Wireless Mouse and Keyboard For XPS 200

This may sound stupid - but - help would be appreciated.
 
I have a brand new XPS 200 and was about to install a cordless mouse and keyboard. Much to my surprise, there were no "old-type" keyboard and mouse connections on the machine.
 
So, (1) can I use a USB port, and (2) is it necessary for both mouse and keyboard connections on the receiver to be plugged in?
 
I told you it was stupid.
 
Thank you.

    If your reciever has separate mouse and keyboard connectors, yes, they both need to be connected. You could get PS2 to USB adapters for both, but they could be too big to go side by side. A better option would be an adapter made for this purpose that combines both mouse and keyboard into a single USB plug. Something along the lines of:
