Would the mouse work if I plugged it into the USB port of my monitor instead of the computer USB?

I can't find any specs on power requirement, but there's nothing in the mouse that draws any significant amount of power. That said, it should work in any usb port, so the port on the monitor should be just fine. Depending on your operating system, the monitor usb port should usually be connected to a usb 2.0 port on the back of the computer so it will be active when the computer is first booting. If the port is connected to a usb port that isn't active early in the boot process, you won't be able to use it to make selections in the bios configuration. Otherwise, it's a great mouse and provides wonderful relief for those with wrist problems aggravated by a conventional mouse.

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

It probably depends on what you have plugged into it. Note that certain things won't work in this hub - I don't have a single mouse that will work when plugged into it, and mine is connected to the power supply. Call their customer service and I'm sure they'll be happy to assist (although I'm not sure about on a Sunday). Good luck, Claudio. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Yes. It's a USB mouse so works like any USB device. There should be NO drivers/software to install. Plug in the USB receiver (stores in the bottom of the mouse when not in use) and press the Connect button(s). To get full functionality you may want to install the IntelliPoint software from Microsoft. NOTE: There is a button in the slot where the USB receiver is stored. This button MAY GET 'stuck'. If the mouse fails to respond when the USB receiver is plugged into the computer, and the battery is known good, ensure this button is fully released.GL,Td

All you have to do to is plug your USB into the computer and view it on the monitor. Why do you want to plug the USB device directly into the monitor?

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.

the mouse works via a USB dongle you put in the computer or keyboard to connect it so as long as you have an empty port it should work

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.

Hi, Thank you for contacting customer service. This mouse will work as long as there is a usb port. We appreciate your support.

If the mouse has a USB Bluetooth transmitter, it should be fine, but the laptop does not appear to have built in Bluetooth or anything.

It should work when you plug your USB and click your mouse, or try to change your battery~

Yes, if you have a USB port open. I would stay with windows drivers as I have had issues with my mouse and deleting the logitec driver seems to help.

If you are asking whether you can buy the USB receiver only, I don't know. If you want to know if a USB receiver with mouse works, the answer is Yes. You plug the tiny USB receiver into a USB port on the computer, then push the "connect' button on the bottom of the mouse, and the mouse works.

It works the same as if the mouse was plugged in the computer. Nothing changes other than you are making one USB into 2.

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.

All that is required is a USB port for this to work. I also stood across the room, 20 feet, and the mouse still worked. I hope this helps!

I would say probably it's fairly common for usb mice to work with what ever computer. I'm not 100% but I would say yes it prolly will.

I haven't tried using the computer with a mouse but this computer has USB ports. I don't see why adding a mouse would be a problem.
