Lost USB BlueTooth Dongle for Keyboard and Mouse

bluetoothdonglekeyboardmouseusb

I lost my USB bluetooth dongle (from HP) which I used for a wireless keyboard and mouse.
They came together in a set when I bought my last HP computer.

Are the keyboard and mouse useless now? or will any bluetooth dongle allow them to work?
If I can just buy a new one – any recommendations on a replacement (good price, and perhaps works with Windows and Ubuntu out-of-the-box?

Forgive me if this is an easy question. I'm just not that familiar with wireless mice/keyboards.

Best Answer

I would have thought that any Bluetooth dongle would work. It's the software/driver that reads the Bluetooth data that's important.
