Overview

The Logitech Bolt USB Receiver (956-000008) is a small wireless dongle that provides a secure, high-performance connection between your computer and compatible Logitech Bolt peripherals. Built on Bluetooth Low Energy technology with added security layers, Logi Bolt was developed to address the needs of enterprise and security-conscious users who require encrypted wireless communication between their input devices and workstations. The receiver plugs into any USB-A port and pairs with Bolt-enabled mice and keyboards, supporting multiple devices on a single receiver.

With a wireless range of up to 10 meters, the Bolt receiver maintains a stable, non-interrupting connection even in environments crowded with wireless signals. Its compact form factor means it sits nearly flush with the USB port and can be left plugged in permanently without getting in the way. Whether you need a replacement for a lost receiver or want to use the same Bolt peripherals across multiple machines, this receiver is the essential link. Note that it is not backward-compatible with Logitech's older Unifying receiver ecosystem — only devices specifically built for Logi Bolt will connect.
