Logitech is about to release keyboards and mice with a tiny USB receiver which aims to overcome such things by allowing multiple peripheral devices to connect to just one receiver.

Logitech "Unifying" Keyboard, Mouse and Trackball I have been a fan of Logitech products for a very, very long time (who remembers the Logitech Bus Mouse?).

Logitech's nano receiver has always impressed on-the-go users due to its tiny dimensions (it protrudes by roughly 8mm), and would-be competitors are only just catching up.

Here's where it gets counter-intuitive. To remove a Logitech device, click Add Devices on the previous screen, and then Add Unifying Device on this screen. Yes, to remove, you must click Add. I know.
