Logitech R400 presenter - USB receiver stolen

[hallb15]

Somebody has removed the USB receiver for our Logitech R400 presenter from the PC that staff use in the hall for assemblies etc...

 

What puzzles me is that they left the presenter itself, and just took the USB receiver. The presenter has a laser pointer so I would have thought that would be a more attractive thing to take.

 

I don't suppose the opposite has happened to another Edugeeker and they now have a useless USB receiver that they want to donate to our school??

We have one of those (not to spare though) and I can sympathise totally.

You should be able to find a new one here: Spare Parts Store

Good luck

Here is a pic of the receiver so you can ensure you are ordering the right thing. Looks like they charge about £10 for a replacement for USB wireless receivers.

 

 

Apologies for the image quality, I only have a phone on me today and the writing is really small!

@Dos_Box That's brilliant, thanks!

We currently have six of these in the office [Kensington not Logitech] that have lost their partners. Some from our Main Hall and some from classrooms.

 

We have found, for Kensington at least, that the hand held sender and the receiver are uniquely paired: The receiver of one will not work with the sender of another. Is this just Kensington?

Correct a typo.

The Logitech spares shop sells the receivers online so they must be universal, and not paired with the original device. However, they cost £10 plus a staggering £8.95 for delivery so I might just leave it for now - its taken weeks for anyone to report that the presenter wasn't working so I doubt its used that much.

Typo!

The thief may have thought it was a memory stick. Have you tried putting out an email saying you've lost it? Include the blatant lie that it is a virus research stick and any attempt to use it will delete all of your files...

We've got a Kensington sitting on my desk without its partner too! Looks like it's doomed to die alone

Trouble is, I don't know exactly when this was but I'm sure whoever did it has already tried the USB receiver and found out that its useless. I've put out a general appeal and asked for it to be returned to one of the USB ports of the PC in question.
