[Q] Does the Logitech Unifying Receiver work with OTG? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, could anyone tell us if the Logitech Unifying Receiver works with Nexus 5 OTG? Does that work with both mouse & keyboard simultaneously? Is there any problem such as responsiveness?

Works as expected. No lag, mouse and keyboard can be used at the same time.

[Q] Wireless Keyboard/Mice combos

I've a couple of wireless keyboard and mice combo units (Logitech and Microsoft) with USB transievers, but haven't had any luck getting any to work with the G Tab. Anyone successfull with these, or should I just look into the bluetooth ones?

I just tried my Logitech S550 combo on it and no luck, however I'm currently using my Logitech Wii Keyboard just fine on it. I'm gonna look into bluetooth ones for portability though
I tried to use the Microsoft Arc on my GTablet running Zpad 1106 and it was a no-go. The Logitech wireless worked, but did not display the cursor on-screen.
Still no luck with a mouse
I have managed to get a couple of keyboards to work, one a standalone USB and the other a mini wireless with a built in trackball, but still no luck with a mouse. Even with a standalone USB mouse, nothing.
Oh well, I guess a keyboard is better than nothing.
Maybe I should try a bluetooth combo. Anyone had luck with a slightly modded stock ROM (only added the Flash and marketplace fixes) working with a bluetooth mous and keyboard?
I am looking for a wireless keyboard with touchpad on it has anyone seen 1 of these at a reasonable price?
wireless, bluetooth, or wired

Air mouse

Will this tablet work with wireless mouse and keyboard or an air mouse.? What Roms support this?
thanks
I use a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 and a USB receiver with my TF101, works with every ROM I have tried when using the keyboard dock.
I have a M$ Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 that works with most ROMs (all ICS, most all JB 4.1 ROMs and EOS 4 with the KatKernel 4.2 ROM). Same with my Apple MightyMouse!
Using a Bluetooth mouse you do not need the keyboard dock or any adapter.
As far as an Air Mouse, I guess one would need more details on which air mouse as a google search yields many results.

Connecting wired Xbox360 controller with usb adapter (no dock)

Hello!
I don't have a dock and I was wondering if anyone has successfully connected a wired Xbox360 controller through the usb adapter (40 pin to female usb) to use with emulators. I've read that using a female to female usb adapter with the charging usb cable doesn't work (only works with low powered devices) but I'm wondering if it works with this other adapter. My concern is that the tablet won't be able to directly power the controller.

It will work fine, i was just trying to get a wireless xbox 360 controller working last night(From a dock). it connected fine, but was having issues with dead trigger so i gave up and brought an ps3 controller. Weigh up whether the ps3 controller is worth getting against the adaptor/ 360 controller, becouse the ps3 controller is ideal for the tablet (bluetooth connection)

I want to use it with emulators so I don't really mind if it doesn't work with some android games. I already have a wired Xbox controller and one of those adapters cost 20$/15€, so it's much cheaper than getting a PS3 controller.
But it's great to hear that it will work, thanks!

USB Wireless Keyboard/Mouse

Any reason why the shield won't recognize my usb wireless keyboard? I can connect a wired Xbox 360 Controller through my OTG adapter, but when I connect the usb adapter for the mouse/keyboard, it won't recognize that there is a keyboard & mouse connected. My nexus 7 recognizes both when I use it, and so does my galaxy note 3. I'd love to be able to use this as opposed to having to buy a new bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I'm using a logitech k400 keyboard with the touchpad and a logitech wireless mouse, model mk215, and they're using a unifying receiver.
I went to Best Buy and picked up a Dynex 7 port USB hub that is powered externally, and so far, the powered hub is not making a difference. Still not registering that the wireless keyboard/mouse are connected. Confirmed that hub works when connected to pc as well as my nexus 7, but not on the shield.
This will be supported in the update Monday its in the notes on things updating
I just did the update and plugged in a mouse via OTG cable and it seems to be working fine. Makes stuff like Plants vs Zombies really playable having a mouse.

I'm using a K400 and it works just fine. Both the keyboard and mouse pad are working great. I plugged in the OTG connector with the dongle already plugged into it and it wasn't recognized. I had to first plug in the OTG cable and then plug the dongle into the OTG.
The logitech unify devices work great with the Nvidia Shield.
HOWEVER, you MUST install the latest Unify software on a PC, link all the Unify devices to the same Unify transceiver you are going to use in the Shield. After linking everything you want to use, then unplug the Unify dongle and plug it into the Shield.
Why can't these instructions be included somewhere in the Logitech manual that came with my keyboard. What a waste of my time.
