USB C wireless Mice?

[Andeh1]

Just got a new Laptop for work, a Dell 5560....only to find it doesn't come with any USB A ports, only USB C.

No problems I thought, ill buy a USB C receiver for my favourite & fairly new Logitech mouse....only to find they don't sell any USB C wireless mice? They wont answer me why, only show a USB A to USB C adapter, which defeats the point of having a nice super slim USB A receiver that can be left plugged in 24/7.

USB C has been around for donkeys...so why would this be? Is there a technical, power, signal, receiver limitations or just Logitech laziness & cheapness? It has really annoyed me as my MX mouse wasn't cheap!!

Do you need the dongle? My MX has bluetooth, presumably the laptop also does?

I could imagine antenna size issues. Certainly the full size MX Master mice have Bluetooth...

I've had an mx anywhere paired to my 5560 for the past year and it's been faultless so shouldn't be an issue binning the dongle. My laptop came with a Dell dongle to add USB A and HDMI if pairing isn't an option.

This would be my thought. What are the chances of any laptop with USB-C ports not having Bluetooth, presumably unlike some older desktops that might only have USB-A and no Bluetooth?

You could make your own, but it's not pretty:

Plenty of options at Jeff's shop (and presumably elsewhere). Such as this

Other’s mileage may vary, but my Mx mouse and my Mx keyboard refused to connect via Bluetooth at the same time, almost like they were interfering with one another. However both are happy to connect and work via one dongle plugged into my USB A port.

But if OP has just one device to connect, bt would be my solution too.
