  Hello:

  I am tired of wired mouse. Now I am going to buy a wireless mouse.

As you know, there are too much kinds in the market!

  Could you tell me what brand I should purchase?     -- Zhao

Just about any wireless or optical mouse will work.  Not EVERY mouse, mind you, but most mice are compatible with PCs of any manufacturer, including HP (who also sells mice under the HP brand).

Microsoft sells Mice that "like" Windows and will usually work without any setup / issues.  Microsoft Updates would likey take good care of a Microsoft Mouse should there be need for drivers.  I have a couple of little Microsoft "Bluetooth" mice - odd little mice that fold (curl) to switch on and lay flat to switch off.  These lack the traditional "wheel", though the center section acts for that purpose.  A bit awkward compared to traditional mice; these certainly work and are great for tucking into a side pocket for travel.  Microsoft sells lots of other "traditional" mice, too.

I have a huge collection of Logitech mice - many kinds, older and newer models.  Nice mice - reliable, compatible with Windows (every mouse I've tried, at least).  Batteries last a long time (some models).  Precise and easy to use.

Get what you like.

Read the reviews, read the description, pay attention to whether the mouse needs drivers (and make sure you can get them).

Depending on your budget and your machine. Does your machine have Bluetooth ? If yes is is much better to use BT mouse, other wireless mice require a USB dongle. I ve some wireless mice around now

• 3 BT mice, one from Dell, one from Microsoft and one from Logitech. The Logitech mouse works on other computers but the Dell only works on Dell machines and the Microsoft mouse works on my two Surface machines. My suggestion: buy a Logitech, which is model M557.

• 7 wireless mice, 4 of them come as a set of KB and Mouse, they are very good with batteries (at least 2 years). 3 other mice are standalone. My favourite is
