Logitech MX. How to switch simultaneously a mouse and a keyboard by one click.

[@carlsoncox3730]

I cannot believe Logitech hasn't implemented this. Thank you for showing us the way!

[@1stRanger]

It's really stupid we have to jump through all that hoops to be able to use such a basic function that should've been built into those devices. And after all these years Logitech not only did not addressed this problem with their software update, they deny its very existence.

logitech can suck it.

Would it be possible to do another video with a step-by-step guide for people like me who don't know what half these things mean? Like, what does "You can use it like a portable version" mean? Or, if not a video, a written guide somewhere?

[@agungsetyonugroho9899]

can you make more detail tutorial how to do that? and how to use portable software?

[@manuelrzsz6123]

Hello, that function is incredible, but I have a question, I have the same keyboard model but I have the M720 triathlon mouse, would it work with that mouse model??? can you help me

[@pawenofak2659]

Siemka, mam problem - bo działa mi to na klawiaturę, ale myszki nie łapie. Co ciekawe Twój konfig na myszkę - działa na moją klawiaturę, ale na klawiaturę myszki nie łapie. Próbowałem różnych kombinacji, ale jak krew w piach, nic nie działa. Myszka podłączona przez ten sam bolt ofc. Masz pomysł czego by tu jeszcze spróbować? Myszka MX Anywhere 3S

[@alex_pg]

Thank you for video! Please, explain me - why did you use for mouse code "0x1e" instead of "0x1b", as in original .bat?

[@shivshreyes]

how do i do a switch to ipad and back to windows?

[@lvlfk]

Would this software need to be installed on all devices so that you can switch back and forth?

[@TheZutox]

Yes, and no... You can use a standard windows or mac os feature to create a keyboard shortcut, but still you need to have a permission to run hidapitester program... (but you can use it like a portable version of any software - without install anything)

[@alexrds]

​@@TheZutox Do you think this would work for a Chromebook/Mac OS setup?

[@Ambient-Auroras]

Do all your computers have Bolt receivers, or are some/all using Bluetooth?

[@TheZutox]

Mixed 2 bolt and one bluetooth.

[@Cap1981]

That means the ps1 app has to be installed on each devices I suppose

[@tonigloupy6209]

doesn't work for me. Nevermind, I 'll keep switch mouse manually. I can't use bolt as the 2nd computer is from work, locked to prevent any non official installation from the company

[@raphaelsousa2046]

dude can you help me? when i switch to the channel 2 it works but when i try to change to the 1 channel the .bat doesnt work, can you share the code that you are using to switch to the 1 channel?

[@alex_pg]

You need to make this change: send-output 0x10,0x01,0x09,0x1e,0x00,0x00,0x00

For mx keys and mouse MX MASTER S3 someone knows how to do the same?

[@Santhoshkumar-mf5ei]

can any one help me to get this I am struggling to do this fix

[@TheRealJohnDoe2.0]

Annoying. No voice explanation, and low-budget video recording. Maybe youtube isn't for everybody.

[@TheZutox]

Hi there! Here are a few things to check: Data Length (--length) - Your command sends 20 bytes, but you have --length set to 11. Change --length to 20 so that it matches the length of the data you're sending in --send-output. Just so you know, my command "hidapitester --vidpid 046D:B367 --usage 0x0202 --usagePage 0xFF43 --open --length 20 --send-output 0x11,0x00,0x09,0x1e,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00 " works fine. (MX Mechanical Mini) NOT WORK with length 11!!! Hope this helps!

[@TheZutox]

It seems that --length might have worked differently in the past. I had a similar issue where it worked with incorrect length, but with the current version, you need to set the correct value for it to work properly.

[@TheZutox]

@@高佳翰 The key question here is whether you're using Logibolt or Bluetooth, as the commands differ for each case. The 20-byte version is used for Bluetooth, while a shorter version is used for USB. Secondly, to switch the keyboard to a different channel, it must be currently active on the computer you're working on. For example, if you're on computer A, you switch the keyboard to computer B. If you're on computer B, you switch the keyboard to computer A. If you have multiple computers, you cycle through them-each computer switches the keyboard to the next one, and the last computer switches it back to the first. Thirdly, the vidpid address you provided looks unusual; I haven't seen one like that before. Use the --list command and then try all the possible options that come up.
