Is it possible to reprogram wireless mouse receiver to receive signals from different mouse?

I have a Tecknet wireless Mouse which has a USB receiver. The exact make can be found on this link:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/TeckNet%C2%AE-Wireless-Buttons-Adjustment-Levels-Grey/dp/B001DHECXA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1462006135&sr=8-2&keywords=mouse.
In fact I have two of these, but I have lost the mouse for one and the receiver for the other. So my question, is there a way to reprogram the mouse receiver to receive signals from the other mouse?
Thanks in advance.

To me it is odd that it wouldn't already do so. Weird thing to try: Remove the batteries , unplug the dongle , wait 20 seconds, plug it all back in, hope.

No, unfortunately it didn't work. I don't know much about it but i assume they are set or different frequencies of something. Perhaps there is a way to sync them

All the wireless peripherals I know of, including mice, have a button called "reset" or "connect" or something to that effect.
The mouse and the receiver are paired to each other from the factory, but that pairing might get lost due to battery loss or whatever. This is when the "connect" function would be useful. A mouse and/or a receiver wouldn't know that you're now wanting to connect a different but identical mouse, so that should work exactly as good.
If your mouse or receiver doesn't have a button on it (typically on the underside, or under the battery lid) then you're out of luck.

This is an old questions, but posting here for the sake of others who google this topic and get this page.
Microsoft has done a "very special" thing where they removed pairing buttons from most of their wireless devices and have factory-programmed transceivers to pair ONLY with one wireless device sample (mouse, keyboard, etc.).
Hence, if you lose the transceiver (or the mouse?) - you're out of luck, as the two are uniquely paired from the factory and there's no way to re-pair yourself.
Some people have had luck writing to Microsoft and asking for another receiver, but not many.
Otherwise - you've got a paperweight (albeit light).

To me it is odd that it wouldn't already do so. Weird thing to try: Remove the batteries , unplug the dongle , wait 20 seconds, plug it all back in, hope.
