How to use a Dell Keyboard and Mouse Combo USB wireless receiver with your computer

 

Owners of Dell keyboard and mouse combo devices only require the use of one paired USB wireless receiver. Some keyboard and mouse combo sets have a USB wireless receiver that is stored in both the keyboard and the mouse. Only one Radio Frequency (RF) dongle must be connected to your computer to communicate with both input devices.
