    Suitable wireless mouse

    I am using a 13" XPS13 9300 laptop to play Minecraft with my kids and g/children but my current cheapo mouse is not up to even that.

    The Logitech G903 has been suggested but it has a puck on a trailing cable.

    Any suggestions for a mouse which works virtually out of the box (not Bluetooth), does not have a puck, but a plug-in dongle permanently connected?

    Edit: I forgot to state that I use Ubuntu!

    Thank you but I forgot to mention the important fact that I use Ubuntu

    I read that the M705 software can be installed in windows and then carries over to linux.

    Re: Suitable wireless mouse

    I have a number of wireless Logitech mice, though not the model you specify. (Mine are M310s or equivalents.) They all use a wireless dongle and require no software. In fact I can use the mouse even in the computer's BIOS setup screen.
    If you ask for help, do not abandon your request. Please have the courtesy to check for responses and thank the people who helped you.

    Works fine, just inset the dongle and you're rolling.
