Solaar only supports Logitech receivers and devices that use the Logitech proprietary HID++ protocol.
Solaar supports most Logitech Nano, Unifying, and Bolt receivers. Solaar supports some Lightspeed receivers. See the receiver table below for the list of currently supported receivers.
Solaar supports all Logitech devices (keyboards, mice, trackballs, touchpads, and headsets) that can connect to supported receivers. Solaar supports all Logitech devices that can connect via a USB cable or via Bluetooth, as long as the device uses the HID++ protocol.
The best way to determine whether Solaar supports a device is to run Solaar while the device is connected. If the device is supported, it will show up in the Solaar main window.
The directory https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar/tree/master/docs/devices contains edited output
of solaar show on many devices and can be used to see what Solaar can do with the device.
Some old Logitech devices use an old version of HID++. For Solaar to support these devices well, Solaar needs some information about them.
If you have an old Logitech device that shows up in Solaar but has no settings and you feel that Solaar should be able to do more with the device you can open an enhancement request for Solaar to better support the device.
Adding a new receiver requires knowing whether the receiver is a regular
Unifying receiver, a Nano receiver, a Bolt receiver, or a Lightspeed receiver.
This can generally be found using lsusb.
To add a new receiver to the Solaar code
add a line to ../lib/logitech_receiver/base_usb.py defining the receiver as one of these.
If the receiver has an unusual number of pairing slots, then this also needs
to be specified. Then add the receiver to the tuple of receivers (ALL).

Some Nano receivers are only partly supported as they do not implement the full HID++ 1.0 protocol. Some Nano receivers are not supported as they do not implement the HID++ protocol at all. Receivers with USB ID 046d:c542 fall into this category.
The receiver with USB ID 046d:c517 is an old 27 MHz receiver, supporting only a subset of the HID++ 1.0 protocol. Only hardware pairing is supported.
The device tables below provide a list of some of the devices that Solaar supports, giving their product name, WPID product number, and HID++ protocol information. The tables concentrate on older devices that have explicit support information in Solaar and are not being updated for new devices that are supported by Solaar.
Note that Logitech has the annoying habit of reusing Device names (e.g., M185) so what is important for support is the USB WPID or Bluetooth model ID.
