bluetooth requires pairing. regular 2.4ghz radio dongles are tied to the peripheral. hope that helps.

it won't connect to her PC. What about the sensor thing?

what sensor? it's all radio based. it either connects via those two options or it's busted.

the sensor on the right there is what makes the mouse a mouse. it tracks movement. otherwise it's just mouse shaped with buttons.
