- Speed
Because it transmits information via a radio protocol, a wireless mouse is usually slower than a wired one, which transmits information significantly faster via a wire. You usually won’t notice this during regular use, but it can become painfully apparent during gaming, where even the slightest lag matters.
Most modern gaming wireless mice utilize advanced technology that results in a practically lag-free experience.
- Freedom of Movement
The long and easily tangled USB cable on a wired mouse is clearly less convenient for traveling. In this aspect, a wireless mouse is more portable and travel-friendly while also offering more freedom of movement and does not limit the work surface to the length of its cable. - Power Source
Power is a game-changer, especially in the context of travel. When using a wireless mouse, keep in mind that it uses battery power, requiring charging or new batteries to work. With wireless mice that use power from the host device, you don’t have to worry about this. - Compatibility
Last but not least, there’s a major compatibility difference between a wired and a wireless mouse. A wired mouse always requires a USB port to work. On the other hand, a Bluetooth mouse is compatible with any device that has a built-in Bluetooth receiver.
