    Borrow a dongle;  turn off computer;  plug in dongle; take battery out of mouse; turn on computer; ........ put battery in mouse, place it near dongle.

    Mouse should find dongle, make friend with it, work as intended.

    If works, (it did for me) purchase a handful of dongles on ebay.

    Welcome to the Dell Community  @Vabesh 

    The only reason to have a "Dongle" is if your laptop does not have bluetooth.

    If your laptop does not have bluetooth then you will need to purchase/borrow a dongle.

    Computers that have bluetooth should be able to link/pair to most keyboards, mice, headsets, speakers etc

    Best regards,

    Hi,
    My laptop does have a Bluetooth, but I am unable to use Bluetooth keyboard and a mouse at the same time I have to turn off one to sue the other. And in some rare cases I am able to connect both of them. But If I shut down myu laptop or put it to sleep mode then again same issue. Anyone who faced the same issue and found any solution. I have lost my Dongle as well - Model dell ms5320wt
