Yes they do, but they are not truly wireless. There is an antenna/receiver about the size of a small web cam that connects to the computer via a cable, usually USB. There is no wire or cord on the mouse (hence they call them wireless)but the antenna/receiver clouds definition of wireless when used on a laptop. They also require batteries and have a reputation for extremely short battery life if the mouse is used for gaming (near constant activity). I don't have one, but my oldest son just started using one and my youngest son has a friend at college who fed his mouse many batteries this past year.
