The concept of "Starlight" is no stranger to everyone. It has been used in Huawei Mate 60 series, Pocket 2 smartphones, some models of the Pura 70 series, as well as tablets, headphones, M-Pencil, and other devices.

It seems that Starlight technology is more commonly used in devices around smartphones. But what about Huawei's own PC-related devices?

Indeed, there is. The star of our test today is the Huawei Wireless Mouse Starlight Edition.

For some users, the most frustrating thing when using a wireless mouse is occasional disconnections and lagging issues, mainly caused by everyday devices like routers and microwaves interfering with the wireless mouse's frequency band.

The Huawei Wireless Mouse Starlight Edition utilizes Starlight NearLink technology along with adaptive frequency hopping algorithms, increasing its anti-interference capability by 4 times, effectively minimizing the occurrence of such issues.

Over 300 domestic enterprises have joined the Starlight Alliance, indicating the vast development prospects of this new technology.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, with different usage scenarios.

Especially in the era of ubiquitous smart connections, the limitations of Wi-Fi/Bluetooth become apparent. However, with Star Turbo technology, the strengths of these two technologies are combined to achieve both high speed and low power consumption.

During a recent product launch event, Huawei showcased the advantages of Star Turbo technology compared to traditional wireless connections. It can achieve 60% lower power consumption, 6 times higher speed, 1/30th the latency, and support 10 times more network connections. This technology is suitable for various scenarios such as consumer electronics, smart homes, new energy vehicles, and industrial smart manufacturing. In terms of connectivity and usage scenarios, Star Turbo technology outperforms Wi-Fi and Bluetooth comprehensively. s_126427884f524029914ebdaf86776f54.png As for the difference between Starlight, WiFi, and Bluetooth, the advantages of Starlight are very clear from the comparison in the table above.

Next, let's take a look at the performance of the Huawei wireless mouse Starlight edition.
