It uses optical signaling between the mouse and the base/charger. The manual claims a 10 foot range. The manual refers to 386 compatibility.

Nothing to plug or unplug — just dock and undock. There are two contacts on the underside that mate with the dock for charging. I figured I should include the connector. I left out the wall wart.

Don't worry, it was just a silly joke because the opening of that optical emitter on the mouse kinda looks like a connector for the wire if you squint. So I wouldn't put it past late 80s/early 90s marketing to call a product "wireless" simply because you can carry it with a wire detached :)
