I can't use them at the same time however, since the shape of the dongle protrudes on the sides, not allowing me to physically plug in the other USB for the wireless mouse (about the size of a typical flash drive), so I can't use PT and a mouse at the same time. Fail.
How dare you last few posters come in here and explain how dongles are not ideal for your particular recording setups in a reasonable & adult manner!

Where are the comparisons to Jim Crow laws?
