Description Bastien Nocera 2015-10-14 14:40:26 UTC
Logitech unifying devices, the tiny USB receiver, work out of the box if you only have a single device to attach to it. Take it out of the box, plug it in, it will expect a new device to try to connect to it, and everything's working.

But, if you have a second device, you need to put the receiver in a mode expecting the pairing. Doing so, you can add new devices, you can list paired devices, and you can remove devices, so they won't connect to this received.

On the command-line:
$ ltunify pair
Please turn your wireless device off and on to start pairing.
Found new device, id=0x02 Touchpad
Dev conn notif is expected to be short, got 0x20 instead
Dev conn notif is expected to be short, got 0x20 instead
Dev conn notif is expected to be short, got 0x20 instead
Dev conn notif is expected to be short, got 0x20 instead

$ ltunify list
Devices count: 2
Connected devices:
idx=1	Keyboard	K750
idx=2	Touchpad	T650

$ ltunify unpair 2
Unexpected disconnection type 0000

This is very similar to Bluetooth, with all the pairing passwords.

ltunify command-line tool:

We might be able to slot this in to the new mouse and touchpad designs, as a new section when a Logitech Unifying receiver is available:

For reference a link to work to create a HID++ library

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2016-01-20 12:12:46 UTC
The libratbag issue is now closed, which should make it implementable.

Comment 4 André Klapper 2021-06-09 16:30:43 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new bug report at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
