Logitech Debut Unifying Receiver Via Marathon Mouse M705

We love wireless products because they keep our desk free from messy tangled wires. But then, since every single wireless product out there comes with their own receiver, they tend to occupied all our USB ports. Imagine one for keyboard, one for mouse, one for headset...the next thing you know, we already out of USB ports. Finally, somebody managed to create one single receiver that able to support multiple devices.

That somebody is Logitech, with their appropriately named Unifying receiver. Able to support up to six (Unifying-compatible) devices, the new Logitech Unifying receiver’s super tiny footprint is based on the company’s older nano-receiver. The latter receiver was very well known for its size which is so small that users can practically left it plugged into their laptop without the need of plugging it out ever again, even for packing up.

The new receiver is already available in Malaysia, bundled together with the new Logitech Marathon Mouse M705 which has a suggested retail price of RM 249. We do wonder about one thing though...assuming that Logitech will not release a stand alone Unifying receiver to the market, users could end up with bunch of extra receivers if they decide to purchase multiple Unifying-compatible products. Isn't that beat the purpose of the receiver as a sole wireless connector? What can you do with all those extra Unifying receivers, anyway? *grin*

Oh well, never mind that. Logitech official website (http://www.logitech.com.my) is at your perusal as always, in case you need further information about both products.
