Hello. Can I buy a USB adapter for the X200 computer mouse separately? I accidentally broke my adapter when I opened the computer case.

added:

I found a Link-5 adapter for sale at a local flea market. Will I be able to connect my X200 mouse to the Link-5 adapter?

added

I bought the X200 computer mouse officially in the store. When I try to register this product, the HP website says that the serial number is incorrect. I am attaching a photo of the mouse I bought, the adapter I broke, the receipt and the packaging. I really hope that the support service will not ignore my questions and will give answers to them.

Hi @DriverFirst,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd be glad to help you! 

 

Unfortunately, the HP X200 wireless mouse comes pre-paired with its original 2.4GHz USB receiver, and HP does not sell replacement receivers separately. The mouse cannot be re-paired to a different adapter, including the HP Link-5 adapter, since the X200 does not support Link-5 technology.

 

Consider a new wireless mouse

  • If you can’t find an original adapter, your best option is to buy a new HP X200 mouse or another HP model.

Use a Bluetooth mouse (if your laptop supports it)

  • If your computer has Bluetooth, switching to a Bluetooth mouse will eliminate the need for a USB adapter altogether.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance

And if I get the same USB micro receiver from the same X200 mouse, will I be able to connect my mouse to the receiver from another mouse?

Hi @DriverFirst 

 

I am afraid it wont work as they are coded to each other, as they are unique to each other like a key to the car. Cant swap with another one with the same make and model.


The only other option is to buy a new one altogether.

 

If this solution hits the spot, please come back and click "Accepted Solution" to help others find the answer. And if you'd like to say thanks, select "Yes" on the bottom left of the public post, as that would make our day! 

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
