Quick answer
No, they won't pair across. Logitech says Logi Bolt devices are not compatible with Unifying USB receivers, and Unifying devices are not compatible with Logi Bolt USB receivers. If you have one of each, you need both receivers.
What pairs with what
| Device | Unifying receiver | Logi Bolt receiver |
|---|---|---|
| Unifying mouse or keyboard (orange star logo) | Yes, up to 6 per receiver | No |
| Logi Bolt mouse or keyboard (Bolt logo) | No | Yes, up to 6 per receiver |
Running both on one computer
Logitech says you can use Unifying and Logi Bolt products together on one computer if it has two free USB-A ports. Its tip: plug in the Logi Bolt receiver first, then power on your Logi Bolt device, so it gets the security Logi Bolt offers with its own receiver.
Why they don't mix
They use different wireless technology. Logitech describes Unifying as a proprietary 2.4 GHz protocol it developed, and Logi Bolt as based on Bluetooth Low Energy.
Check your device
Logitech says to look for the logo on the bottom of the device, the side that rests on the desk. Its setup guide describes the Unifying logo as an orange six-point star.
