Most non-Bluetooth wireless keyboards/mice/etc are based on the (rather nice) nRF24L01 chip, for future reference. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA On July 3, 2016 7:41:21 PM Jonathan Gevaryahu via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

I'll ask the question. Did you just order a wireless mouse or does it say Bluetooth. There are many wireless mice that use a USB dongle that are not Bluetooth.

Yes, logitech wireless mice with the tiny dongle which is (on certain models) stored inside the mouse when not in use, do not use bluetooth; they use a much simpler wireless protocol, and are cheaper since they don't need to pay the bluetooth consortium a 'tax' per use on a commercial product.
