You need to provide more details on what your problem is. I've used various Logitech keyboards and mice with no problems, but not that specific one.

That's really old, I wouldn't count on it.

Are you using bluetooth or the dongle?
I suggest updating to a current Fedora version before trying anything more.

There's no need to do that. Just update to 36 first and then go to 38.
(backups are always good of course)
which is best? usb(dongle) or BT ??

I think the USB unifying receiver makes the mouse and keyboard work exactly like any wired device. No need for special drivers or configuring bluetooth. It also means you have the keyboard available on boot, before drivers are available, if you need to hit F1 or F12 or DELL to update boot options or access the machine's BIOS/EFI configuration.

Agreed. I have an MX series kb and mouse, and that's how they work.

I agree, but there are USB wifi "dongles" that support HID proxy mode. From 2014: https://www.0xf8.org/2014/02/the-crux-of-finding-a-hid-proxy-capable-usb-blu...
Apple has supported bluetooth mouse and KB for years. Some work was needed to configure linux to recognize the keyboard and mouse.
Intel Compute Stick can use BT keyboards During POST and in BIOS: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000017249/intel-nuc... https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000016213/intel-nuc...
You do need USB keyboard and mouse to pair BT devices with the Stick.
Recent "enterprise" level systems have pretty full network support in "BIOS" with "Wake on WAN" so updates can be force fed to cubicle farms. Since BTLE is used by some two-factor authentication schemes (e.g., for proximity to a portable device), I expect it is inevitable that some form of BT will appear on enterprise devices, probably a small BT/HID stack similar to what USB dongles provide so they can configure systems so USB is not available.
