Can this mouse be plugged directly into the computer as well?

No, there is no USB cord. You plug the included "dongle" into the USB port and use it wirelessly. In fact, I'm using it right now.

No, it is wireless only so it will always be running on a single AA battery.So if you are not going to be at a mobile workstation, it's better to use a regular wired mouse to save money on batteries.

Yes you can. I use a wireless mouse with it all the time but there are only three USB plugs

This mouse should require no setup. Just plug the wireless USB adapter into your computer and it should be ready to use in a matter of seconds.

Yes, you can use this as a mouse for your computer. Hope this helps. Thank you.

No, it's not a wireless mouse. Just plug it into a USB port and it should be good to go.

Inside the mouse battery compartment is a small wireless receiver that needs to be plugged into the computer's USB port. They seem to have left this important info out of the instructions, but once you do that and put in the batteries, it should work fine (the mouse has an on-off switch on the bottom also).

I've got mine plugged into my computer via the USB and that works fine. If you have a computer handy you can do the same.

Certainly, you just turn off the wireless mouse with the power button on the bottom of the mouse. Then plug in any other mouse that you want into the computer.

Yes, just plug it into a USB port, or buy a wireless mouse that has the piece that plugs into your computer. It is sort of like having a touchscreen and a track-pad like most Windows8 laptops have. It does require a separate USB port on the computer...

No. USB connection. Haven't used either. Had my own mouse and KB (USB connected).

No, there's one USB plug that works both the mouse and keyboard. It clips to the back of the mouse when you're not using it.

No, you can plug it directly into your computer however this is very handy to have. Only thing that stinks is that you can't see if its charging or not because the screen faces the wall. Anyway, I'd still buy it again.

You can use the same cable for the mouse. I have an extra cable plugged into my computer just in case I need to recharge both the mouse and keyboard at the same time. For as inexpensive as they are, it is worth buying an extra cable.

I have not tried it, but I have used the USB ports with thumb drives and external hard drives so I would imagine a mouse would work just fine.

The Microsoft Optical mouse is indeed plug and play. It is not wireless but plugs into any USB port on your computer. It has a left and a right button with a scroll wheel in the center and fits my hand very comfortably. It does what a mouse should do and does it well.

As long as there is a USB port inside of your PC/ laptop you're fine. For example if you have a MacBook, which has no USB ports, then this mouse won't be compatible with it. There is a USB "cable" that is about an inch long and you plug it into your PC/laptop's USB port which makes your mouse wireless. I hope this helps!

I believe so, it has 1 external USB port. In the computer settings you can add devices which include mouse options.
