A physical OEM USB dongle on PC side, whether Bluetooth or not, and an On/Off switch on the peripheral side would have certainly prevented the issue in discussion.

Surely if you disable bluetooth in the OS it'll disable any bluetooth dongles as well?

Usually from computer’s point of view these devices look like regular USB mice or keyboards so disabling Bluetooth will not disable them.
