Amazon Basics Wireless Computer Mouse with USB Nano Receiver – Blue

Product Information

The Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse is designed to be your go-to mouse for precise scrolling and navigation. The compact design makes it easy to be productive on the go. If using an older computer (2005 or earlier) with a serial or USB mouse, it may be necessary to configure the ports in the BIOS setup. If you have a newer computer, this section can be skipped. To change how any special buttons work on your mouse, additional software may need to be installed. If the mouse is not functioning, see our mouse troubleshooting section. Connecting a wired USB mouse If you're having problems connecting a serial mouse because the computer has no serial port or the port is not working, consider using a serial to USB adapter. BIOS setup To get set up, you’ll need a PC that’s running Windows 11 with support for Bluetooth 4.0 or later. This mouse supports Swift Pair in Windows 11 for faster pairing.

To connect a wireless USB mouse to your computer, you must have the USB receiver that comes with it. Without the receiver, there is no way to connect the wireless USB mouse to your computer. Once the wireless receiver is connected to the computer, Windows or macOS should automatically find and install the appropriate drivers. Depending on the mouse brand, your computer may need to connect to the Internet to install the drivers automatically.On your Windows 10 PC, select Connect if a notification appears for your mouse, then wait for it to get set up. Of course, we've found it to be just as impressive in performance and battery life as it is in form. Its satisfying-to-press optical switches and battery life of 90 hours are a boon to every user as well. This isn't just one of the best wireless mice to come out this year it's one of the best gaming mice ever, and more than worth its admittedly steep price. Roccat’s Kone line gives its popular and great-performing gaming mice an ergonomic twist. The sleek Roccat Kone Pro Air, Kone Pro’s wireless counterpart, offers users hours of comfortable use with its wide contoured body, a supportive hump, a lightweight frame, and a cable-free connection. With gaming mice, things get more complicated. The number of buttons often corresponds to the type of mouse you’re buying: Esports mice are designed to minimize weight, so most keep it to six. First-person shooter (FPS) mice often add extra dpi-switcher controls, so they tend to hit eight to 10. Specialized MMO mice have a ton of buttons to replicate the function keys on a keyboard, so they often have 15 or more. To be clear, more isn’t always better: Adding buttons adds weight and, if poorly designed, creates uncomfortable movements that are slow to reach and can hurt your hand with overuse. That said, companies are still finding new ways to add inputs without compromising comfort, so it is possible to find mice that defy these categories.

Connectivity, battery life, and software are all important features to consider when looking specifically for a wireless mouse, but they’re ultimately irrelevant if the mouse you’re looking at doesn’t nail the important design features we look for in any mouse. There are a few different kinds of wireless charging, which vary by brand, so it’s important to identify how the feature works. Many manufacturers, including Corsair and HyperX, have adopted the Qi wireless charging standard, so the mice can be charged on the same charging pads used for phones and other devices. (All of them, of course, would be happy to sell you a charging pad or mousepad with a built-in charging spot.) At least one company, Logitech, still relies on a proprietary charging technology, which adds unique benefits but makes the feature an expensive add-on, which isn’t ideal. If you’re right-handed, you should buy a right-handed mouse, as the side-specific shapes do tend to offer more ergonomic support. Unfortunately, the options for left-handed people are few and far between. There are a few left-hand-specific mice, but most of your options will be ambidextrous mice, which accommodate left- and right-handed users by adding redundant side buttons and removing dominant-hand-specific ergonomic support.
