Are Logitech Wireless Devices 'Universal' ?

[svet-am]

I just bought a Logitech S510 Wireless Keyboard/Mouse/Remote set from NewEgg.com

Seen here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16823126181

Here's my problem, I followed the instructions in the manual and put all of the batteries in the devices (new ones of my own, not the included ones just to be safe) and then I plugged the little USB base station into the USB on my computer. Press the buttons to sync and ..... nothing. None of the devices ever 'activate' and begin controlling input.

I've tried troubleshooting by replacing batteries, trying different USB ports, and trying different computers.

I don't really like the little base station and I think that it's the defective part. The mouse, keyboard, and remote all appear to working correctly. So, my question is whether Logitech wireless devices are 'universal' in that I can use my wife's old Logitech base station. If I can use the base station we already have, then I won't bother going through all of the RMA crap with NewEgg.com

Those base stations do weird things with Windows drivers, so I thought I'd ask before trying it so that if it *doesnt* work, I don't have to deal with screwy drivers being installed for no reason.

thanks all!

I dont think they are universal, but then again Ive never tried.

I would make either Newegg or Logitech cross-ship you a new unit.
