However, these mice are very rarely manufactured due to the fact that they get dirty easily and are slow to process information. Optical mice are the de facto standard for mice today.
They use optical light to calculate distance and position. They are extremely inexpensive, extremely reliable, and process information quickly. A new technology that is out is Laser Mice. Instead of optical light, they use laser light to precisely calculate movement and position. They are extremely precise and reliable and process information extremely quick.
Most gamers use Laser Mice because of their high performance. However, they are much more expensive than optical mice. It requires both parts to operate on the same frequencies, usually by using the same identification code.
Pairing takes place to try to eliminate interference. Some devices automatically pair both devices at start up, while others need to be manually paired. Security is always an issue when sending information over the air. Most mice effectively secure information by encrypting data. Other methods include frequency hopping to prevent hacking or eavesdropping. Your email address will not be published.

Hi, i have wirless mouse, but i lost RF receiver, shall i get RF receiver separately out side. Is there a program CD that goes along with the mouse when I buy it? Sign up for our Newsletter!

It sends an electromagnetic radio signal that encodes the information about the mouse's movements and the buttons you click. The receiver, which is connected to your computer, accepts the signal, decodes it and passes it on to the mouse driver software and your computer's operating system.
The receiver can be a separate device that plugs into your computer, a special card that you place in an expansion slot, or a built-in component. Like other radio technologies, this requires a transmitter and a receiver. The mouse transmits radio signals to a receiver, which is itself connected to the computer hardware, normally via a wire. This kind of wireless mouse is very reliable, and capable of transmitting the mouse's movements to the receiver from across a room.
Using short-length radio waves, this kind of wireless mouse transmits signals to a receiver. It doesn't change the basic RF technology, but it does allow for flexibility in set-up. For example, the transmitter can be a small USB plug-in. This makes it easy for a user to sync up their computer with the wireless mouse, thus removing the extra clutter of an external transmitter. In regard to the technology used to record movement, wireless mice are similar to corded mice.
Mechanical, optical and laser mice are the three main types of both wireless and corded mice.
