    Does anyone know which one uses more power? BT or RF ? I want to get a notebook mouse but dont want it to kill my battery. So im wondering whats more power efficient.

    I would guess that the ones with the inbuilt RF would be more power efficient, but honestly no clue. (bump)

    I agree with namaiki. Bluetooth can't be trusted IMO.
