How to connect k750 logitech keyboard without USB?












0















I have a k750 keyboard that I would like to connect to a computer via Bluetooth. I know normally you'd just plug the dongle in but is it possible to forgo that and connect using my laptops bluetooth? Has anyone tried this?

          The K750 is not a Bluetooth keyboard. It connects to a "Logitech Unifying" receiver using a proprietary protocol, that is converted into a USB HID class by the receiver.



          So unless your laptop doesn't have a "unifying" receiver built-in (as opposed to bluetooth) you must use a Logitech receiver.

          • Gotcha, I've found this project github.com/xenogenesi/hidclient. I'm a little shaky on the detials but in theory If i plug the USB into a raspi and then forward the signal over bluetooth somewhere else that might work..
