    This has probably been asked before, so sorry for not finding a previous post.

    What happens if you have two notebooks, both of which have a Logitech Unifying nano USB and one mouse/keyboard combo and they all meet?

    Do you just 'disable' the notebook Unifying nano USB such that the notebook you're going to use takes control of the Keyboard/mouse.

    Most of the descriptions all talk about one desktop/notebook and many Logitech Unifying peripheral devices all connecting to that one desktop/notebook.

    But what happens when it's the other way round and many notebooks and only one Logitech Unifying mouse/keyboard, but with all devices having Unifying connectivity?

    it is 1 to 1 pair between the device and unifying receiver.
    so it'll only connect to last receiver.

    you can disconnect and connect to other receiver quite fast with the unifying software :)

    Its unfortunate that you can't. One thing you can do, however, is if you have a G700, put the unifying receiver on your notebook, and when you want to switch to your desktop, plug it in USB mode and that will override the wireless.
