It was as if I had two dead devices on my desk. So I plugged the mouse USB receiver into the Windows machine too, and now NOTHING was working anymore – neither in Windows nor on Mac. The trouble was the keyboard was no longer detected on the Windows machine. And even when I switched on my Windows PC, the mouse was still working on the Mac.
I was happy, modelling things in Blender (which is a little cumbersome with a Mac trackpad, or perhaps I’m just not used to it anymore). The good news was that when I used the original mouse receiver on my Mac, with my Windows PC switched off, everything worked just fine.

So now I had to figure out how to UN-pair both devices again and put them back to how things used to be (before I started messing with them). I regretted pairing both devices to the same receiver and wished I hadn’t done that, for this very eventuality. But really, there’s only so much space on my desk, and I really don’t need more clutter in front of me for just an occasional switch. I know, it’s exotic, and perhaps I should have just bought another mouse.

It all worked fine on my Windows 10 machine, until I wanted to use the mouse (not the keyboard) with my Mac. Turns out it was relatively easy to pair both devices to the same receiver, thanks to a small piece of software that can be found here, along with instructions on how to use it: Being an all-efficient belt-and-braces kinda guy, I tried my luck. Apparently you can connect up to 6 devices to one receiver and store any spare ones inside the mouse or keyboard. However, I heard great things about these little receivers and wanted to free up a USB port, and thought I’d connect both devices to the same receiver. I could plug both receivers in, and both devices would work great. I also had a Logitech M325 mouse, both of which came with Unifying USB receivers. I’ve recently bought a new Logitech K360 keyboard for my HP Z600 workstation.
