How to replace a USB wireless mouse receiver in this case?


My mouse is quite good, but unfortunately the USB wireless receiver is as big as an adult's little finger (pinky). It breaks easily when the laptop is moved. I want a micro receiver and the company does not make those for my model of the mouse.


Okay, I already saw this question and it does not answer my question - Replacement for broken USB transceiver


I searched online and also called the company. I don't think there is a USB replacement for my brand of mouse. So, I have to buy the whole mouse just for the receiver.


Is there any way I could find out how this works and then use the receiver of another mouse by same company or different and then use it with my mouse ?


Thanks.



Answer



There are no universal RF wireless mouse/keyboard receivers, and a given company's RF wireless/mouse keyboard receiver will not work with another's.


You should get a small USB extender cable, and a length of velcro tape. Cut the velcro tape to fit on the back of the dongle, and find a good spot on the back of laptop lid to put the other half of the tape. This will prevent you from smashing it by accidentally scraping it against a surface.


It won't look too pretty but it'll prevent your dongle from getting broken.
