2Connecting with Bluetooth - Interoperability of Logitech products

This section describes the way Logitech products can work together.

2.1What Bluetooth devices can I connect to the Bluetooth wireless hub from Logitech?

Any device compatible with the Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR specification and featuring one or more of our supported profiles will work with our Bluetooth wireless hub. In addition, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR is backwards compatible with previous Bluetooth generations (1.0 or 1.2), meaning you can still connect your older Bluetooth devices.

Please refer to our currently supported devices (www.logitech.com/bluetooth/howto).

2.2I have a system with Bluetooth built-in. Can I use Logitech products without limitation?

We assume that you are enjoying your Bluetooth experience on your PC or notebook and you wish to continue. For this reason we will NOT install our Bluetooth stack when another Bluetooth stack is detected. However, the keyboard and mouse will be fully functional, working in "embedded mode" (e.g. the Bluetooth software required for your keyboard and mouse is "embedded" in the Bluetooth wireless hub). If you want to connect additional Bluetooth devices to your computer, such as a mobile phone, you will have to use your existing Bluetooth solution.

2.3I have a system with Bluetooth built-in (e.g. a laptop). Can I use the Logitech Bluetooth keyboard or mouse without using the Logitech Bluetooth wireless hub?

We have provided our keyboard and mouse with the Bluetooth wireless hub mini-receiver because very few computers are Bluetooth enabled and we want to provide the best Bluetooth experience to our customers. However, if you already have a system (typically a laptop/notebook) with built-in Bluetooth and the HID profile, you can directly connect the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, without using our Bluetooth mini-receiver.

However:

You need to first pair the keyboard and mouse with the laptop Bluetooth stack.

If your system is using a different Bluetooth stack than the one supplied with Logitech products, you may not be able to enjoy the features of the Logitech Bluetooth wireless hub.

2.4I have a laptop with Bluetooth built-in. What should I do?

The MX 5000 Laser and diNovo Laser have been optimized to work with any laptop with built-in radio using WIDCOMM stack v.1.4.2.21 or above and Windows XP SP2 stack. This means our software ("SetPoint") will recognize your configuration and offer a special installation, allowing you to enjoy the features offered by your Logitech Bluetooth product in conjunction with your laptop.

Note: You may need to upgrade your system to the latest Bluetooth stack available for your laptop. Please refer to your laptop manufacturer’s support documentation for more information.

MX 5000 LASER specifications

The Logitech MX 5000 Laser is a premium wireless keyboard and mouse combo that epitomizes advanced functionality, innovative design, and user-centric ergonomics. Launched as part of Logitech’s celebrated MX series, the MX 5000 redefines the way professionals and casual users engage with their computers through a seamless blend of comfort and cutting-edge technology.

One of the standout features of the MX 5000 is its advanced laser tracking technology. Unlike traditional optical mice, the MX 5000's laser sensor provides superior accuracy and responsiveness on a variety of surfaces, ensuring precise cursor control. With sensitivity settings that adapt dynamically to user needs, the MX 5000 allows for smoother transitions between different tasks, whether you are navigating spreadsheets or playing graphics-intensive games.

The keyboard component is equally sophisticated. Featuring Logitech's PerfectStroke key system, the MX 5000 promotes a quiet and comfortable typing experience. Each key is designed to distribute pressure evenly, resulting in a more natural feel and reduced fatigue during long typing sessions. This thoughtful engineering is complemented by an ergonomic design that encourages a more natural wrist position, further enhancing user comfort.

For those who crave functionality, the MX 5000 includes customizable hotkeys and programmable buttons. Users can easily assign frequently used commands to specific keys, tailoring the keyboard to fit personal workflows and enhance productivity. This level of customization is particularly beneficial for professionals who demand efficiency in their daily tasks.

Another noteworthy characteristic of the MX 5000 is its wireless connectivity. Utilizing Logitech’s advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology, this combo provides a strong and reliable connection with minimal lag. The plug-and-play USB receiver is easy to set up, allowing users to quickly connect the mouse and keyboard without the clutter of cables.

Power management is also commendable, with a long battery life that minimizes interruptions. The MX 5000 promotes eco-friendliness by providing rechargeable batteries, ensuring that users do not need to frequently replace disposable batteries. Additionally, the integrated battery status indicator helps users stay informed about battery levels, avoiding surprises during intensive use.

In summary, the Logitech MX 5000 Laser stands out for its advanced tracking technology, ergonomic design, customizable features, and reliable wireless connectivity. This combination of qualities makes it a valuable tool for anyone looking to enhance their computing experience, whether for work or leisure. With its commitment to comfort and functionality, the MX 5000 continues to be a favorite among those who prioritize performance.
