No, you have to buy new keyboard and its USB receiver. You can buy a new set keyboard and mouse with one receiver. Old keyboard won't work with new receiver (unless it supports USB Link-5 receiver) because they use different code. Just thinking about one small room with 20 staff using same receiver for mice, must be very interesting.
Hope this makes sense.
