Interesting.  That's got tiny down cold.  The mouse I don't need.  And
the price is a bit of an obstacle.  Basically, I am trying to beat a
$30 D-link DBT-120 bluetooth dongle.  We've measured the RF from it,
and it basically is a non-emitter in the way we are using it, but if
it actually *could not* emit 2.4 GHz that would be an improvement.  So
far, the leader is that Brando USB-to-IrDA dongle.  Either $10
(including shipping) from Hong Kong, or ~$20 from a domestic supplier.

I wonder if just the guts of a generic USB device are available
somewhere.  I don't mind soldering, but am slightly clueless about
what to solder where.
