My wife is looking for a new mouse to use at work and wants something without wires. Beyond that, she doesn't seem to care. I'm debating between these two.

Thoughts or other strong suggestions? Thanks.

I think the main benefit of 2.4Ghz is that you don't need to go through bluetooth pairing.
That said, no wrong answers here.

I'm using a logitech 2.4GHz. Seems to use far fewer battery changes, seamless connection. Uses a USB port on the computer, I just put the tiny dongle on the wired keyboard

Thanks. That dual option alone seems to favor the no-name one. Simple is good.

Bluetooth, hands down. Cheap mice are cheap. Stick with the Logitech.

I like BT over RF (2.4GHz).
Mainly because it doesn't take up a port.

Depends upon how modern the computer is.
If it has BT 4 or 5 then go with BT.
The 2.4GHz radios on mice and keyboards are prone to RF interference from sources such as WiFi and cell phones and pretty much anything with a motor. This is also true with older BT implementations, but BT4/5 have error-correction that negates most of the effects.
