The mouse pad connects to your computer through a standard USB cable and gets its power from there. The pad then creates an electrical field that interacts with the internal circuitry inside the mouse and gives it power. As a result, the mouse must be used directly on its mouse pad.
There are many versions of the wireless battery free mouse that are catered towards different end users.
NB-20 - Mini mouse meant for portability for notebook computers. The pad contains a retractable USB cord.
NB-30/NB-35 - basic office mouse. Two normal buttons, and a single scroll wheel. The difference between the 30 and 35 versions is the way they look with the 35 having a more see-through body casing.
