It is exactly what the name states; wireless! This type of mouse requires a battery and can be connected to your computer through a receiver that emits radio frequencies. The computer accepts the signal and decodes how the cursor was moved or what buttons were clicked.

No matter what type of mouse is used, they all communicate with the computer either wirelessly or via a physical, wired connection. Consider the types of daily tasks you do to narrow down the best mouse for your own computing needs!
