Apparently there's both a "wireless" version of your keyboard/mouse, and a "bluetooth" version. The bluetooth version is probably labeled as such. If it doesn't say bluetooth on it, then it's probably the normal wireless version.

If it WAS the bluetooth version, you can buy a USB bluetooth adapter and it -might- connect. Google "usb bluetooth dongle" for lots of examples.

@BobR I called them and they said I cant just buy an adapter, I have to send my whole keyboard back and they'll replace it.
