Do you prefer USB or Bluetooth? why?

Bluetooth allows you to connect to different laptops. Some laptops like my Samsung Notebook 9 have only USB-C outlets.

You can still get the USB version if your budget is better suited for it.

@QueenMyPawn
Should I worry for battery life?

Yes, definitely. A bluetooth battery is $30 in case you lose or damage it, otherwise it's rechargeable with USB.

@jp_f @QueenMyPawn I bought some USB-c to USB converters on amazon, robust and cheap. In my opinion one shouldn't be disouraged of USB form factor

yes I have bluetooth DGT Board - good product and good support but of course very expensive.

Great for teaching at the chess club as games can be played on it and displayed via a laptop to the big screen as well as recording the games played especially useful for Blitz games.
