I have lost the USB dongle to my short wireless keyboard. Can I get a replacement? Is there a universal USB dongle? Or is there some way I can get my keyboard operational again? Is there a cable I could buy that converts the keyboard to a wired one?

Its specs

It does not support 5-Link USB receiver therefore to cost to reprogram your keyboard (if available) would be higher than buying new set. I don't think vendors make universal receivers because just thinking one small room with say 20 staff and one machine accept signals from all 20 keyboards.
Hope this makes sense.

Hi
Many thanks for your response and the information. I understand your example. It is still unfortunate that universal dongles aren't available for use, as not everyone is in a group situation but have lost the dongle. What I saw when I searched the topic, this is a very common problem, as it's easy to lose such a small item when it was necessary to disconnect a wireless device.
Thanks again
