Pairing logitech mouse/keyboards w/ Unifying receiver on Ouya

[coachclass]

If you have a logitech wireless keyboard or mouse, it's pretty easy to get it paired with the Ouya. There's no interface on the Ouya for it. You have to use a Windows machine and use the logitech software to pair the devices to a specific unifying receiver. Once it's paired on the windows machine, shutdown the computer. Remove the receiver, and stick it on the Ouya. Voila!

It appears that Logitech saves some configuration data on the tiny receivers, so that's how it works. I have a Logitech Mouse and keyboard on one receiver. Works great.

I don't think you have to install it on a PC first. The Mouse and Keyboard drivers are universal HUD drivers. Android (OUYA) comes preinstalled and fully configured to plug and play [ANY] mice and keyboard.

Here is what I use:
Measy Air-Mouse/Keyboard RC11

Still good information to know that the OUYA hasn't EXCLUDED any official Android supported devices.

Well, if the receiver is already paired with a device, yes you don't need to do anything special, just plug it in. BUT, if you need to pair a new Logitech keyboard with a Logitech receiver that's paired with an existing mouse, you need to use the logitech software to interface with the receiver to tell it to pair a new device. What I didn't know is that this pairing configuration is stored on the USB receiver, not as a computer setting. That's the handy part.

I have the receiver on a power USB 2.0 hub connected to the Ouya. The Ouya can be turned on using the mouse or keyboard.

Yea. I've found that most Keyboard/Mice are specifically paired with the receiver they ship with. I haven't had any luck repairing a device with a new receiver.

the OP is talking specifically about Logitech keyboards and mice (that just sounds weird) that are compatible with the Unifying program. I have one of their top end mouse and a good KB paired and I switch them around from my desktop to laptop and knew it was stored on the device or USB (or both, maybe), so I figured it would work but didn't know for sure so thanks for posting this!

Logitech Unified Device Pairings with KitKat v. Lollipop

It appears that Logitech Unified devices work with every KitKat or Lollipop (5.0) device I can connect them to, but not at all with any 5.1 devices. Suggestions sought .....
