What uses less power for a mouse, USB dongle or Bluetooth? - eviltoast

I have been spending a lot of time working remotely with my laptop in random locations. And usually just plug my mouse in via the USB dongle. But just curious if there is a noticeable battery difference doing this? Seems like Bluetooth would be better because it’s already powering other things anyway.

Edit: seems like it’s Bluetooth. Going to have to change my habits. Thanks all.

    The batteries in my Logitech wireless trackball and keyboard last several months to more than a year. The keyboard in particular lasts really long. I have these on my work computer, so they are getting heavy use.
