As somewhat of a retro '90’s-2000’s electronics collecting nerd, this stuff is the bane of my existence.
It seems like in the early 2000’s there were only three types of finishes applied to electronics products:
- TPE “soft touch” coatings that turn into snot after a few years (many game console controllers, binoculars and other optics, some portable tape/CD players, etc.)
- Crappy metallized silver paint that starts flaking off immediately (basically every digital camera ever made from 1999-2006, and quite a few computer input devices)
- White or Bondi Blue plastic under a clear acrylic layer trying to ape an early iMac or iPod, which gets dirt trapped between the layers and then turns yellow (the Nintendo 3DS Lite, innumerable computer mice, USB hubs, and knockoff MP3 players)
You just can’t win.
…Nnnnno, there is literally a tool from Logitech called “Logitech Unifying Software,” which is the applet you need to reassign a Logitech Unifying receiver to a different device.
