[SOLVED] Is it possible to turn a USB input into a wireless signal that can be picked up by a USB receiver?

[torracat33]

I have a wired mouse, and am wondering if there is a small device I can plug it into that will make it like a wireless mouse.
So like it would have a USB female port, and take that signal and send it to a little USB male receiver that I plug into my computer
Its a really cool mouse that has this bug in some clear stuff it and lights up all rainbow colors so I wanna use it instead of just an ordinary wireless mouse

Do these exist? Or should I just reassemble my mice and stick with the wired one?

Yes. You can find these types of connectors on Amazon. Although I hope you're not planning on playing any FPS games as these aren't made for such speedy responses.

What you're looking for is called "Wireless USB Bridge", and while there were some products in the past claiming to work, you won't find anything new these days.

Where on Amazon can I find these?

You type what you're looking for in the search bar on Amazon's website of course.

I'm asking what to type in the search bar to find it

So let's say you plug this wireless thing into your wired mouse, you will still have the wire coming out of the mouse. So what is really the point of doing this instead of just connecting the wire to the computer? You won't be getting rid of the cable so it's still there dangling in the way.

I might be able to cut the wire and re-soder it so that it is shorter
I could tie up the wire, as my main problem is the wire getting caught on my desk.
I could prank a friend

Even if it doesn't work how I want it to, it won't hurt to try.

If the wire is getting caught, you can use a mouse wire holder (they actually make those specifically) or use a small hook like I do https://www.amazon.com/Command-Hooks-Value-18-Hooks-17006CLR-18ES/dp/B0084M67P8?th=1
