(same as the 2.4 gz RF devices) Which mouse? Do you not need a dongle with that mouse? Nope, it is blue tooth and connects right to the built in blue tooth on my Lenovo. There is a mating procedure in the blue tooth tab in control panel. I have become pretty partial to the Logitek "one dongle" 2.4 gz system tho. You can connect up to 6 devices to one dongle. That lets you have a keyboard, mouse and num pad in one port. I am not sure how you would have 6 of anything. The small form factor Logitek keyboard with a scratch pad is nice for packing tho. When you have your laptop connected to the big screen in the rental you can do everything from anywhere in the room. We still like the num pad for running the music. The house in North Carolina had speakers out on the deck from the entertainment center and by putting the dongle on a USB extension cable, on the window sill we could run the music from out there with the num pad. |

That might be worth checking out. Thanks. |
