IMAC computer keyboard and mouse cables the same?

Good evening:
On my IMAC computer, the cable that charges the mouse seems like it is not plugging into the mouse all the way. Can I use the cable from the keyboard as a substitute on the mouse?
Thanks much!!

I have 4 Macs and the later models have a single charging cable for the keyboard and mouse which plugs into the back of the computers. It has contacts on both sides and fits both; rather small connector. Obviously the older battery powered keyboards and mice don't have a cord...they have batteries.....I have one of those too.

Good evening:
I found that the mouse and keyboard cables are the same, with both having a USB connector at one end. I swapped cables, so the mouse cable (which I unplug and plug daily) is the best looking of the two. Thanks!!

MAC uses the same cable as IPhone

USB connectors are prone to collecting dust to the point that they won't plug in fully. You can dig out the crud with a straight pin. Make sure to completely power down whatever you're working on before you start poking around with metal objects.
