Re: Logitech MX Products are incompatible with AirPods
#2If you buy a bluetooth mouse (and seemingly keyboard) from a company known for their bluetooth peripherals they will not be compatible with the single most popular peripheral in the world. I'm shocked this has gone on this long.

#3To summarize: If you use a Logitech bluetooth device, it creates enough interference that high-bandwidth products like the Airpods will not function correctly.
If you switch the Logitech device to use their "unifying" adapter, which doesn't use bluetooth but a different proprietary wireless protocol, the problem goes away.
Logitech acknowledged the problem about six months ago but thus far have deflected any further questions about a fix.

#5I encourage only US owners of both the defective Logitech products and of AirPods, to write a complaint to the FCC reporting the problem as you experience it and asking the FCC to respond.

#6Aside: If there's anybody on here who can get me in touch with somebody who works with the software driving Logtitech's Mevo camera products I'd really love to talk to them.
I've run into a bug that continues to exist in the most recent version of the iOS app for these cameras that I have to work around using Mitmproxy. The app won't "go live" because whatever it's doing to detect an "Internet connection" is failing on a network I use. Adding Mitmproxy to the mix, paradoxically, solves the problem.
I'd love to pull packet traces, run debug builds of the app, etc, to help fix the problem. I can't be the only one having the problem. The devices suit my purposes well but I hate having to stick one more moving part into the mix just to get them to work.

They're probably staying silent because here in Canada at least, this could be violating federal laws. I must assume this is also true of the USA, which is usually quite comparable in these areas.

It’s annoying they still don’t make a usb-c unifying receiver.

#9What's the problem of Logitech with Bluetooth?
Unrelated to this issue, I bought a Bluetooth audio-to-analog out dongle to stream to my speakers, only to find out that I could not disconnect any paired device from it. It automatically connected to any paired device if the other device's Bluetooth is on. The moment I forcefully disconnect it forcefully connected again. I searched the web to see others' exact same issue and Logitech was shamelessly marketing this stupid bug as a "feature" that "keeps devices connected" with no way to disable it.
I've quit using it, and never, ever recommended any Logitech product again to anybody.
