Maybe it's the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Mouse 3600 I use from time to time, but I have extreme problems with the mouse becoming jerky if my laptop is on 2.4 GHz WiFi. I think I've seen this before too, since Bluetooth uses 2.4 GHz, it doesn't seem to coexist well with WiFi. You'd think the proprietary wireless USB thingies would have the same problem, but I haven't seen it.
There was a review a few days ago of a new Logitech compact mouse that said it was available in corded, Bluetooth or proprietary wireless. I have an older Logitech corded mouse and it's awesome. https://www.theverge.com/21453387/logitech-mx-anywhere-3-review-compact-mouse There's also an MX Keys keyboard that says it supports Bluetooth. -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Matt Hoppes Sent: Sunday, October 11, 2020 10:56 AM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: [AFMUG] OT: external keyboards and mice We have this cool protocol built into pretty much every laptop, new desktop and mobile devices called BlueTooth. Why does every keyboard and mouse manufacturer see fit to make their device only work with their proprietary wireless dongle? You used to be able to find Bluetooth mice. Lately in the last few years they seem to be like hen’s teeth. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
