Can I connect a wireless bluetooth dogel to my pc(D-Link DBT-120) and another different bluetooth dogel to a wired usb keyboard and have a wireless keyboard?

I seems possible, but the only problem i can think of is that the wireless dogel on the keyboard isn't getting any power, could i solder a battery kit to my keyboard usb power cable? (usb torn apart,strand of cable)

D-Link DBT-120 - The D-Link DBT-120 is a lightweight, 6-gram USB adapter meant to connect all types of wireless products in the everyday workspace, such as printers, cell phones and computers. These adapters are ideal for computers that don't support Bluetooth technology. They support networking, allowing files to be transferred from one device to a number of different computers on the same network. However, this adapter must be used with Mac OSX version 10.2.8 or later or an Intel-based PC.

-Connects headphones, mice, keyboards, and other Bluetooth devices to your computer with the convenience of Bluetooth wireless technology1

I want to learn more about modifying keyboards, I've been searching through hackaday.com and found some interesting stuff that lead me on this path.

Ain't gonna work period. You would have to write a driver and I think that is out of your realm. Stick with facebook and quit playing engineer.

I had a wireless keyboard with my Gateway computer which never gave me a problem Now the period key won't work on the new Dell keyboard (just over 1 year old)!

It is not dumb question at all, I understand you fully, as a matter of fact I've been working on something similar for weeks now, and even though i didn't get it to work yet, I know that it is quite possible, it just takes time.. Trials and errors.. If I get it to work I will let you know..
