BUT i learned that you can not connect bluetooth dongles to a KVM unless you want to re-pair your devices every time you switch devices. So I ended up buying a 2.4ghz style keyboard and mouse that doesn't use blueooth to get something that works on a KVM switcher.
One thing that attracted me to this particular bluetooth dongle though was Windows 11 support and I can confirm the drivers are 100% windows 11 compatible.
