Did he say what other mouses he tried? Do you have a link to the video?

White.

Unifying seems to not work, but that may be a red herring. There have been no reports of any new Logitech mice working. Only old ones. I bought a Logitech M185 because somebody had an old M185 that was working. My brand new M185 does not work, even though that particular model does not have the unifying logo on the dongle.

Glenn, that's great! Glad to hear that this mouse is working for you since you started this thread 3 years ago. Does it work on both USB ports, or just the front one?

I bought a logitech M185 specifically to use on my NVR. I never paired it with anything. The dongle doesn't even have the unifying logo on it, but it still doesn't work with my NVR.

I also tested my logitech mouse out with a USB analyzer (https://www.adafruit.com/product/708) to see if I could figure out why it was not working with my NVR. It did not announce itself as a mouse, it showed up as a wireless dongle or something like that, and then started dropping packets left and right. I don't have the analyzer anymore, but I could still analyze my new mouse on my laptop with wireshark software as a comparison (I just can't use wireshark to debug problems while connected to the NVR).

timbercreek/glenn, did you guys get your $15 mouse from amazon yet? Does it work for you guys?

tinman thanks for sharing! That is really weird that some mice work on the back port and others don't. Which model of NVR do you have?

Holy crap it worked!

This $15 wireless mouse from amazon works with my RLK16-410, and is even available on amazon prime One-Day delivery!

One weird thing that I noticed though is that the wireless mouse doesn't work on the USB port in the back of the NVR. It only works on the USB port in the front. My wired mouse works just fine on the back port, just not the wireless one.

Just out of interest, which USB port are you using? The front or the back?

I've tried both.

[quote]However, my Logitech which DOESN'T use the Unifying receiver DOES work. Unfortunately I don't have the model number of the mouse that works but I know the mouse cost me a fair few quid, unlike the cheap mass produced imports, and a quick search on Logitech's site seems to suggest it's no longer manufactured and ALL their wireless mice now use the Unifying receiver.[/quote]




Yeah that's what I suspected. It seems that the unifying receiver is the problem with the newer Logitech mice, and you can't get one now without it.



I have decided to try this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Compatible-Android-Windows/dp/B07VJHQ4N2

It is only $15, and in the amazon description it says this: "works with laptop, desktop or any device with USB port"

If it doesn't work, I'll just return it saying that the description of the product was incorrect. Anyway, it should arrive on Wednesday. I'll report back wether it works or not.
