CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Mice. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of mouse.

Mouse interface

Connecting a peripheral to your system requires matching interfaces. As new technologies and interfaces are developed, users find that the old and new are seldom compatible. Now we have hope: USB is here to stay. But Bluetooth is here too, so you'll still have to decide which interface is right for you.


Input interface Benefit Drawback
Bluetooth No wires to get tangled, Bluetooth-equipped systems don't require an external signal receiver Requires batteries or charger
Wireless No wire attached to the mouse but the receiver dongle may have a wire Requires the use of a USB signal receiver, batteries
USB No batteries required, USB will be around for a long time Not ideal for notebooks
PS/2 No batteries required PS/2 ports are outdated
