I have (Had) a Logitech MX 5000 that the LCD died on the keyboard and Logitech made me send in the receiver but in replacement they sent a a BNIB MX5500 anyway I since fixed the LCD (Damn flexible ribbon cables:thumbsdown:) since it is Blue-tooth can I use any blue-tooth adapter? or do I need Logitech's special Blue-Tooth dongle/adapter (Which is not cheap BTW but an ordinary one is) The original adapter said something to the effect of Blue-Tooth EDR 2.0
I got it to work with my friends Macbook Pro without the Logitech dongle so I am assuming any Blue-Tooth EDR adapter should work unless the macbook's built in adapter is different Oh I am not an Apple person Macs SUCK and iPods are the eViL:biggrin:
Thanks

I can't say for absolute sure, but any Bluetooth adapter SHOULD work. I'd stick with BT 2.0 / 2.1 + EDR to be safe.

My Logitech diNovo Edge works fine with a $10 USB Bluetooth adapter.

Lost my original Logitech bluetooth transmitter/reciever (adapter). I just confirmed you can used a "no name" blue tooth adapter with logitech devices. I have the MX 5500 combo and using a $1 adapter ordered off of ebay or the like..... It has no "reset" button on the blue tooth reciever/trasmitter. I just added the setpoint software and then added a blue tooth device in windows 7 control panel under bluetooth. Pushed the reset on the logitech mouse and worked! woo hoo

:biggrin:
