I recently had my house broken into, and unfortunately, both my PC and the dongle for my wireless mouse were stolen. I'm wondering if there's any way I can replicate the dongle or use my mouse wirelessly without it. I do have another dongle from a different mouse—could I sync both mice to that frequency somehow? The mouse is a Redragon Cobra V2.

The compatibility really depends on the specific mouse model. Some mice are locked to their original dongle, while others can work with similar dongles if paired correctly. On the other hand, some dual-mode mice can connect via Bluetooth as well. You might want to check if the Redragon Cobra V2 supports these features.
Have you looked into the manufacturer's website? They might have solutions for replacing the dongle or using the mouse without it. Typically, you can find manuals or support information directly from them.
If it’s a Logitech mouse, you might have luck finding a new dongle on eBay or directly from Logitech, especially for older models. Otherwise, if it's from a brand like Microsoft, options may be pretty limited.
Unfortunately, most wireless mice are paired to their original dongle and don't support connection with other dongles. The only exceptions are brands like Logitech that offer universal dongles, allowing you to connect multiple devices to one dongle. If you lose the dongle, you can often purchase a replacement and pair it with your device.
Some mice do have both dongle and Bluetooth capabilities. It could be worth considering those options when buying a new mouse in the future, especially since I’ve seen plenty of dongle failures at my workplace.
