A user wants to connect a new wireless mouse to a laptop that has built-in Bluetooth. The mouse was not packaged with a USB receiver dongle. Which of the following technologies is the mouse most likely to use for connection?
Wireless mice typically connect using one of two technologies: Radio Frequency (RF) or Bluetooth. RF mice require a small USB dongle to be plugged into the computer to receive the signal. Bluetooth mice can connect directly to a computer's built-in Bluetooth hardware without needing any external dongle. Since the mouse did not come with a USB dongle, it is designed to be connected via Bluetooth. Infrared is an outdated line-of-sight technology not typically used for modern mice, and Wi-Fi Direct is not a standard connection method for computer mice.
