Plug It: And Forget About It

What is it?
The Logitech Unifying Receiver is a teeny, tiny wireless receiver that can stay plugged into your notebook’s USB port and lets you easily connect up to SIX compatible wireless mice and keyboards to the same receiver. And since you don’t have to unplug it, you don’t have to worry about losing it.
Why you want it:
With a Logitech Unifying receiver you get wireless freedom-- and convenience -- without the hassle of multiple receivers, so you can add a compatible wireless mouse or keyboard to the same receiver. Got it? And that means your wireless devices are ready when you need them.
With 128-bit AES data encryption for keyboards , it boasts an impressive battery life of up to three years.
(Since we’ve always wondered how they calculate this, we asked our Logitech rep who explained that “Battery life based on a calculation of an estimated 2 million keystrokes per year in an office environment.” And there you have it.)
