Linux users can use [[fwupd]] to flash an updated firmware. It will automatically detect available updates for any connected unifying receivers and many other firmware updatable devices. An outdated alternative is ''MouseJack''.<ref name="mousejack"/>
For Linux users there are native options to flash and experiment with such as [[fwupd]] and ''MouseJack''.<ref name="mousejack"/> However, with these tools a separate firmware binary is still required. Flashing on a Linux host via a hypervisor such as [[VirtualBox]] along with a Windows virtual guest image and the Windows Logitech update executable is also possible. If using a Windows virtual guest, it is recommended to have a second available pointing device while the dongle is being updated. The second pointing device may be needed to allow the user to select and enable pass through of the unifying receiver via the hypervisor task bar after executing the firmware updater so that the device is found and updated.▼

Updating the Unifying receiver firmware to versions RQR12.08 or greater and RQR24.06 or greater can limit some functionality of certain paired devices unless the devices' firmware is also updated.
