Purchasing New Dongle for Mamba Wireless?

Hello, I’ve had the Mamba wireless for a while now, and I love this mouse. I have many memories with it, and despite the every-now-and-then double clicking (I remember the cause of this vividly), I do not want to give it up yet.

Recently, was powering down my laptop, and I went to remove the wireless dongle from the USB slot. To my despair, it literally just completely fell apart with plastic shards all over the place, and I had to scoop out some remaining plastic from inside my laptop’s USB slot. The transceiver still worked, though, and I was able to use it by gluing the metal USB frame to the one remaining vital green plastic prop which sits deepest inside the laptop port. I would fidget with the transceiver until I finally fit it between the plastic and the laptop contacts. 

I was trying to rig a small paperclip handle to the metal frame to pull it out easier, since it would require pliers to pull it out, and I still wanted the USB port to be useable by other devices. I was trying to do some eyeball measurements, and had the transceiver plugged in while my shaky hands tested some paperclip positionings. I must’ve ended up haphazardly shorted something prodding with the paperclip, as a small plume of smoke billowed out, and I immediately removed the bare transceiver. Thankfully, the USB port on my laptop still works, but the transceiver is most definitely fried. I do not have the equipment to scan the transceiver for the dead component. 

All this yapping to say: am I able to purchase a replacement wireless dongle? Additionally, if purchased, would I be able to pair it to my mouse? I found the pairing software, but it doesn’t have the Mamba listed as a pairable product. 

I would honestly be devastated to have to let this mouse go after all the years I’ve been using it, especially after the little bits of work I’ve put it in to keep it alive.

Thank you so much for your time, and I await your response.
