Rest in peace, my unifying receiver

The older ones were better

Today is a tragic day. One of my permanently borrowed Unifying Receivers died — I now have one left that went bathing. I think it’s been jammed too hard into my laptop when putting it in its case. That USB port is fine, so at least the damage kept itself to a receiver…

…for a deprecated protocol replaced by Logi Bolt. This is where Logitech went downhill, killing off support for older mice on newer receivers. I know that supporting old protocols is annoying, but Unifying devices are still pretty popular
