Logitech Unifying Receiver: One Receiver to Rule the Wireless USB Airwaves
August 7th, 2009
Logitech makes perfect use of wireless USB technology with their Unifying technology, which connects up to 6 compatible mice and keyboards (made by Logitech of course) to a computer using only a single, tiny receiver. It’s an awesome way to free up USB ports on your laptop, but obviously desktop users can also save space and eliminate clutter with this setup.
That’s the receiver right there, wearing pink skin and a gray shirt. Of course it’s the tiny thing in the man’s hand, the man being Logitech Senior Product Manager Wim Vanheertu. Watch as he explains his home computing habits, clumsily advertises Logitech devices and finally segues into the Unifying tech.

I hope this technology becomes standardized and then built into all computers soon. Lord knows size won’t be an issue. More details on Logitech’s blog and website.

Are you guys capable of anything other than copy/pasting press releases?
I thought it was just me noticing it at first but my friends are starting to mention it to me.
Excuse me? We’ve got three people writing content for this site and while we may occasionally get the initial story from press releases, we spend countless hours researching and finding unique items all over the world. Over the last 3 years, we’ve written over 3800 posts on this blog, and I’ve personally invested thousands of hours of time writing, so that’s a pretty insulting and uninformed statement.
Maybe if you read more than one post you wouldn’t feel this way.
Riiiight. First of all, most of our posts don’t even come from press releases.
Second, I don’t know what your idea of a press release is, because last time I checked they don’t usually have stuff like “Watch as he explains his home computing habits, clumsily advertises Logitech devices and finally segues into the Unifying tech” on them. Yeah, my posts sure read like I’m a PR bot.
Finally, if you’re going to point out the tech specs, gadget names and other technical details that we oh so shamelessly copy-paste, ask yourself just how many times you can re-word phrases like “connects up to 6 compatible mice and keyboards”. Please think before you comment.
This isn’t revolutionary due to the easiness of usin one word for the same purpose: Bluetooth
