Hello,

I am thinking of purchasing a Surface Go tablet, which as far as I know comes with integrated Bluetooth receiver.

The tablet only comes with one USB-C port and I won't be able to use my current wired mouse on it.

I am looking to buy a Bluetooth mouse for the tablet and don't know if any such mouse will work with the tablet.
Do all Bluetooth mice come with a dongle/ receiver and does that receiver have to be plugged into the PC in order for the mouse to work or that is only necessary for PCs without integrated Bluetooth?

Can I just pair the Bluetooth mouse to the tablet without using the receiver (if such comes in the box), provided the tablet has an integrated Bluetooth?

Or are Bluetooth and Wireless mice two different things?

Much appreciated.
