As important as this computer accessory is, it is important to note that there are different types of computer mouse available online. Each with unique features and they vary in prices too. Two most popular mouse brands sold online are the HP and Dell mouse. With this guide, you can easily select the perfect mouse for your system.
1. Wired or Wireless Mouse: From the name, a mouse can be of two types. The wired mouse is also known as cord mouse meaning it is connected to the desktop or laptop via a wired connection. One major advantage of this is you don’t have to buy batteries often because the mouse is also powered by the cable connection. Also, they are less expensive when compared to the wireless mouse and they never lose connection as long as the cord is not damaged and it is connected to the required port. One major disadvantage of wired mouse especially ones that use USB connection is they monopolize your USB ports. For a system with only two USB ports, imagine using one of them for your mouse and you have to manage other devices with one. Wireless mouse is connected to the PC or laptop via Bluetooth or Radio Frequency. Most people confuse both connection type. A chip that comes with the mouse is the frequency transmitter chip that sends a signal to the mouse. While those that connect to the Bluetooth of the system are the Bluetooth mouse. This category is more expensive than the wired ones. They also make use of batteries for power. They give you more flexibility due to the absence of cables. They are prone to connection loss especially when they are out of signal range.
2. Type of Connection: The computer mouse can be connected the USB port or the serial port. Although the latter is outdated, some old desktop still makes use of the serial port mouse. The USB port is the upgrade of the serial port connection. It is fast and easier to install. With this, the mouse driver installs automatically hence the word – Plug and Play Devices. Be it wired or wireless type, they both make use of the USB ports.
3. Buttons Present: By default, there should be two major buttons present on the mouse which are the left button and the right button. Each has its specific operation and function it carries out. Some mouse have other buttons such as volume control buttons, scroll buttons, and more.
