never heard of a laptop without usb ports. maybe all type-c but there should be at least one or two. only other option without usb is if it has a wifi card with integrated bluetooth. in some cases, you can swap that wifi card with one that does. Answer from msanangelo on reddit.com

r/computers on Reddit: Can you add a Bluetooth mouse to a laptop that does not have a USB port??
December 21, 2023 -

My daughter wants a mouse so she can player games on her laptop, but the laptop does not have a USB port (that I'm aware about.) I'll try to find out what type of Gateway it is exactly. I know it's a gaming laptop. I spent about $600 but it was refurbished. Brand new it was listed at like $1200 but I understand that means nothing

EDIT: So this post shows how little I know about computers in general!!. I guess I t should have a usb port?! I'll grab a regular wireless mouse. Thank you for everyone's help.!!

Wireless Mouse Without USB Receiver - Best Buy
Guaranteed by HP.See all Mice ... "Wireless Mouse...Simple compact wireless mouse with a nice design....With this specific mouse here, the difference is that it’s wireless via a usb receiver; usb a plug in type and it’s included with the mouse and it’s stored in this little compartment space for it when you lift the top mouse cover… and that this is the only wireless method of connecting the mouse; there’s no additional Bluetooth option here (just the on/off slider switch underneath the mouse) for pairing so the receiver must be kept secure with the mouse at all times or still in the usb port of the computer you’re to use it with.

December 7, 2021 -

Help me. I want a mouse which works without taking up a usb slot. Which means not a wired mouse nor a wireless mouse with dongle. Instead, I want a wireless mouse which connects via the computer's own Wi-Fi or bluetooth. Where can I find them?, and do these dongle-less mice have a special name?

PS: Don't even say trackpad. My PC's trackpad is a crime against technology.

Answer (1 of 6): A Bluetooth mouse never had a “little piece”. If you were using a (general purpose, not mouse-specific) USB Bluetooth transceiver, you can just buy a new one. But chances are that your computer already has Bluetooth capability built in. Most likely, you have a USB wireless ...

Answer (1 of 4): Did it come with a USB dongle? Try switching to another port. Have you tried to use it on another PC? Which OS are you using it with?
