“Does this use a unifying receiver that allows me to use 1 dongle for both the keyboard as well as a mouse (such as a MX Master 3)?”

I have a MX Master 3 and I don't believe you can share the bolt receiver from the keyboard with it. Or at least I haven't figured out how to do it. It's not much of an issue when using with my desktop with tons of USB ports, but it's an inconvenience when using with my laptop where I have to rely on Bluetooth pairing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes has new style dongle. Green label instead of orange which that indicates that it is a unifying dongle.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The MX Mechanical uses the Bolt receiver which is different than the prior version.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, I use the same dongle for both this keyboard and my MX Master 3. I believe any Logitech peripheral that uses Logitech Bolt can connect to the same dongle. The one the mouse came with I keep in a drawer since it's not needed, they're both connected to the one the keyboard came with.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It uses their newest standard called “Bolt”. Bolt replaces Unifying. The MX Master 3S also uses Bolt. The 3 and older use unifying.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The use of the dongle is optional. You can connect via bluetooth!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it comes with the new Logitech bolt receiver, you need to install the options + app to set it up to link to the same dongle.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. The MX mechanical keyboard uses the bolt dongle and the MX Master 3 uses the older USB version. You can use Bluetooth for one or both.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can pair the MX Mechanical with MX Master 3S with one LogiBolt dongle. MX Master 3 will need its own dongle unfortunately because it uses the old unifying USB dongle.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use both a keyboard and a mouse on the same receiver, as long as they both work with a Unifying receiver. You also have to have Options+ downloaded from Logitech's website.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
