Learn how to streamline your productivity with a multi-device keyboard and mouse combo using Logitech Flow. Step-by-step setup tips, device switching, and product recommendations.

In today's fast-paced digital world, many of us juggle multiple devices—a laptop for work, a desktop for creative projects, and perhaps a tablet for note-taking. Switching between keyboards and mice can be a productivity killer, breaking your flow and wasting precious seconds. A multi-device keyboard and mouse combo from Logitech solves this problem elegantly, allowing you to control up to three devices with a single keyboard and mouse, and even transfer files between them using Logitech Flow. In this 2025 guide, we'll walk you through setting up a seamless multi-device workflow with Logitech peripherals, covering everything from pairing to advanced tips. Whether you're a remote worker, a creative professional, or a student, this guide will help you maximize efficiency.

Why Choose a Multi-Device Keyboard and Mouse Combo?

Using a dedicated keyboard and mouse for each device clogs your desk and drains your focus. A multi-device keyboard like the Pebble Keys 2 K380s - Tonal Graphite - English US (QWERTY) and a multi-device mouse like the MX Anywhere 3S - Graphite let you pair with up to three devices via Bluetooth or the Logitech Unifying receiver. You can switch between devices instantly by pressing a button or moving the mouse across screens. This reduces clutter, saves time, and maintains muscle memory across devices—no more fumbling with different layouts or DPI settings.

What You Need for a Multi-Device Workflow

Hardware Requirements

Software Setup

Logitech Options+ is the backbone of the multi-device experience. It enables Logitech Flow technology, which allows you to move your mouse cursor between computers as if they were one large screen. You can even copy-paste text, images, and files across devices. Install Options+ on each computer you want to link, and ensure all devices are on the same network (Wi-Fi or LAN) for Flow to work.

Step-by-Step Setup for Logitech Flow

Step 1: Pair Your Keyboard and Mouse with Each Device

For the Pebble Keys 2 K380s, press the Easy-Switch button (numbered 1, 2, or 3) to select the device channel, then pair via Bluetooth. For the MX Anywhere 3S, press the device-switch button on the bottom. Repeat for each device. You can pair up to three devices per peripheral.

Step 2: Install Logitech Options+

Download and install Logitech Options+ on each computer. Open the app and ensure your keyboard and mouse are detected. If you're using a Unifying receiver, you can pair multiple devices to one receiver for a stronger connection.

Step 3: Enable Logitech Flow

In Options+, go to the Flow tab. Click "Enable Flow" and follow the prompts to link your computers. You'll need to enter a security code on both machines. Once linked, your mouse cursor will teleport between screens when you move it to the edge. The keyboard automatically follows the cursor's device.

Step 4: Customize Button Assignments

Use Options+ to assign shortcuts to mouse buttons or keyboard keys. For example, set the gesture button on the MX Anywhere 3S to open mission control or switch workspaces. This enhances your productivity setup and reduces repetitive movements.

Best Practices for a Seamless Multi-Device Experience

  • Use the same Logitech Flow network: Ensure all computers are on the same Wi-Fi or Ethernet network for low-latency file transfer.
  • Label your Easy-Switch channels: Use colored stickers or the Options+ app to remember which channel corresponds to which device.
  • Keep peripherals charged: The MX Anywhere 3S comes with a USB-C rechargeable battery that lasts up to 70 days. The Pebble Keys 2 K380s uses two AAA batteries for up to 24 months. Check battery levels in Options+.
  • Optimize display arrangement: In Options+, drag and drop your computer icons to match their physical position on your desk. This makes cursor movement intuitive.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

IssueSolution
Flow not detecting second computerEnsure both computers are on the same network and you've entered the security code correctly. Restart Flow in Options+.
Keyboard not switching devicesPress the Easy-Switch button on the keyboard. If it doesn't respond, re-pair the device via Bluetooth.
Mouse cursor jumps erraticallyAdjust the display arrangement in Options+ Flow settings. Ensure no other mouse software is interfering.
File transfer slowUse a wired Ethernet connection for faster speeds. Flow file transfer is limited by your network bandwidth.

Why Pebble Keys 2 K380s and MX Anywhere 3S Are a Great Combo

The Pebble Keys 2 K380s offers a compact, quiet typing experience with a built-in numeric keypad (optional model) and dedicated emoji key. Its round, low-profile keys make it comfortable for long typing sessions. Paired with the MX Anywhere 3S, which features Darkfield 8000 DPI tracking on any surface (even glass), you get a powerful duo that fits in any bag. The MX Anywhere 3S also has a MagSpeed electromagnetic scroll wheel for precise scrolling—ideal for spreadsheets or long documents. Together, they form a reliable keyboard mouse combo that handles up to three devices with ease.

Alternatives for Different Needs

If you prefer a thinner, travel-friendly keyboard, consider the Keys-To-Go 2 - Graphite - English US (QWERTY). It's ultra-slim and perfect for tablets or mobile workstations. For creative professionals, the MX Creative Console - Pale Grey offers customizable dials and buttons for Adobe apps. And if you're a gamer, the PRO X - Black gaming headset (with Blue VO!CE technology) complements a multi-device setup for voice chat and audio.
