Now, most wireless Mouses use 2.4 G and Bluetooth these two wireless communication technologies. There are many related products on the market. With the advent of low-power Bluetooth 4.0 BLE, wireless mice have become more and more popular. The Bluetooth Mouse price is not much different from that of the 2.4 G Wireless Mouse. So, what is the difference between these two?

Wireless communication coding mode and protocol architecture are the two biggest difference between them. The Bluetooth Mouse adopts the international unified standard communication protocol. However, 2.4 G Mouse are of different technical level because of the different protocols of manufacturers. As a result, the quality of 2.4 G Wireless Mouse is uneven on the market. Other notable differences between these two are their receiver and pairing. Next, we will understand their difference in these two aspects.

As to receivers, 2.4 G Wireless Mouse, in general, case, has a mini receiver. You need to plug it into the USB port to connect with the computer. Then, you are in communication of a certain frequency band. You can control the computer without the communication hardware of the Bluetooth device. The Bluetooth Mouse does not require a receiver. However, it requires computers, laptops, tablets and mobile phones with built-in Bluetooth devices. With a simple pairing connection, you can use it. It needs no USB ports of the host.

In terms of pairing, both 2.4 G and Bluetooth Wireless Mouse need a simple pairing before their first use. But there is a big difference. The Bluetooth Mouse do not have a receiver. Therefore, it is free to pair with different hosts. You can connect it to a computer with Bluetooth function at any time. However, most manufacturers will equip the “communication code value” of the receiver and the 2.4 G Mouse sender before its delivery. This is to save costs or because of having no free code matching technology. The advantage is the direct use for users. However, when one end of the equipment is lost or damaged, you need to buy a complete set of equipment. This will increase your use cost, and it’s inconvenient.

Compared with the traditional wired Mouse, wireless Mouse can get rid of the shackles of distance. This is one of its advantages. It is easy to realize long-distance control. It is convenient to carry. More and more people are using it. Now, let’s talk about communication distance. Due to its late appearance, Bluetooth 4.0 Mouse has high consistency in parameter features. The 2.4 G Wireless Mouse has varied performance due to different manufacturers. The 2.4 G Wireless mouse has a shorter control distance than the Bluetooth Mouse. Moreover, Bluetooth Mouse has an advantage in transmission distance due to its larger delay.

These are the main differences between the two wireless mouses. Does your computer have a USB port? Do you want a more intuitive control with less delay? If yes, 2.4 G Wireless mouse may be more suitable. If there are few or no USB ports, Bluetooth Mouse will be the best choice!
