[PLUG] Wireless keyboards

USB is hotplug, so you don't need to reboot.  What I would do would be
to get your dongles and your keyboards and mice and lay them all out.
Make sure the keyboards and mice have fresh batteries.  Plug the
dongles in one at a time and then try all the devices (press a key,
wiggle the mouse) until you find the one that is interacting, then
take out the dongle and put it with that thing (or label them, or
whatever association you prefer).

Good luck!
