless HID with the same laptop (one in the office, one at home). At work I have the Lenovo Keyboard and Mouse that came with the laptop and at home I have a set of Logitech stuff. As a result two of my precious few USB ports are now blocked by a dongle :-/

Is it possible to pair the Lenovo hardware with the Logitech dongle or the other way around? After searching the web for a while I found basically nothing.

Solution

Most probably NO.

Both brands probably uses proprietary communication protocols which are not harmonized (no business interest of any of the companies to do so).

(If you have a docking station in your office, you can store it's receiver there, and long term solution could be to stick to the same brand)

Only if both sets use Bluetooth. And then you probably don't need any dongles as most laptops have a buildin Bluetooth receiver.

+1 beat me to it. even some peripherals by logitech can't connect to a unifying receiver because it looks for certified hardware only.

I was kind of expecting this answer after literally finding nothing about this on the web. I'm actually keeping the Lenovo receiver in a docking station but most of the time so the pain is bearable :-)
