4. You left one thing out (besides solving it before the smarties here could). Is it wired or Bluetooth/whatever?

I lost mousing recently, and I really suspect that the mouse bound to a bluetooth ipad instead of the desktop.

Damn elves at work.

BELIEVE ME, I looked all over for wired keybaord and mouse, but the desired ones were all wireless.

You cannot get a lighted keyboard from Apple unless you buy a laptop. At my age, a lighted keyboard (i.e. dark mode) wins.

And I got a trackball "mouse" for most work. It just "moves less" as in not at all. Suits me.
