It looks like it may be a transmitter for a wireless keyboard or mouse.

Definitely wireless of some kind as it has a FCC ID on it.

It's a bluetooth dongle.
What is on the other side?
Can't quite make out the FCC ID from the photo so can't look it up.
Can you take a couple more screenshots as the one is not definitive.

What does it do when you plug it in (use a different computer if you can).  

Bluetooth and Wireless will show up as connecting. USB will show up as adding a folder or drive (quite different)

So please let us know what it does
Andy,
In Device manager if you see the device is not installed properly
1. Right-click it select properties
2. Select Details tab - Property (click the dropdown and select Hardware Ids)
3. Right-Click the first line and copy and paste it in to Google and it may find the actual device and drivers on the web

Thank you guys... when I read justin comment it came to me, it's tru, when u insert a usb, the device manager reacts... so it's a Bluetooth device.

So then plug it in and now can you connect (pair) a Bluetooth device like a mouse?

Thank u all.
More likely came with a bluetooth headset rather than a mouse as it says Marvell on it.
It's "Maxell," Andy.
This is the spec sheet from FCC

Thank u guys! Even after closed question, still helping out! True gentlemens!
We learn off each other, it is not all about points. For example ZeropointNRG has taught me to read ;)

How did MASQueraid identify it exactly though?
"Can't quite make out the FCC ID from the photo so can't look it up. "

But there's a limited combination of valid characters for the bit that's blurred.

& questions never really close nowadays so if you come across a thread and think you can contribute some more useful information to the answer please do.
