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| PS/2 | No batteries required | PS/2 ports are outdated |
