How do you choose a mouse?
Choose mouse
With a mouse, you can perform most of your work on the PC. That is why it's important that you choose a computer mouse that suits you. Ask yourself the following questions to make the right choice:
- Do you want a wired or wireless mouse?
- Do you choose an ergonomic mouse for a relaxed working position?
- Do you want a mouse for gaming?
BlueBuilt Nexum Silent Click Wireless Mouse
- Thanks to the silent buttons, you're no longer bothered by clicking noises and you can work more focused.
- With a wireless mouse, you have more freedom of movement than with a wired mouse.
- This BlueBuilt mouse comes with a 5-year warranty, which is longer than other mice have.
- The mouse has no extra buttons on the side that allow you to quickly navigate through menus.
- Because the optical sensor works less well on smooth surfaces than a laser sensor, we recommend a mouse pad.
Do you want to work wired?
The standard, wired mouse is the solution when you occasionally use the computer to browse the internet or keep up with your email. The regular, wired mouse without any side buttons is generally symmetrical, which means you can use this mouse whether you're left or right-handed. They're reliable, but lack extra functions and an ergonomic design.
- Easy to use
- Durable and robust
- No extra buttons
Do you want to work wirelessly?
Wireless mice with USB receiver
With a wireless mouse, messing around with cables around your PC is a thing of the past. Wireless mice work with a dongle, giving you more freedom to move around than wired mice. In addition, mice are convenient for use with a laptop, since they're easy to carry around. Thanks to improved battery life of wireless mice, fully charged batteries will last you several months.
- No mess of cables
- More freedom of movement
- Battery or batteries will need to be replaced
Bluetooth mice
Whereas a wireless mouse with a dongle uses radio frequencies to connect, a Bluetooth mouse uses Bluetooth. Because most devices such as laptops and computers have Bluetooth, a Bluetooth mouse will work on all of these systems. That's why you won't need a USB dongle to use a Bluetooth mouse.
- No mess of cables
- No USB dongle required
- Only works on systems that support Bluetooth connections

- This mouse is only suitable for right-handed users.
- Due to the compact size, this mouse is less comfortable during prolonged use.
Do you want to work ergonomically?
When you work with a mouse daily, it's important to invest in an ergonomic mouse. Thanks to the special shape of a trackball or vertical mouse, you'll take up a natural, relaxed posture. This way, you'll prevent wrist issues that could lead to RSI. In addition, left-handed versions of ergonomic mice are often available, which means you won't depend on uncomfortable symmetrical mice any longer.

- For right-handed and left-handed users

Do you want to game?
Apart from a flashy design, a gaming mouse also has extra buttons and more accurate sensors. In addition, many gaming mice have RGB lighting and weights. This is important for PC gamers in order to keep playing comfortably for hours, while having all kinds of extra functions under their thumb. That way, you'll get your opponents in sight as accurately as possible.
- Extra buttons, functions, and more accurate sensors
- Programmable buttons and lighting
- Flashy design isn't for everyone
Conclusion
When choosing a mouse, it's important to consider whether you want a wireless or a wired mouse. In addition to that, it's a good idea to think about how often you'll be using it. For daily use, it's wise to purchase an ergonomic mouse. Gaming mice have more functions and better sensors, allowing you to work more precisely.
