There are two types of wireless technology that we see on cordless mice – Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz radio frequency-based. While neither of them is vastly inferior in comparison to the other, a lot of systems don’t come with built-in Bluetooth support. For such systems, there’s always an option of 2.4GHz based mice which can be attached to any PC or laptop with a USB port.
