Bluetooth® technology allows for cordless computer mice, freeing up workspace and allowing for greater mobility. They can connect to computers via built-in or external Bluetooth® adapters and are ideal for business presentations. Bluetooth® mice also come in various sizes and designs with additional features.
The ubiquitous computer mouse, upon which many computer users depend, has now gone cordless. This is made possible by a variety of technologies, one of which is Bluetooth®.
A mouse is a pointing device that controls the movement of the cursor on a computer monitor. Unlike a Bluetooth® mouse, the regular mouse is “wired,” which means it uses an electrical cord that plugs into the PS2 or USB ports. This type of mouse can crowd your workspace, reduce the ports available for other devices such as flash drives, and reduce the freedom with which the user can use the mouse.
With Bluetooth® technology, a mouse can quickly and easily connect to a laptop or desktop computer without the need for cables. For your computer to use a Bluetooth® mouse, you must have a Bluetooth® adapter. Many new computers already have built-in adapters. If your computer doesn’t have one, you’ll need to connect an external one in the form of a Bluetooth® dongle, which is usually small, about the size of an adult thumb.
Bluetooth® mice are excellent for business presentations because they can be used up to 33 feet (or 10 meters) away from the computer. This means that the user doesn’t have to be near the computer, giving him the freedom to move around with ease.
Even a Bluetooth® mouse is designed for easy travel. No cables means no wasting time untangling your mouse from the rest of your laptop cables. Some Bluetooth® mice are so small and light that they can easily fit in your pocket. Other variants have been crafted to be more sensitive to surfaces and usable almost anywhere, whether it’s on your office desk, on an airplane, at your favorite coffee shop, or even on your bed. Not only that, but the mouse can be used on a horizontal or vertical surface.
A Bluetooth® mouse can come with a variety of features, including optical sensors, add-on and programmable buttons, clickable scroll wheels, and an ergonomic design. A Bluetooth® mouse that supports any operating system is also common on the market.
