Hello Everyone!
Short question: are there any such adapters on the market?
Long question:
I have an idea to hide my mouse's usb dongle somewhere inside my laptop, rather than it'll be sticking out. I have a MSI GT83 6RF laptop and Razer Deathadder v2 pro mouse.
I have a free slot, which might be suitable for that in it quite in interesting place:
which appears to be mSata, however the info is controversial. It says PCIe in Bios:
while it says Sata in datasheet I found for my motyherboard
I'm aware that combo interfaces exist, but I was unable to find any parameter in bios, that would allow me to swith modes, so I tend to think this is a mSata interface.
Now, i tried to search and found that there are mini-PCIe to USB 2.0 adapters exist for this matter:
Don't pay attention to blue connector color - it utilizes only 2.0 due to specifications =)
And they're quite cheap to buy - 1-2$, so it's really tempting to try that one, however what i wanted to ask:
P.S. doesn't really matter if it will be USB 3.0 or USB 2.0, but there is an official statement from Razer that it's better to use 2.0, for 3.0 may cause some interference with 2.4 mouse dongle.

- Will it work? =)
- Won't it break my laptop's motherboard if I try this combination?
