You can achieve the same level of performance as a traditional wired mouse, but with unparallelled freedom over your flicks, clicks, and glides. The lack of wire means you aren\u2019t tethered to your PC or laptop, and you\u2019ll have one less cable to worry about cluttering up precious desk space.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"594\" height=\"216\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Glorious-PC-Gaming-Race-Model-O-Wireless-RGB-Gaming-Mouse-e1647331885234.jpg\" alt=\"Wired vs Wireless Image of the Glorious PC Gaming Race Model O Wireless RGB Gaming Mouse\" class=\"wp-image-13220\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Glorious-PC-Gaming-Race-Model-O-Wireless-RGB-Gaming-Mouse-e1647331885234.jpg 594w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Glorious-PC-Gaming-Race-Model-O-Wireless-RGB-Gaming-Mouse-e1647331885234-300x109.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Glorious-PC-Gaming-Race-Model-O-Wireless-RGB-Gaming-Mouse-e1647331885234-580x211.jpg 580w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those who game or work on the go, wireless mice are incredibly versatile and portable.

Laptops don\u2019t include endless USB ports and you may end up having to pick and choose which peripherals or devices you have connected at any time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-matheus-bertelli-7031692-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40611\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-matheus-bertelli-7031692-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-matheus-bertelli-7031692-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-matheus-bertelli-7031692-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-matheus-bertelli-7031692-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/pexels-matheus-bertelli-7031692-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bluetooth<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, Bluetooth mice connect to your PC or laptop directly, no USB receiver is required. Similar to 2.4GHz, Bluetooth connectivity boasts low latency, fast speeds, and reliable performance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main downside to Bluetooth wireless mice is that you need a PC or laptop that is compatible with Bluetooth in order to use them. To combat your hardware not being compatible, you can purchase a Bluetooth dongle, however this will require a spare USB port.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Connect Your Wireless Mouse<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.4GHz\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To connect your wireless mice via 2.4GHz, you\u2019ll first need to ensure that you\u2019ve plugged the USB receiver into your PC or laptop. Plus, you\u2019ll also want to double check that your mouse is fully charged or has a fresh set of batteries installed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve done these things, go ahead and turn your wireless mouse on and press the connect button. The location of these buttons can vary depending on the model and manufacturer, therefore we recommend you check the manual or manufacturer page for more details. Slowly begin moving your mouse to test the connection. As soon as you see the cursor begin to move on screen, your wireless mouse has successfully connected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please note however, you may also need to download some additional software before you can use your mouse. This is dependent on the manufacturer, so refer back to the manual for details on which software you need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Wireless-Mouse-Blank-Overclockers-UK-Blog-Feature-Image-Bottom-Text-Blog-1600x900Light-TextTwitter--1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40606\"\/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Wireless-Mouse-Blank-Overclockers-UK-Blog-Feature-Image-Bottom-Text-Blog-1600x900Light-TextTwitter--1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Wireless-Mouse-Blank-Overclockers-UK-Blog-Feature-Image-Bottom-Text-Blog-1600x900Light-TextTwitter--300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Wireless-Mouse-Blank-Overclockers-UK-Blog-Feature-Image-Bottom-Text-Blog-1600x900Light-TextTwitter--768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Wireless-Mouse-Blank-Overclockers-UK-Blog-Feature-Image-Bottom-Text-Blog-1600x900Light-TextTwitter--1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.overclockers.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Wireless-Mouse-Blank-Overclockers-UK-Blog-Feature-Image-Bottom-Text-Blog-1600x900Light-TextTwitter-.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bluetooth\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, to connect your mouse via Bluetooth, you\u2019ll need to first turn the mouse. Again don\u2019t forget to ensure its charged and ready to go. Next up, you\u2019ll need to activate your PC\/laptop\u2019s Bluetooth.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To do this, head over into <strong>Start &gt; Settings &gt; Bluetooth &amp; Devices<\/strong>. Here you\u2019ll be able to switch Bluetooth on and off. To connect to your wireless mouse, select \u2018Add device\u2019, choose the type of device you want to connect, after this your PC will start to search for nearby compatible devices.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order for your wireless mouse to be detected, you\u2019ll need to put it into \u2018Pairing\u2019 mode. Most Bluetooth compatible mice feature a \u2018Pairing\u2019 button which you\u2019ll need to press and hold down. However, this can change depending on model and manufacturer, so be sure to refer to the webpage or manual for more information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When your PC has detected your mouse, it\u2019ll appear on screen. Click on your mouse\u2019s name to add it to your list of devices. Once you do this, you\u2019ll be able to keep on using your wireless mouse without having to re-pair it every time.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Looking to Upgrade to a Wireless Mouse?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you looking to upgrade to a wireless mouse?
