FAQ
Computer mice can connect through a wired USB cable, Bluetooth, or a wireless USB receiver. Bluetooth models pair with a compatible computer without a receiver, while receiver-based models require a matching USB port or adapter. Some mice offer more than one connection option.
Many computer mice support basic pointing, clicking, and scrolling across Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS. Compatibility varies by model, and advanced functions may require software that supports only certain operating systems. Check the listed system requirements and connection type for your school computer.
Programmable buttons can be assigned actions such as copying and pasting, switching applications, or navigating between browser pages. These assignments are usually configured through the mouse manufacturer's software. On a school-managed computer, installing that software may require administrator permission.
Most computer mice have a wheel for vertical scrolling. Some also include a tilt wheel or a separate control for horizontal scrolling, while others offer a choice between notched and free-spinning scrolling. Support for these functions can vary by application and operating system.
Wired mice draw power through their USB connection. Wireless mice typically use replaceable batteries or a built-in rechargeable battery. Rechargeable models may charge through a cable or a compatible charging accessory, and whether they can be used while charging depends on the model.
