No Usb needed However this is not too reliable maybe a different brand may work.

No. It comes with 2 USB cables, 1 for power and the other to the connection.

Yes, you need a portable modem with an USB plug. Dongle is where this device goes.

the device you are wanting to plug it into will need to have a USB port in order to work with the device

Yes it comes with the power cable that plugs into a usb 2.0 slot. USB 3.0 needs extra power to function like it should. It will work without the extra power, but it won't give u true 3.0 performance.

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.

No external power required. Only needs a USB port with enough power. Most standard USB 3 ports should be adequate.

I'm not the seller, sorry. I'd suggest looking up some installation guides because it can be a little tricky I had to buy a powered USB hub when I got mine.

There are one cable USB to an -Mini USB ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#MINI ) in the packet. Its Powered by the USB, no need for extra power.

The power cord for the unit requires USB, so yes, you do need usb. You can get a usb adapter to plug into the wall and then plug the usb power cord into the adapter.

Nope - it has it's own wireless dongle, BI-EXTGB02, which is not a USB connection. The BI-EXTBGN is a USB plug device.

Yes, you can use that cable, but the cable is already included in the package, along with a power brick.

I have a mac, so I needed a dongle (macspeak), but the other cable was included.

The unit comes with a power adapter but you don't need to use it. I have a ext HD, wireless mouse/ keyboard combo controller and my UPS USB cable hooked up to it without the power adapter plugged in.

Yes. I have a bluetooth in my desktop system and it works with that too. No dongle needed.

I don't use a dongle, but if you have a bluetooth version 3.0 dongle, that should work.

Yes, it is an upgrade from LE and AI, and, No, it does not come with a USB dongle. Thanks.
