Solaar

Supported receivers and devices

Solaar only supports Logitech receivers and devices that use the Logitech proprietary HID++ protocol.

Solaar supports most Logitech Nano and Unifying receivers. Solaar supports some Lightspeed receivers. Solaar does not currently support Bolt receivers. See the receiver table below for the list of currently supported receivers.

Solaar supports most recent and many older Logitech devices (keyboards, mice, trackballs, and touchpads) that can connect to supported receivers. Solaar supports many recent Logitech devices that can connect via a USB cable, but some such Logitech devices are not suited for use in Solaar because they do not use the HID++ protocol. One example is the MX518 Gaming Mouse. Solaar supports most recent Logitech devices that can connect via Bluetooth.

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.

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. If it is not, and there is no issue about the device in the Solaar GitHub repository, open an enhancement issue requesting that it be supported.

Adding new receivers and devices

Adding a new receiver requires knowing whether the receiver is a regular Unifying receiver, a Nano receiver, or a Lightspeed receiver. 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).

Most new devices do not need to be known to Solaar to work. However, an entry in lib/logitech-receiver/descriptors.py can provide a better name for the device and a feature list can speed up Solaar startup a bit. The arguments to the _D function are the device’s long name, its short name (codename), its HID++ protocol version, its wireless product ID (wpid), and a tuple of known feature settings (from lib/logitech/settings_templates.py). If the device can connect via a USB cable its USB product ID should be included. If the device can connect via Bluetooth its Bluetooth product ID should be included.

If a USB device connects via a USB interface other than the default, add that information. This is the main reason for new devices that use the HID++ protocol to need support information in Solaar.

Some Nano receivers are only partly supported as they do not fully implement the full HID++ 1.0 protocol. Some Nano receivers are not supported at all as they do not implement the HID++ protocol. 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 subset of HID++ 1.0 protocol. Only hardware pairing is supported.
