I ordered a Logi Bolt Receiver as I prefer Logitech mice over Apple mice and I prefer their protocol over Bluetooth.

I have been using a right-angle USB-C to USB-A converter to use a wireless mouse but really wanted a USB-C solution and the Logi Bolt Receiver does that. It sticks out slightly more but the receiver itself is much smaller and it's a nice solution. The tricky part of these things is to avoid losing them.

I saw a performance chart of the Logi Bolt and it's supposed to have advantages in security, performance, and the ability to work well in high-interference environments. It says that it doesn't work with older Logitech mice so I suspect you have to check your specific model to ensure that it's compatible.
 
I use Logi Bolt keyboard and mouse. On Windows, the Bolt receiver gave me better performance than Bluetooth. On Mac, Bluetooth works better for me. It's extra impressive when it kicks into gaming mode.

Whatever you do, I recommend turning off pointer acceleration in the advanced mouse settings.
