Is it possible to buy such a thing? I have a wireless mouse but reception is patchy, and I'd like to move the little USB dongle up onto the desk?

Its like a small memory stick. The lead would only need to be about 3 feet long.

Yup here's one at microdirect (my favourite company as I lived 5 mins from their HQ :) ), I've not found anything less than 2m for retail unfortunately, but some USB devices come with 50cm cables so I assume they are available.

It doesn't sound like you're going for something ridiculously long but remember USB cables can't be over 5m long otherwise they go strange. You can get special cables that extend this range tho.
