I'm thinking of getting a cordless mouse for the laptop. Has anyone here used one?
From pictures, they seem to have a receiver at the laptop end, plugged into a usb port. Does this need to be line of site from the mouse?
Also, is a purely h/w device or does it need drivers?
TIA Syd
I have a logitech cordless Mouse/KB
Plugs into either usb or ps2 (by means of some adapters)
The RF dongle that plugs into the PC acts just like a regular mouse/KB so no drivers needed (unless you want to make use of the extra quick access buttons)
The Bluetooth ones may well need drivers of some sort, mine is RF but not bluetooth.
I'm quite happy with it, batteries have lasted over a year now (the optical mouse version will need rechargables for the mouse) range is so good that keyboard actually works in the room next door !
