The wireless frequency is 2.4GHz and I kinda like how the wireless receiver is being held. There is a magnet at the back of the mouse which is used to hold the receiver!

I also like the grip of the mouse and it is ambidextrous designed means both right and left hand people are able to use it.

The cover is also being held together by magnet!
