A wireless mouse is a real godsend for a laptop owner. The choice of different models is great. It is not easy to navigate even for professionals. This article covers four important questions to help you choose a wireless mouse for your laptop.
Instructions
Step 1
Wireless option. There are currently two types of wireless mice available: one with its own radio that plugs into a USB port, and Bluetooth mice, which do not require a receiver, which means the laptop's USB port will remain free for a flash drive or other device.
Almost every laptop made since 2005 has a Bluetooth chip. Bluetooth mouse can be connected to Smart TV, tablet, smartphone. For a modern person, this opportunity turns out to be important.
The advantage of mice with their own receiver is that they are a little cheaper. Such manipulators can easily be connected to any desktop computer.
Step 2
Dimensions. Wireless mice are available in a variety of sizes. For desktop computers - long and heavy with two powerful AA cells, and for laptops, compact manipulators with a light AAA battery are produced. The ergonomics of the form is determined purely subjectively. Try not to buy a mouse blindly. Find it in a retail store and try it out before ordering.
Step 3
Cost. The price of a wireless laptop mouse can vary from 400 to 6000 rubles. The manipulators are distinguished by the quality of plastic, the durability of the microswitches under the keys, the service life of the legs and a number of other parameters. If your laptop is your constant companion, then don't skimp on quality. Cheap mice, as a rule, fail quickly, and do not work well on any surface other than a rug. Experience shows that the batteries last for less time.
At the same time, it is not worth overpaying too much. After all, you often have to work on the road, it is difficult to ensure the safety of the mouse in such conditions.
Step 4
Sensor type. Manufacturers use two types of sensors: optical and laser. Optical is cheaper and uses less power, but works on a limited number of surfaces. For example, it does not work on glass. Laser has a higher resolution and, which is important for a laptop, works on any surface.
