HP Pavilion All-in-One PC 24-ca1000i (4N599AV)

My Device

HP Pavilion 24-ca1000na Bundle AiO PC (6L2W3EA)

 

My keyboard has stopped working on my HP all in one device, I have a care pack. I just wanted to know whether I can purchase another keyboard and mouse from HP and use the dongle to attach it to the PC and if that would work? My current set don't have a dongle that came with the PC, so not really sure how they work! 

 

Cheers.

The usb dongle is actually a module that plugs into the motherboard.  See the image.

The downside of wireless keyboard and mouse is that they go through batteries so quickly. 

 

That is why I use a wired keyboard and mouse.
