    Does anyone happen to know how much is the difference in power consumption between a Cordless bluetooth mouse and a USB one ?

    the power consumption to your laptop or the total consumption?

    the bluetooth will consume more power either way. as far as laptop runtime, it probably won't change it very much.

    the power consumption to my laptop, I want it to last as much as possible, so if the difference was like 15 minutes I'd rather get the USB mouse.
