    Free USB Extension Cable if You Own a Logitech Product

    Seems to be for wireless keyboard / mouse receivers only, not any Logitech product as your current title indicates.

    • leonheart1 on 08/02/2013 - 20:57

      Yeah that makes more sense.

  • PLANT on 08/02/2013 - 20:54

        They probably had some complaints over reception but ive used many logitech wireless devices and never had a problem. Even so, dont you guys have a couple of these laying around anyway? I know i do…

    when i submitted the thing, it came up with this :
    "Your request for a USB stand has been received and is being processed."
    so is it a stand or a cable?

    • kabigon on 08/02/2013 - 21:23

      Was a bit confused by the sudden change in terminology, seems to be a cable with more plastic that will stay steady on a flat surface..

    Thank You
    Your request for a USB stand has been received and is being processed.

    thanks OP. currently a wave keyboard and a trackball which both need there own receivers…. and only one stand…. bit of a PITA

    edit: for those who dont know what this is i imagine its one of these http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQykwA30EHApaZ6DrEKG… .

    same thing came with my wave, OP might pay to add this to your description

    • shaneb on 08/02/2013 - 21:53

      Download the Logitech Unifying (I think it may have another name) software. You can then pair either the keyboard or trackball to the same receiver. I have that combination at work.

      • NosDan on 08/02/2013 - 22:52

        damn you got me all excited there for a second. my wave (its actually a wave pro if that makes any difference) is years old, before they made the unifying stuff. just tried with the unifying software and it says my keyboard isnt compatible

        thanks anyway :)

    The irony of this deal, free cable if you own a wireless product!

    • lostn on 09/02/2013 - 01:20

      The cable is not for the mouse itself, it's for the receiver. If the receiver is blocked by your case, or some distance away the signal will be choppy.

      For me, if I have the receiver plugged into the back of my case, it's not very useable. That's where the USB extension comes in handy.

  • [Deactivated] on 08/02/2013 - 23:03

    Ive thrown 3 logitech wireless keyboard/mice combos in the bin in the last month. All purchased at the same time. Not going to buy their crap anymore, too much fails after 3/4 years.

  • supersabroso on 08/02/2013 - 23:37

    Bought my M950 from logitech shop however it only has a P/N no PID. That's interesting, maybe it's not a genuine logitech product or something?

    • gnrldd65 on 08/02/2013 - 23:44

      Did you open the battery compartment?

      • supersabroso on 09/02/2013 - 00:46

        Yeah, that's how I found the P/N number. Looked online, there is supposed to be a PID for the Performance MX mouse so yeah we'll see how that pans out as it's the Australian version, might not have one.

    • lostn on 09/02/2013 - 01:32

      I bought mine from there too, but I had all 3 numbers they needed.

      • lostn on 09/02/2013 - 01:23
        +2

        Actually, I agree with him. Who still has their receipts from 2-3 years ago?

        They could just ask for a serial number, which everyone has easy access to.

        • dvd107 on 09/02/2013 - 01:32
          +1

          You would think entering a P/N, M/N and PID (Serial) was enough. Requiring an additional receipt is excessive. For a cheap item like keyboard or mouse, who keeps the receipt after 2-3 years?

          The Original form does not stipulate the requirement to upload a receipt.

          "Simply fill out the form below and we’ll send you a USB extension cable."

          Cannot find anywhere on the site.

        • annoynimous on 09/02/2013 - 01:39

          I have uploaded my paypal receipt to see if they accept it as proof of purchase, was like 2 years ago from a legit online logitech store

          If it's Logitechshop, log into your account and all your purchases and invoices are there for viewing. I just took a screenshot of it and sent them the jpg.

          IMO, requiring a receipt is excessive. You've got 3 part numbers to give them, which presumably cannot be seen on the back of the box at some OW store (must look on hardware itself) so you can't just go submitting P/Ns for items you don't own. Or they could do a unique check and if someone else has submitted your number, you're not eligible.

          Anyway, I had 1 of 2 receipts so I should still get 1.

        • RocketSwitch on 09/02/2013 - 07:57

          Yeah, I agree with him. I still have my receipt, but it's part of a big order, don't want to upload that.

          I like companies who ask for some proof like 3 sets of numbers and that's it.

          Samsung and Namco are good like that.

          Rockstar terrible and sometimes Sony are. One time Rockstar asked for pictures of the product, receipt, pictures of individual items etc.

          I've kept every receipt for logitech products I've ever purchased. Doesn't help with warranty though because logitech are useless.

      I scan all receipts for electronic and household equipment so that I can keep trace of warranty info easily.

      • greenie4242 on 09/02/2013 - 12:59

        Me too. The slight inconvenience of scanning every receipt (I even do it for supermarket receipts) has paid off for me more often than not.

        I also scan the instruction manuals for things if they may be needed later on. Then if the manual is lost or damaged, there's a copy on the computer.

    Stupid question but: Are there USB2 and USB3 extensions, and can you use the USB2 extension for a USB3 harddrive wihout any loss in speed?

    • RocketSwitch on 09/02/2013 - 08:00

      Good question. I might upload my receipt after all.

    • noddypiper on 09/02/2013 - 08:15

      you need a specific USB 3 extension as you will not get the USB 3 speed with a USB 2 extension. Noddy.

    • soob on 09/02/2013 - 09:43

      USB3 is 8 wires, USB2 is 4 wires. USB3 is backwards compatible by making connection with half the wires so it can never be fully compatible with USB2 cables.

    So how hard would it of been to withdraw the offer before asking for another email for proof of purchase. I have dealt with logitech customer care before and the amount of hoops they made me jump to get a cheap faulty keyboard replaced was very petty for a large company like logitech. Ok products(mostly)but shit service.

    Getting my third MX5500 in the next couple of days :(

    The second randomly repeated MANY times.

    Asked for a refund but they sent ANOTHER MX5500 :(

    • NosDan on 09/02/2013 - 18:22

      is your receiver in direct line of sight with the mx5500? (not hidden behind the computer case or anything)

      ive had that exact issue and its always been caus the receiver isnt getting a strong enough signal, both with logitech and other branded 2.4ghz wireless stuff. if the receiver is close/line of sight its fine.

    For one I am disappointed in Logitech for not implementing a quantity limit on their web based form but rather letting users continuously submit their information to Logitech in hopes of receiving the promotional item.
