[P3SVGA] Logitech K360 keyboard won't pair

[N7US]

I previously used my Logitech K360 wireless keyboard with my P3SVGA but then
was trying it with my computer.  I unpaired the keyboard with the Logitech
Unifying receiver on the computer and now can't get it to pair with the
Unifying receiver plugged into the SVGA USB port.

I know the port works because I have used it with a corded USB keyboard.

Hi Jim,

The P3/SVGA sees the K360 keyboard as simply a 'keyboard' and doesn't know about pairing.    Have you tried removing and replacing the batteries in the keyboard yet?   Looking at mine, there aren't any buttons inside the keyboard to push.  Maybe you have to remove the unifying remote from the computer, and then put it back after the keyboard finds the P3 dongle.

Just guessing.

I've moved two K360s back and forth between several devices, including
the P3/SVGA, many times.  Nothing special was required; each pair
hooked up again when plugged into  the new device.

Hi Paul,

I moved the Unifying Receiver from the SVGA and connected it to a computer
that was new to any Logitech receiver.  The Logitech program showed the
receiver was still paired to the K360.  I unpaired it and tried it again in
the SVGA but no joy.

I plugged a corded K120 KB into the SVGA, and it works fine.

I liked the K360 so much I wanted to experiment with my computer and made it
"forget" the SVGA.

BTW, I just got a
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005BZNDOO/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_M3T1_ST1_dp_1
and like it at the 1920 X 1024 resolution with both fonts in the SVGA menu
at 2.  I have it sitting on my 87A "backup" amplifier.

Thanks for your help.

You were right, Paul.  I had unpaired it before when removing the receiver
from the computer, thinking I'd restore it to the out-of-box condition.
Pairing it in the computer and then moving it did the trick.

A nice feature of the K360, besides the wireless operation and its compact
size, is the on/off switch, which I use to prevent the (four!) cats from
sending gibberish when they walk across it.

Thanks again, Paul.
