Bolt USB-A Receiver

Once this little Bolt USB receiver is actually paired, it works flawlessly. I switched my MX Master from Bluetooth to the Bolt dongle, and the difference was immediate—way smoother, way more stable, and none of the random lag spikes I’d been quietly tolerating. Five stars for performance. Now… the pairing process. This part felt like Logitech accidentally sent me on a time-travel mission back to 1997. I’ve dealt with IRQ conflicts and jumper pins that made more sense than what happened here. When you switch your MX mouse from Bluetooth to Bolt (Easy-Switch Slot 2 → Slot 1 in my case), Windows pops up a tiny “Click to Pair” window. Cute idea, except the moment you put the mouse in pairing mode… the Bluetooth connection drops. And since you haven’t paired with Bolt yet, you now have no mouse to click the button that pairs the mouse. Beautiful little Catch-22. If you have a wired mouse lying around, that’s by far the easiest route. Just plug it in, click the pairing prompt, and you’re done. But if you don’t… welcome to the workaround. Pro tip before you begin: Before switching your MX mouse into Bolt pairing mode, place your cursor as close to the bottom-right corner of the screen as possible. The pairing popup appears there, and once Bluetooth disconnects you’ll be using Windows’ numeric keypad “mouse,” which moves at the speed of a tranquilized turtle. Here’s how I escaped the loop: Press Left Alt + Left Shift + Num Lock → this turns on Windows Mouse Keys. Your numeric keypad now becomes your temporary mouse. 2/4/6/8 to move 5 to click Use the numpad to crawl your way to that tiny pairing prompt and hit 5. Once paired, turn Mouse Keys off the same way. After that? Smooth sailing. The receiver works exactly as advertised and completely fixes the Bluetooth quirks. Bottom line: The device is excellent. Logitech just designed a pairing method that assumes your mouse is already paired… while you’re trying to pair it. Once you get past that paradox, everything works perfectly. If you’re switching from Bluetooth to the Bolt dongle, don’t give up—just use the secret Windows mouse hack (or a wired mouse if you have one) and you’re golden.

5 stars. The Logitech Bolt USB-A Receiver is excellent quality and works flawlessly with my devices. It offers strong connectivity and reliability, ensuring a stable wireless experience without drops. Setup is quick and simple, showing great usability and practicality. I also appreciate its compatibility with multiple Logitech devices, and the compact design adds portability without cluttering your workspace. Overall, this receiver combines quality, functionality, and durability perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a dependable wireless solution!

I have a large monitor with all my USB "things" connected via single usb-c to my macbook, once a while my kids unplug my laptop and plug theirs, no more messing around with 2 keyboards, this just works by having LOGITECH Bolt USB-A Receiver in my monitor note: my macbook keyboard is connected with wire to the monitor, it works the same way

If you misplaced or need a spare Bolt receiver, then this is for you. I can't count the number of times I have left the receiver in a workstation I was using and only remembered it when I tried using my mouse. Even if you are not as forgetful as I, it is good to have a spare handy. It syncs quickly and works with all the Logitech Bolt devices.

This might be obvious but this is called a dongle. It works well. If you go onto EBay to buy a mouse or keyboard used, or even here you are taking a chance it is not coming with a dongle ( the original owner kept it attached to their computer). Save yourself lost time and hassle and buy one.

I posted to Q&A asking if this would work on a NVR for my security camera system and got two answers, one from the seller and the other from the manufacturer, both saying it would not work. However, I purchased it anyway because I believed they weren't understanding my question. Well, I'm glad I did because it works perfectly on both my Dahua and Hikvision NVRs. I did need to first pair the receiver to my MX Anywhere 3S mouse via the Logi Options software on my PC but then I simply unplugged the receiver from my PC and plugged it into the Hikvision then the Dahua NVR and it worked great on both. So, if you're looking for a wireless solution to a similar device, give this a try. I'm very happy with it myself! Update: I've been using this for a few days now and couldn't be happier with it's performance. Such a breath of fresh air, compared to my 2.4ghz mice! One thing I wanted to add but forgot to when I made the video, this Bolt receiver doesn't work on earlier versions of this MX Anywhere 3S mouse. The MX Anywhere 3 and earlier use the Unifying receiver with the orange logo. The 3S uses this Bolt receiver with the Green logo. So, be sure to purchase the correct technology to match your mouse and/or keyboard.

It is just what I needed to pair my MX Master 3S mouse to my computer for a usb a method compare to having it connect via bluetooth. It is different than a logitech universal receiver. It has the green logo on it.

Worked for a while, but after a software update to Logi Options + my computer can no longer detect the Bolt receiver. I only bought the receiver because the MX Anywhere 3S constantly dropped its bluetooth connection. I can't keep asking my IT department to fix this mouse; can't reinstall the software easily because I'm on a managed computer. The receiver also interfered with the computer's ability to use any other non-Logi bluetooth devices. Total waste of money on both products. I've never had issues with basic mouses connecting in the past. I could probably figure out how to get the Bolt reconnected, but I don't have the time to spend continually fighting with products that are supposed to boost productivity, but require constant maintenance and system restarts.

Ürün kaliteli ancak çok geç geldi.

J'ai acheté une souris Logitech sans avoir bien lu ce qu'il y avait sur la boîte... J'ai dû acheter cet accessoire en plus, ce qui a augmenté le coût... de ma souris... Mais c'est du matériel Logitech, donc d'excellente qualité. Et on peut y connecter plusieurs dispositifs, si j'ai bien compris... Ca ne me servira à rien car je n'ai qu'un seule souris à connecter mais c'est ainsi...

Ottimo accessorio. Se avete necessitá di collegare una tastiera Bluetooth (tipo peeble keys 2 o altro compatibile con il bolt) sappiate che è supportato da Linux e configurabile con l'app Solaar. Inoltre il ricevitore vi permetterà di attivare la tastiera al caricamento di grub per la scelta del dual boot.
