The development history of wireless mice
Original title: "How does a wireless mouse become wireless?" 》
Wireless mice have gradually become a standard feature of today’s office computers. From now on, we no longer have to drag long cords around. But, how does a wireless mouse work? Today we will learn together
No.1 The development history of wireless mouse
Did you know that the wireless mouse is now 40 years old? In 1984, Logitech developed The world's first wireless mouse, but this wireless mouse used infrared rays as a signal carrier. It was said to look like the picture below, but it later failed due to performance reasons.
It wasn’t until ten years later in 1994 that Logitech finally successfully developed a wireless mouse that worked at 27MHz. This 27MHz frequency also became the working frequency of wireless mice and keyboards for a long time. Known as 27MHz technology. In 1998, the SIG Alliance was established, Bluetooth technology came out, and wireless mice based on Bluetooth technology began to be successfully developed and commercialized. Up to now, wireless mice have mainly used wireless communication methods, including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11), Infrared (IrDA), ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) and other wireless technology standards. No.2 Technical Solution for Wireless Mouse
2.1, 27MHz TechnologyAs mentioned above, Logitech developed the first wireless mouse working at 27MHz in 1994, and later also It has slowly developed into a wireless communication technology based on the 27MHz ISM frequency band, with output power requirements less than There are four global channels in this frequency band: two of them are used for wireless keyboards , and the other two are for wireless mice; the working frequency of the wireless keyboard is 27.095MHz and/or 27.195MHz, and the working frequency of the wireless mouse is 27.045MHz and/or 27.145Mhz. In this way, the wireless mouse and wireless keyboard will not easily interfere with each other when working. However, the communication distance of this wireless technology is short, the effective transmission distance is only 182cm, less than two meters, and it only supports single transmission, the power consumption is relatively large, and the security is low. The picture below is a wireless mouse launched by Microsoft based on 27MHz ISM communication technology. The other one with a long line is the wireless mouse receiver.
2.2 2.4G / 5.8G wireless technologyAt present, most wireless mice work in these two frequency bands. 2.4G and 5.8G are also standard ISM frequency bands. 2.4G wireless technology The operating frequency is from 2.4GHz to 2.4835GHz; 5.8G wireless technology includes three 5GHz frequency bands, frequency band 1 is 5.15~5.25GHz, and its EIRP is stipulated not to be greater than 23dBm and is suitable for indoor wireless communications; frequency band 2 is 5.25~5.35GHz, stipulated Its EIRP is no more than 30dBm and is suitable for medium-distance communications; frequency band 3 is 5.725~5.825GHz. Usually people choose 5.725~5.825GHz for community broadband wireless access to obtain better performance-price ratio. The application of 2.4G wireless technology has better solved the problems of power consumption and transmission distance of 27MHz wireless technology. The 2.4G transmission efficiency has reached 2Mbps, which is much higher than the 27Mhz transmission efficiency. There is no need to work continuously for a long time, the problem of high power consumption of the product has been significantly improved, and the battery life has been greatly improved. Different from 27MHz, 2.4G uses automatic frequency modulation technology, the receiver can automatically find the available frequency band, and the mutual interference of 27Mhz products has been well solved. 2.4GHz wireless technology supports two-way transmission mode, and the signal intermittent situation that occurs in 27Mhz one-way transmission is also effectively improved. Not only that, the data transmission speed of 2.4GHz wireless technology is also faster than 27MHz. Currently, many manufacturers based on this wireless technology have launched "zero delay" products, which not only meet the needs of the majority of users, It is also an excellent product for some demanding gamers. The picture below is the zero-latency G7750 2.4GHz wireless mouse launched by Shuangfeiyan
2.3 Bluetooth technology We will take you to understand the past and present of Bluetooth in this article! "The characteristics and advantages of Bluetooth technology are introduced in detail. Bluetooth works in the ISM frequency band we are most familiar with, which is 2.4GHz, with a bandwidth of 83.5MHz, from 2.4GHz-2.4835GHz, and shares this frequency band with our commonly used wifi. So how to deal with the interference between them? Bluetooth uses frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology FHSS (Frequency-Hopping Spectrum Spred). This technology divides the frequency band into 79 frequency modulation channels with 1MHz intervals. The signal of the Bluetooth device jumps from one channel to another in a pseudo-random manner, from the surface See, Bluetooth occupies the entire ISM band, but only about 1MHz of the band is actually occupied, and the frequency modulation rate is 1600 hops per second. 
At the same time, in order to avoid potential interference, the standards organization proposed the wireless personal area network standard IEEE802.15 based on the Bluetooth protocol to solve the coexistence problem between Bluetooth and wireless network Wifi. Up to now, Bluetooth technology has been updated to the fifth generation, and its communication speed and communication distance have been significantly improved compared to the previous generation. 
The picture below shows the Professor 1 wireless Bluetooth mouse launched by HP, which supports three connection modes: 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth and wired. 
In addition, there are infrared mouse, optical mouse, and laser mouse. The comparison chart of different technologies is as follows
##No.3 Circuit design of wireless mouse We found some wireless mouse circuit design models. The following figure shows the hardware design and software design diagram of the wireless mouse for your reference and learning

How to fix the problem of wireless mouse not responding when connected to win10 system
Jun 29, 2023 pm 06:25 PM
How to fix the problem of unresponsiveness when connecting a wireless mouse to win10 system? As computer usage increases, we may sometimes encounter the problem of no response when connecting to a wireless mouse in Win10 system. If we encounter the problem of no response when connecting to a wireless mouse in Win10 system, how to deal with the problem of no response when connecting to a wireless mouse in Win10 system? No response? Fix solution for wireless mouse not responding when connecting to win10 system Mouse power supply: First check whether the switch at the bottom of the mouse is turned off (some wireless mice do not have a switch, and connecting the battery means it is turned on), as shown in the figure below: Move the switch to " "ON" means turned on, "OFF" means turned off. It should also be noted that just because the mouse light is on, it does not mean that the mouse battery must be charged.

A brief history of broadband Internet technology
Apr 16, 2024 am 09:00 AM
In today's digital age, broadband has become a necessity for each of us and every family. Without it, we would be restless and restless. So, do you know the technical principles behind broadband? From the earliest 56k "cat" dial-up to the current Gigabit cities and Gigabit homes, what kind of changes has our broadband technology experienced? In today’s article, let’s take a closer look at the “Broadband Story”. Have you seen this interface between █xDSL and ISDN? I believe that many friends born in the 70s and 80s must have seen it and are very familiar with it. That's right, this was the interface for "dial-up" when we first came into contact with the Internet. That was more than 20 years ago, when Xiao Zaojun was still in college. In order to surf the Internet, I
