About the Product
Enjoy the freedom and convenience of wireless technology. You can roam up to 15 feet away with a strong signal. Or, you can take the mouse separately to use with a laptop while traveling-the tiny transceiver conveniently snaps into the bottom of the mouse when it's time to pack up and go.
This simple, modern desktop set provides security with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to protect your keystrokes, and a full-size mouse that provides comfortable, precise navigation.
