A wireless optical mouse is a convenient choice for many computer users. Wheeled mice can collect dust, dirt and debris inside the wheel trap, causing the mouse to function improperly or not respond at all to movement. Optical mice, on the other hand, use an LED (light-emitting diode) to sense mouse movement. They are less susceptible to malfunction compared with wheeled mice.
Installing a wireless optical mouse only takes a few minutes. As long as your computer can handle wireless optical technology, you need to do little more than plug in the device to start using it.
