USB receiver
Plug-in signal catcher
A USB receiver is a small wireless adapter that plugs into a computer's USB port to communicate with peripheral devices like mice, keyboards, or headsets.
The receiver picks up radio signals from the paired device, eliminating the need for cables.
Most are compact enough to leave plugged in permanently: I lost the USB receiver for my wireless mouse and had to buy a new one.
