can you plug in a mouse through a usb dongle?

I think you can. We have 2 of these tablets and plug in keyboards this way. Mouse should work the same I believe.

I use it for the USB dongle for my Logitech wireless mouse to get it out from behind a display connector also plugged into the side of my laptop, and improve its connectivity with the mouse. Works perfectly.

Unfortunately, the USB cable can only charge the mouse but not recognize it as a working mouse in the computer. You must need the USB dongle at the same time.

No, definitely not. I lost my USB receiver, and I researched it out for a definite answer. It is impossible to get another USB receiver that will speak the exact coded signal that your mouse is set to. The upside of this is we never have to worry that someone else in our office is going to inadvertently override our mouse signal, but the downside is that the mouse is forever useless without the unique USB receiver it is matched to.

I don't know but I cant see why not if you currently have a mouse plugged into it. It was no different than another mouse

At one end of the mouse it houses a USB receiver to plug into the computer. This makes a wifi connection for the mouse. Mine worked fine and allows me to move it around with all the wires.

Nope. Just plug in the USB (the little PC shown next to mouse ) and it does the rest for you! Super simple.

You should be able to plug it into any USB port on the computer. I did this for mine and it gives me a better connection between the mouse and receiver. If you have a destop computer I would suggest getting a short, at least enough cable to the computer, USB extension cable and run that to somewhere closer to your mouse and using it there.

Is the wifi usb the same dongle as for the sculpt mouse, or do I need to have two plugged into my laptop?

No. The adapter is great for extra USB memory. And because you have the adapter plugged in, you can plug in the adapter your wireless mouse. Hope this helps.

You should be able to plug anything into it that uses a USB plug. I have used this item since 2010 and am just purchasing this one as a spare. I absolutely love it. I have a wireless mouse and plug in the USB stick for the wireless mouse and it works perfectly. Go for it!!!

It requires a USB port to plug in the unifying receiver. Your notebook has USB ports, so it should work fine. My wife uses the mouse with her laptop (Windows 8) all the time.

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.

The mouse uses a standard-sized USB port. If your device has a port to accept the plug-in it should work just fine.

I've had mine for quite a while with various wireless mice and keyboards without a problem. I do not have the USB-dongle for my mouse and keyboard plugged into the USB ports in the monitor, however.

(1) no need for a dongle. (2) I bought this mouse on Amazon recently and it crapped out after a week of use. Good Luck.

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
