If they exist I can’t find them. I got a new Dell XPS laptop 2 months ago and all the ports are usb-c. I have to use an adapter in the usb-c port to plug in my old wireless receiver. Its annoying having this thing stick out the side of my laptop instead of nearly flush like with non usb-c.
I’ve seen wireless peripherals advertised as being usb-c. But upon closer inspection they are just the same old wireless mice…but with an adapter included in the box. 
Anyone know what the delay is?
Is this not it? It looks like a standard wireless mouse, and only shows the typical connector.
Many newer wireless mice can connect via Bluetooth rather than the dongles, and your new computer almost certainly has Bluetooth built-in, so no dongle would be necessary.
Yes, but bluetooth sucks for gaming.
SteelSeries makes a bunch of USB-C mice that can be used via a direct connection, Bluetooth (laggy), or proprietary wireless dongle (very smooth, feels just like wired): Gaming Mice | SteelSeries
I’m usually an Aerox 3 right now and I’ve tried it in all three modes. It’s great either wired or with the dongle. I wouldn’t use Bluetooth for gaming, but you know that already.
The proprietary dongles are much more reliable and much faster. Wireless is nice because there’s no cord to get caught up in. The battery lasts weeks of heavy work & gameplay for me.
Some of them have an internal li-ion rechargeable, while others take AAAs.
Sorry, just to be clear (because their webpages aren’t), even the mice labeled “Wireless” (like the Aerox 3 I’m using):
And as far as I can tell, SOME of their “wired” mice also just come with a detachable A-to-C cable that you can swap out for a C-to-C one instead. They look like the wireless mice, probably just without the wireless modules.
The Aerox 3 is the only one I can vouch for that I know for sure works with a USB C cable.
Edit: But I think you can also just use an A-to-C adapter to connect any standard USB mouse to a USB-C port…
I would guess that wired mice are not very common these days. They seem to mostly be wireless ones. That’s especially true for laptop computers. I’d guess that very few people use wired mice with their laptop. I’d guess that the manufacturers making wired mice want to make sure they can be used by the greatest number of computers, which means that big, USB-A connector. Also, I would guess wired mice would mostly be used in a fixed environment, like at your home or office desk. That would tend to be an environment with a desktop computer or with a laptop docking station, both of which would have USB-A connectors.
If you haven’t tried wireless mice, you might want to give them a try. They provide good performance and have long battery life. I have switched to wireless mice at home simply because it was getting harder and harder to find good, wired mice.
I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily harder to find good wired mice these days, but they’ve just become more niche (mostly for gamers). Within that niche, though, there are dozens of options now, e.g. SteelSeries (as above), Razer, Corsair, HyperX, CoolerMaster, Asus ROG, and even some from Logitech. Most of those brands would be unknown outside of PC gaming, but within that community, all the manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon and filled in the hole left when Logitech (partially) and Microsoft (entirely) exited the segment.
The trick is figuring out which ones either have a native USB-C connection or at least have a detachable cord so you can use your own USB-C cable.
Personally, I would also choose a wireless (non-Bluetooth) mouse too, maybe with a nano-sized USB-C receiver that can sit flush against a laptop and just live in it.
Wireless is what i’m talking about. But the receivers are still USB-A. So I have to plug an adapter into my usb-c port and then plug the usb-a receiver into that.
I would love that. Problem is, they aren’t making them yet.
Hmm, sorry, I didn’t realize they were so uncommon. But here’s one company at least: Wireless USB-C – Matias
That looks terrifying! Just waiting to snap off at the slightest touch… 
Maybe something like this would be less prone to breakage? https://tripplite.eaton.com/usb-type-c-male-to-usb-type-a-female-5-gbps-gen1-6-inch~U42806NFCRA
Sorry, I misunderstood. In that case, I would guess it’s because the manufacturers are going with Bluetooth for the wireless connection rather than with a custom receiver. Pretty much every modern laptop will have Bluetooth, so a custom receiver isn’t necessary. Desktop systems often lack Bluetooth, so they typically require some kind of receiver. And desktop systems typically only have USB-A connectors. If you need a receiver, then it’s likely you have an older laptop or a desktop system, which means USB-A. The market for a custom receiver with USB-C connection is probably too small for manufacturers to worry about.
Check if your old mouse has Bluetooth capability. If it does, you wouldn’t need a receiver at all. This is another example of why they don’t make USB-C receivers. The old wireless mice without Bluetooth are the only ones which would need it. Any modern wireless mouse would likely have Bluetooth and be able to connect directly to a modern laptop’s Bluetooth.
Sorry for the nitpick here, but… some of the things you said aren’t really true?
You’re absolutely right that these aren’t mainstream concerns, though. Most people would be perfectly fine with a generic Bluetooth mouse, or the built-in touchpad. But there still is a big (and actually growing, I think?) market niche for high-performance wireless mice that aren’t Bluetooth, as evidenced by all the links above.
If you don’t game or do high-precision work (graphics or audio editing, etc.) with your mouse, you’ll probably never notice the difference between a Bluetooth or other mouse. But if you do, it’s a very dramatic difference and Bluetooth simply can’t keep up. It is especially evident when you have a hybrid mouse that can operate in both Bluetooth and a proprietary wireless mode; switching from the proprietary to Bluetooth on the same mouse on the same computer will result in an immediately noticeable degradation.
I don’t do gaming or any other apps that need a high precision mouse, but I know from experience with audio Bluetooth connections that it’s a shitty interface. OTOH I never had problems with wireless mice with proprietary receivers.
An adapter similar to that was included with the laptop. I bought the smaller adapter in the pic because i didn’t want that extra piece of cable.
It works fine, it just triggers my aesthetics OCD. I have this super thin, beautifully made, powerful laptop. It was the first time in my life I was able to say screw it, im maxing out everything I want because I can. And I have to have this stupid oversized adapter hanging off the side. 
Isn’t the link in post#2 what you’re looking for?
Exactly. The mouse shown in post #2 appears to have a USB-C dongle.
Try to find one by a known company.
My question is why?
There must be a reason. usb-c is supposedly the new “universal”. Are we just gonna be using dongles or adapters?
You have 2 months to return it if it isn’t good enough.
