Reply to comment by barbarapalvinswhore in WIRED computer mouse. I'm particularly interested in one with a cable that will not fray. They seem to fray very shortly after I get them. I want the cable to be like a quarter of an inch thick. I don't care if the thing weighs 5 lbs. My budget is $200. by TheJawsofIce

My work laptop does not have Bluetooth.

The Logitech unifying receivers are so tiny these days, I just leave mine in the laptop at all times. Just saying...

A lot of wireless mouses have a little Bluetooth USB plug.

As long as it has a USB, you can use something like the Logitech g pro wireless. Lasts for fucking ages too, and no wire to get in the way.

You can add Bluetooth with a USB dongle. But I don't really recommend that, Bluetooth can get interrupted by all kinds of stuff. The Logitech Lightspeed and Logitech Unifying wireless stuff is awesome though, I've never had any connection issues at all. And it's amazing for transportation, no cable to get all tangled up, batteries last for a year of daily heavy use.

My work laptop in about as locked down as you can get short of disabling the USB ports but a Logitech mouse with unifying receiver works just fine.
