I am not aware of a limit to the number of bluetooth devices you can run on a laptop. There may be one, but I have never heard anyone meeting or exceeding it if that is the case.

As for which to get, if your laptop supports bluetooth, get the bluetooth (no USB transmitter stick). The USB stick (sometimes bigger than that) is simply a bluetooth transmitter...why get that, ify ou already have bluetooth? :D

Be sure to read the instructions when you get it in to figure out how to set it all up. Usually there is a reset/connect button on the mouse to get it all working. The one with the USB transmitter usually has a reset/connect button on the USB portion and one on the mouse.

You should be able to operate any bluetooth device using the bluetooth functionality of your laptop. The only consideration there is whether or not drivers are required for your laptop to "control" the device.

I can't imagine that it would be impossible. I believe there are several sales people doing this right now in my office.

I have had success connecting my bluetooth cellphone headset to my laptop, sa well as bluetooth headphones. I also have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected. I also have my bluetooth cellphone connected to my Uniden bluetooth enabled landline phone. My office is full of bluetooth stuff.
