How to Buy a Wireless Mouse

Unlike a regular mouse a wireless mouse does not have any cable attached to it. It sends out infrared or radio signals to the base receiver. A wireless mouse offers higher flexibility and mobility, and can be used with desktops as well as laptops. Here’s how you can buy a wireless mouse:

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Look at various models and brands of wireless mice. Wireless mice may incorporate either the Bluetooth, infrared or wireless RF technology.
2. Ensure that a wireless mouse you purchase is compatible with your CPU. It should have the same wireless standard as the mouse.
3. Understand the various types and features of wireless mice. Buy a wireless mouse that is optical, has a scroller, and is ergonomically designed for right and left handed users. Other features that you may look for include compatibility with Windows and MAC, sleep mode and touch sensor.
4. Understand the range of the wireless mouse. In other words, look through the mouse’s specifications to see how far it should be kept from the CPU.
5. Get a feel of the buttons before you buy. Some like hard keys while some prefer a soft feel.
6. Compare prices online and at local computer stores. You may find that the prices of wireless mice online are low as compared to the prices in a store. However, study the dealer details carefully before buying online. Check out the reviews of the dealer.
7. Check out online buyers’ guides such as Epinions and MySimon (see lonks, below). These sites offer a comparison of various brands of wireless mice and list numerous vendors along with their listed prices. Place your order online through a reliable online store or directly on the website of the brand you choose.
