 I ran into that when my keyboard died recently. The S line of
 peripherals uses a different USB receiver, called Bolt. I switch
 between two PCs with my work laptop, home desktop, and have a setup at
 work. I didn't want to have to replace 3 receivers, 2 mice and a
 keyboard because Logitech changed dongles.

 Apparently Logitech wanted government contracts, but the old unifying
 receivers didn't encrypt between the dongle and the device - hence the
 new devices and dongles.

 Marketing couldn't make up their minds, so there's an MX Keys S, MX
 Keys Advanced, and MX Keys for Business - all with the new dongle.

 I ended up picking up a like-new keyboard that worked with my old
 dongles for $60 on eBay.

 I want to go back to a wired headset - having too many latency issues
 on Teams where I keep talking over people using Bluetooth.
