Yes. And it is more versatile than that. The Unifying Receiver is pre-programmed for this keyboard and mouse. But it is not specific to any computer. Plug it in anywhere, and your keyboard and mouse work with that device. The receiver can be reprogrammed to pair with other Logitech devices too. Download and run the Logitech Unifying Software on your laptop or PC to reprogram it (or program a spare Unifying Receiver). You can then use that receiver and its paired devices anywhere you wish. You can program a second receiver for the same keyboard and mouse. This is useful if you have a laptop and PC in different rooms and don't want a 2nd keyboard (or you want to prank your coworker in the next cubicle).
