Logitech Unifying Receiver Problems

[Shlazor]

Although I am new to unRAID and VMs, I have a big machine with a brand new Intel Coffee Lake processor and 32 GB RAM.  I built a Windows 10 Pro VM with a USB 3 card passed thru and an EVGA 1070 passed thru.  Almost everything is working fine. The Logitech Unifying Receiver for my wireless mouse and keyboard is plugged into the 4 Port USB 3 card that is passed thru.  Plug and play is working just fine on the card.  I plug in a flash drive and it is instantly recognized.  My bluetooth dongle works perfectly as do a wired keyboard and mouse.  The Logitech Unifying Receiver was recognized and installed fine.  I installed the Logitech Unifying Software and the mouse and keyboard (both Logitech) paired no problem at all.  However, they run so slowly and laggy that they are useless.

 

Did I miss a step somewhere?

 

Below are my IOMMU Groups: (It is 13 that is passed thru)

Those are USB 3 interference 2.4G issue.

You can minimize the problem by a extend cable with RF chock.

Thanks for the response! Do you think it is the Logitech Unifyer Receiver or the Bluetooth dongle?

[Vr2Io]

This is for Logitech Unifying receiver.

[Shlazor]

Thanks!!!!  Ordered a cable with choke.  Try that next.

[Vr2Io]

👍

[Shlazor]

That was it!  How in the world did you know that.  I have used Logitech Unifying Receivers for over 5 years with no problems whatsoever until this.  Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vr2Io]

Because I suffer this problem too, I also use several yrs without problem. Believe or not I can't found any solution on internet, just think myself and try out for fix.

Could either of you point me towards a cable you're using? Somehow I'm not having any success finding one (only USB A to B, not USB A male to female), and I think I'm having the same issue as you.

[Shlazor]

I bought these and they instantly did the trick:

Please let us know if it works for you!

I used the basic usb extender that comes with some Logitech devices and it also worked. I coiled it so it only moved the USB receiver maybe three inches. It also doesn't have the choke. But for some unknown reason it does the job.

[Vr2Io]

Use extend cable make away from the port also can minimize the interference, but with RF chock would have lot better result.

[Shlazor]

The chokes are cheap.  If Amazon delivers to your area, my links above get you the parts I bought and it worked perfectly.

[sempervirens]

I got a 3-meter extension plus some chokes, and it's working great! now on to the next problem
