Worked flawlessly. Connected a mouse with missing receiver to a completely different receiver.

Solved all my problems with Logitech Master MX 3 mouse. Only missing part from Logitech's application is per app shortcuts.

What is Solaar?

Solaar is a Linux device manager for Logitech's Unifying, Lightspeed, and Nano receiver peripherals. It is able to pair/unpair devices with the receiver and for most devices show battery status. Solaar can also control some of the changeable features of the devices, such as smooth scrolling or function key behavior. Solaar does not work with Logitech peripherals that use Bluetooth or peripherals from other companies.

Solaar can be used as a GUI application or via its command-line interface. Both are able to list the devices paired to a Unifying Receiver, show detailed info for each device, and also pair/unpair supported devices with the receiver.

Solaar does not handle normal input from the peripherals. It is thus unable to fix problems that arise from incorrect handling of mouse movements or keycodes by Linux drivers or other software.
