hi all

can someone please advise on differences between wireless mouse and a blue tooth mouse?

Which is better generally? are there any differences!?

Thanks

it will depend on each individual mouse

a £5 unbranded generic mouse wireless or bluetooth will not be the same as something like the MX revolution or other similar high end mouse

sure enough thanks for the reply, i was looking at getting a good mouse so budget of around 30-45, but wondered if there are any advantages to bluetooth over wireless and viseversa, so that I could start looking,.

the only advantage i found was the fact that my laptop has bluetooth built in, and hence no dongle would be needed, but that aside, is there a difference in performance, if both had the same dpi?
thanks

bluetooth should be better signal than wireless...

also it doesnt need to be in sight of the bluetooth toggle to fully work (i.e you could use it in the next room) why you would want to I dont know...

but honestly doubt you would not any differnce for gaming etc....

TBH if you have bluetooth built in then that seems like the most simple answer. I would recommend that. Means you wont have to carry a wifi dongle around and as was said you wont need line of sight for it to work well.

yeah i agree bluetooth would seem like a more sensible solution
