Hello,
i got Logitech LX710 keyboard, it seems like decent piece of HW, but i got it without receiver.

I have tried Logitek support to got replacement (no chance) also tried Logitech Unified receiver, but its not working.. there is some false advertiment about supporting older device.

So perhaps someone has some old one spared or know some 3rd party receiver which is working with it.

I also tried eBay, but i found it only in US, with huge shipping cost, which make no sense. So perhaps someone in Europe has one, especially from some office where you had multiple Logitech devices.

So this is my last try before it will end in trash bin, because im trying to not be hoarder.. and this is exactly typical case to avoid.. hoarding not working HW, which needs other hardware to use which is hard to get. Im trying to get it for like 5 or 7 years. I have to make similar posts for other HW..

Other good thing would be send it someone with receiver as backup keyboard or change it for some other working HW, im open to all such offers.

Im old goal oriented goatman, i care about facts and freedom, not about egos+prejudices. Hoarding=sickness. If you want respect, gain it by your behavior. I hate stupid SW limits, SW=virtual world, everything should be possible if you have enough raw HW.

The week after you throw it away the receiver will appear on eBay for 5 euros.

Is this too much voodoo?

It will, but with 50$ shipping 🙁 It seems that in USA is much HW available for sell, that in Europe.. But Europe have 2.5 bigger population and i dont even speak about Asia,
i also used to order quite a lot items from Autralia, which has tiny population in comparation. I other thing is Brexit, it also crippled by shopping opportunity a lot.

I wonder can someone from US, buy it for cheap and send it to me within simple envelope, without any insurance, maybe even tracking for cheap to Europe?
I can send money in advance its not problem.

I check some options and standart evenlope with some smal stuff means - First-Class Mail International - its from 1.5$, no nothing.

Problem is that vendors probably using - Priority Mail International - that is starting on 28$.. so with some additional packing, tracking and insurance, you pay ~40$ for even smallest things.

I wish if to have friend in USA to buy and ship me retro HW, because for some reason the most ebay shipping price to europe is non sense for small items.
