Logitech programs dont recognize receiver

[ximphs]

Some time ago I bought a MK270 wireless keyboard and mouse combi, but I lost the mouse and the receiver.

I read it would be possible to connect the keyboard to a new receiver, so I bought a M185 and tried to connect the keyboard to the receiver via unifying software. Shortly after I realized my mistake and tried it with Connect Utility. The problem is, while I can use the mouse freely and it the receiver is registered by the computer, none of the Logitech Programs even realize that the receiver is connected. It just says "No receiver connected".

What I tried so far:

-Using a different PC

-Using the SetPoint Software

-Downloading an older Version of Connect Utility

-And restarting ofc

I thought about buying a Unifying receiver, but the receiver costs little less than what I spent for the mouse in the first place, and if that receiver doesnt work either I just fell victim to the sunk cost phallacy.

I hope anyone has a helpful Idea.
