New/Replacement dongle for keyboard/mouse

[RichW11]

Can I purchase a replacement dongle for my Envy AOI 27 b255qd keyboard/mouse? I would like to use them with another computer and upgrade my Envy with a back-lighted keyboard. Thanks.

@RichW11 , welcome to the forum.

I don't believe that HP sells dongles for their keyboards and mice.  However, you may want to see if you can find a universal dongle and contact the manufacturer's Tech Support to see if they can tell you if it will work with your HP keyboard and mouse.

Hi Old_Geekster!

I'll bet I'm older than you though. Maybe I should go as ancient geekster 

You are correct as I have found out from tech support. Would have to buy a new keyboard/mouse combo (with new dongle). Defeats the purpose. Next I try to find out the dongle/receiver interface (bluetooth, 2.4ghz, etc.) but that is for another day. Thanks for the reply and have a good day!

I am glad that HP Support confirmed what I told you.  I am the oldest volunteer Expert on the Forum at age 73 yoa.  I may have more white hair than you.

Well I will leave the "Geekster" title to you since you had it first  I too am 73 and think i still have some dark strands of hair remaining. My wife says no. Thanks again for responding and stay young at heart!

@RichW11, you are welcome.  I am a HP guy all of the way, but have to build one more gaming computer before I quit.  I am in the process of picking the components as I type.  Stay young at heart, also.
