What kind of USB dongle does this use? I want to purchase a second one so I can use the mouse with a laptop on the go and the keyboard at work.

Hey there. It uses a Microsoft specific small dongle (same size as a Logitech specific one for their stuff). It is not a Bluetooth device so it will take a usb slot for the dongle. On the plus side, this dongle works perfectly and extremely quickly. Bluetooth keyboards often go to sleep and you have to start typing then wait for them to wake up to get them to work. Hope that helps.

There isn't a mouse with this keyboard, but it says 2.4GHZ. I'd bet it's proprietary.

The wireless keyboard comes with a usb dongle that you connect to a usb port. I have a logitech wireless mouse working with a logitech USB Dongle on my set. The dongle acts like bluetooth. My set immediately recognized the wireless mouse using the usb dongle (transmitter/receiver).

What operating system are you using? Mine was plug-n-play with Windows 7 Ultimate. I'd want to have the dongle plugged in before I turned the mouse on. In my case, it spent a few seconds doing something then said "new hardware recognized" and I was good to go. Anker site doesn't show any downloadable driver for this device; I suspect it's stored IN the device and transmitted over the USB connection once it's established.

I would suggest a USB port extender you can get these anywhere they sell accessories for your computer or laptop, that is if you having space issues the mouse having no cord has a USB that goes into the port and connects both the mouse and keyboard.

The USB dongle is well hidden on the underside of the mouse. Pull it out and plug into the port on your computer, add batteries and you should be good to go.

The one that works with the keyboard also works with the mouse. The other cable is an extender for the small usb stick. For example, if you only had a hard to reach USB port available, you could plug in the extender cable so that the usb stick could easily be retrieved.

Asus makes one too. I have one on another laptop and it's worked out well: ASUS USB-BT21 Bluetooth Dongle Adapter

This laptop has a total of 3 USB ports. Two of them are USB 3.0 located on the right side. And one USB 2.0 on the left side. I always have a mouse and a USB WiFi adapter plugged with no problem. I hope this helps you out!

I have a Logitech M310 mouse that I am using with this keyboard. However, the mouse will not pair with the HP keyboard dongle, so I am using 2 USB ports, one for the keyboard and one for the mouse. This configuration works perfectly. Since I have 4 USB ports on my laptop, using 2 for the mouse and keyboard is not an issue especially since I like the keyboard so much.

Buy the 360 for PC controller and it comes with the usb dongle. Can't use a regular 360 unit! Good news is that the range is awesome. I use Logitech's unifying receiver for my other peripherals and it barely works from 10 feet away. Not so with this dongle. Just get it.

Are you asking me if i will sell the USB adapter ? I'm sorry but I will not, my surface tablet has only 1 USB Input so the adapter is a bonus if i'm using the mouse because the mouse is paired with it's USB for my mouse to be connected wirelessly so the USB adapter has 2 input and I'll still have 1 more slot if I need to connect another one.

What you see is what you get: a wireless keyboard and mouse. The USB dongle which receives the keyboard and mouse commands plugs into one of the USB 2.0/1.1 ports on the rear of the screen unit, thereby freeing the side USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 ports for other purposes. The keyboard and mouse both use AA alkaline cells, for longer battery lifetime than would likely be possible if powered by AAA alkaline cells.

The dongle or wireless usb insert must be used in order for the Microsoft 5000 Mouse to be seen by your system. Just plug the small wireless atapter into any USB port and restart the Computer. Give it a monment or two for the drivers to be read, once your pointer moves it is installed. Ciao . . Sal

Not sure if I'm understanding the quiestion. I'm currently using only one USB for both the keyboard and mouse and it works just fine.

I'm using the unit with an old style tactile -feel keyboard and a USB mouse. Works flawlessly. As to your specific use, the only way is to contact the manufacturer of both pieces of equipment; or buy it and try it.

I am 90 % sure It had dongle, but bought for someone else and I don't have the product. It is an inexpensive keyboard- mouse combo, and so the quality is "ok" for light use.
