Same. The mouse is always something I’m going to use on the desk next to the computer. I don’t understand the advantage of making it wireless, that’d just be one more battery for me to keep charged. Honestly, if I had a wireless mouse I’d probably just leave it plugged in to the charger as I use it. (And don’t get me started on Apple’s mouse charge port on the bottom.)

These generations of wireless mouses are fine. The advantage, as small as it is, is less drag from the wire and not having to juggle with wires when working with a laptop. Given the batteries these days I’m fine with wireless.

Now I do not have the same view on wireless keyboards as these are pretty much stationary by default.

The batteries are my main issue.

12 hour battery? I charge every night.

4 day battery life? I forget to charge until it dies, and then it dies in the middle of using it.

The mouse I have is only wireless for the "less drag while gaming" aspect but the cable is actually super nice, so I dont even mind the cable... I just leave it plugged in now.

I've been using a wireless mouse at work now for over 12 years and can count on one hand the number of times I've had to change the batteries
