I have been spending a lot of time working remotely with my laptop in random locations. And usually just plug my mouse in via the USB dongle. But just curious if there is a noticeable battery difference doing this? Seems like Bluetooth would be better because it’s already powering other things anyway.
Edit: seems like it’s Bluetooth. Going to have to change my habits. Thanks all.
Now that we have BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) I’m pretty sure it is better than USB dongle. I have a BLE keyboard and a BLE trackball and never used the dongle so not sure how to compare.
Plus it saves 2 USB outlets on my PC :)
