Seems easy but cannot pair using DPManager….
I’m trying to pair a Dell KM7120W Wireless Keyboard and Mouse to second pc with a Dell dongle in each pc
One Dell Laptop and One Pro Tower Have aDell Dongle in each pc
I can pair both keyboard and mouse to either pc on channel 1
How do connect to the other pc with dongle on a different channel?
I thought you needed a dongle on both pcs. Or is it that you can only pair on one pc with a dongle (channel 1) and you cannot connect via the other dongle to channel 2? Bluetooth only?
like my Logitech Master Mice?☹️🤔

Not sure you can do that with that kb/mouse set?
Wife had that set and I can't see a way to do that without moving the Dongle?
I do have a Logitech set, KB is KB850 and Mouse is M720. KB has white buttons, 1, 2, and 3. Mouse has a side button that selects 1, 2, or 3. However, those keys either connect via Bluetooth (like my iPad) or to a different Dongle.

I thought you needed two dongles (al la Logitech) one for each pc. So I bought one !
simply put you can only pair channel 1 to the dongle No way to select a different channel from the keyboard mouse
seems very weird. Anyway I will put the second dongle away and just use Bluetooth I guess 🤷♂️🤓 Thanks for everything and if I am wrong…let me know😵💫

I don't have any of that, but I wanted to mention ...
I've found that a Bluetooth (mouse or headset) can only be paired with one laptop-or-device at a time. If you pair with a new (second) one, it will work. However, when you go back to the first one ... it won't work until you do a full re-pairing.
I think it's a Bluetooth limitation or possibly even a security feature.
