I have the new MacBook Air....what cable/adapter do I need to buy so I can use my mouse that is not an Apple mouse

New MacBook Air only has USB-c/Thunderbolt 3 ports -- that will make the most common non-apple wireless mouse (usually use USB receiver) a challenge.

1. If you can live with dongle - USC-C --> USB by Apple, or a multi-ports adapter, or other choices, such as this.
2. By avoiding the dongle - you can find Bluetooth wireless mouse, such as this, or others.

You can by the camera connection kit. It comes with a female usb connections. Others have reported that keyboards and mice have worked.

I have not tried this personally.

I suggest you get a dock.

If you do not want to use up a usb-c port... You can get an adapter to convert your usb mouse to bluetooth. Keep in mind you need an external power source. One of the answers says get a usb battery pack.

a little crazy, but I wanted to see if it was possible.
