Can I use a different wireless receiver dongle for the Logitech MX Master mouse?

Question

Wireless receiver dongles for the Logitech MX Revolution mouse are hard to find.

In case it gets broken or lost, can I use another type of receiver with this mouse?

Answer 1

The MX Revolution has two editions: 06 and 07.

Both come with their own receiver and these are not cross compatible -- even though they look nearly identical. See Logitech's help page about this.

The MX Revolution is not a 'Unifying' device so it can not be paired with the tiny Logitech Unifying wireless adapter.

However, I've had some luck with an 07 mouse which could be paired with a wireless adapter from an MX 1100 mouse.

So in summary:

• The 07 edition (part number 810-000422) is compatible with MX Revolution receivers 810-000412 or 810-000826

• But 07 can also be paired with with MX 1100 receiver 810-000824.

• The 06 edition (part number 831869-0000) is compatible with its native receiver 831735-1000.

There may be other combinations that work too.

The receivers don't support multiple devices, so they can only be paired with one device at a time.
