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.

My logitech wireless mice will run on a single AA for like ... 2 years of daily use, I wanna say? At least 18 months.

Great, and my wired mice will run on no battery for eternity, no matter how much it gets used.

It's running on your laptop battery
