    No, it connects via Bluetooth, which is usually internal. In the event that your laptop doesn't have Bluetooth, you can either buy an internal Bluetooth module and install it yourself (takes like 5-10 minutes) or buy a USB Bluetooth dongle, some of which can be pretty tiny.

    I vouch for the Orochi, it is an excellent mouse.

    one question about performance mx
    I know it can be used while charging (with micro-usb cable),
    but can we use it without battery, just using power from micro-usb ??
    (same like Orochi's dual mode, only still using the receiver)

    edit: I got a confirmation from azl205 that the mouse can be powered up with usb cable connected and without battery!

    Hmm... now I'm thinking to implant one of those unifying receiver in my machine LOL
