What Is a Bluetooth® Mouse?

The ubiquitous computer mouse, which many computer users are dependent on, have now gone cordless. This is made possible by a variety of technologies, one of which is Bluetooth®.

Unlike a Bluetooth® mouse, the regular mouse is "cabled," meaning it uses an electrical cord that connects to PS2 or USB ports. This type of mouse can crowd your workspace, lessen available ports for other devices like flash drives, and reduce the freedom with which the user can use the mouse.

With Bluetooth® technology , a mouse can easily and quickly connect to a laptop or desktop computer without the need for wires.

In order for your computer to use a Bluetooth® mouse, it needs to have a Bluetooth® adapter.

A Bluetooth® mouse is also designed for ease of travel.

A Bluetooth® mouse can come with different features, including optical sensors, additional and programmable buttons, clickable scroll wheels, and an ergonomic design.

A Bluetooth® mouse that supports any operating system is also common on the market.
