laptop docking questions
I am buying a Dell D3100 docking station to link my work laptop with my HP 25" monitor that is already connected to my PC. I have questions about using the wireless mouse (Microsoft) and keyboard (Logitech) that are attached to the PC. Can I still use these peripherals when the laptop is docked and using the HP monitor for display? I don’t want to purchase another keyboard and mouse if it’s not necessary. Thank you in advance.
Simply link the keyboard and mouse to the dock rather than the laptop – that’s the essence of “docking.”
I prefer not to constantly disconnect and reconnect the wireless receiver units on my PC to the docking station each day.
If you're keen, Logitech offers a Craft wireless keyboard and mouse compatible with their system, supporting Bluetooth connections to three distinct devices. I own one on my work PC via a dongle, and also use it with my phone and laptop. It features three numbered keys that can be programmed to the device. A straightforward and refined solution for those willing to invest in a different keyboard type.
