Chromebox Wireless Keyboard/Mouse
I was wondering whether the wireless keyboard and mouse for the HP Chromebox is bluetooth or does it use a dongle? How about the Asus?

Asus one has a little usb "dongle" that works nicely. It's black though so it's difficult to see the keys, so I just purchased this wireless logitech keyboard. My parents complain that they can't see the keys or the letters on the asus keyboard and they are lowercase so it's difficult to distinguish between the l and i especially in low light.
I purchased the asus i3 chromebox M075U from Amazon and it came with the keyboard/mouse

Thanks. I was assuming that it uses a wireless dongle but one reviewer referred to the mouse and keyboard as bluetooth. It doesn't make too big of a difference to me, I was just curious.

the keyboard and mouse work off of the same "dongle" so it leaves you with 3 leftover 3.0 usb ports.
The device itself does have bluetooth so if you want a bluetooth set-up you can use a mouse/keyboard that has it.

In my experience, "wireless" means it uses a dongle with keyboards and mice. HP would probably have it marketed as Bluetooth otherwise.

My question is similar: Is there a recommended wireless mouse that any of you use?
I just tried to use my Logitech wireless mouse and while it did connect and work, it would often stall or stop working for short periods of time.
I read online that Logitech is not compatible with Chrome OS, so I'm wondering if there is something that is especially good and better to use. Hell, I guess I could plug in a wired mouse if need be.
