No matter whether you are a regular user, graphic designer, gamer or you just love to spend a quality time with your laptop, a dedicated cheap wireless mouse is more comfortable than to touch with the touchpad.
It's also time saving and no doubt that works much more precisely than the touchpad.
A regular mouse connects to computer or a laptop with use of cord. So there is chance to tangle up in the cord, to tear apart.
Moreover it does not allow a person or better cannot provide enough freedom to work sitting at any place in the room.
So, to solve these problems here comes the wireless mouse which allows us to work freely.
A wireless mouse does not use any cord to connect to the host device, as it works via radio frequencies.

There's may be another question about the connectivity, Bluetooth mouse or propitiatory 2.4 GHz wireless link?
There's an inbuilt bluetooth adapter on most laptops, so if you don't have a spare USB port, like on tablets, go with a bluetooth mouse.
Bluetooth is also capable of handling multiple devices simultaneously. Like a mouse and bluetooth keyboard connect at the same time to a single bluetooth adapter.
That multi device connection like bluetooth is also available with Logitech's Unifying receiver, however it bounds us to use only Logitech products.

Notes and Conclusion
If you've plugged the receiver on a USB 3.0 port, then the range and reliability may suffer, depends on specific hardware.
WiFi routers and USB 3 signals causes significant RF interference in the 2.4 GHz range. So if the signal from the mouse is weak, then it's bound to cause lag and connection drops.
The list of cheap wireless mouse is over. All of above comes in cheap price without compromising performance, comfortability or look.
