All I need to know is what kind of plug goes into your device. If you can't find out what Kindle you have through the settings or a purchase receipt/box etc. then I need to know how it is powered.

That V-shaped charger most likely has a plug that sticking out of it that the Kindle interfaces with. It's either USB-C or Micro-USB, the article previously provided provides a visual of the differences.

If it is an induction charger with no ports then you just need to see what female port style you have on the Kindle itself.

The picture shows both, but I'm at a disadvantage with the size, even embiggenated.
But the text tells me which one.
The one on the left isn't polarized
Plug it in, take it out, flip it over
Still goes in
The one on the right has to be plugged in one way and one way only
Plug it in
Take it out
Flip it over
You ain't plugging it in that way.

That is what I have,
The one on the right

The V shaped charger doesn't physically interface. Set the Kindle in it a bit off to one side and get a red light
Center it up, green light.

Aaand I just remembered I was using a charger that plugged into the Kindle and I had to buy a new cable and the guy told me it was a Micro USB

Can't believe I remembered that. It was so long ago it was a different Kindle

If you get a micro-USB to USB adapter you could plug in any mouse.

I am not sure when Kindle Fire started using mouse drivers but I think it was early on. Chances are any mouse will plug into that thing and work.

I'm not bothered by the Kindle keyboard, I'm sloow as molasses, no matter what keyboard I have. My daughter can get things paired, heck probably anyone in my family can,, sept me.

Bluetooth, which as you suggest could just be paired. Or the wireless mouse that has a small receiver the plugs in via USB. So if you want to avoid a plug conversion you would need the Bluetooth mouse.
