it is the mouse's receiver and they're paired to a specific frequency; if your mouse has a reset button for a receiver, it may be able to find a new receiver, but I've never seen the receivers sold by themselves. Think about it - if any mouse worked with any receiver, one mouse would be able to control all of the computer cursors within 15 or so feet in an office area.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think you're describing the tiny USB receiver which plugs into your PCs USB port and allows your mouse to communicate with the PC. They are small and convenient but I can't tell you if they are compatible with other similar devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I don't know the technical name for this tiny square piece or if it is interchangeable among all wireless mice, but it is the USB item that plugs into the computer and communicates with the mouse.
