hi, i need a wireless adaptor because the one i have for my computer is coming to its day. the metal bit that pugs into the usb port is all wobbly and everytime there is even the slightest knock, the whole thing just instantly loses the connection and then i have to try and get it just right when im plugging it back in otherwise it never connects
