My wired mouse still works and I'm not going to consoom and buy another mouse just because it's wireless.
it just works
Wireless just works as well and doesn't have disadvantages of having a wire, so what's the issue?
Wired just works as well and doesn't have disadvantages of having batteries, so what's the issue?
having a wire 100% of the time, instead of 5% of the time, when I plug it in to charge overnight every couple of weeks.
how is a cable a drawback? how big is your desk? how short are your wired mice? do you walk around with your mice?
>how is a cable a drawback?
you don't understand because you're used to it. if you switched to wireless, you'd never go back.

TOTAL ZOOMER DEATH
weird in what way?
Wireless GPUs exist too. Do you use one, OP?
>They literally work just as well.
They do not.
They have to wake up from sleeping which often takes multiple seconds.
You have to manage the batteries which go flat every few years.
The dongles are easy to misplace if you use them with portable computers.
There's higher latency which matters if you're gaming and if you're doing *a lot* of CAD.
Are you from 2005?

Oh wait you're just a moron.
Yeah, frick people designing infrastructure
i'm not even going to dignify this moronation of a post with a full answer. get help anon, and that's a sincere advice.
It's really annoying when some interference eats your click or keypress, and then you have to constantly check if your inputs go through. Also they discharge at the worst moments, and you always get that anxiety in the back of your mind. And if they use rechargeables, you need to get into the habit of charging them constantly, and you know it will hold less and less charge over time until they're dead, and they're essentially a consumable product.
Why should I use a wireless mouse over a wired mouse if I only use a desktop anyway?
why would I bother with batteries/charging when my mouse is always next to my pc anyway? the only reason I'd get a wireless mouse is if my current one breaks and it's a better deal, and even then I'd just keep it plugged in 24/7 because there's no drawbacks
>there's no drawbacks
Aside from the cable draw.
>latency
>battery
>easy to lose dongle
What the frick is the benefit of wireless mouses?
I recently went to the local electronics store to buy an el cheapo mouse for 30 thirdiebucks and I could only find WIRELESS TRASH for more than 70. It's almost certainly a way to profit off idiots.
>Latency
Non issue, practically just as fast as wired now.
Dragging a cord around is shit. Simple as.
>Dragging a cord around is shit
NTA, but get a desktop you mongoloid. You're not supposed to drag your cords around anywhere, they're supposed to stay in one place and you're supposed to get your fat ass up and move to and from your computer.
OP, I'm not going to buy shit that I don't need. Simple as.
I'm not a zoomer afraid of cables.
wireless: data has to go from a to b wirelessly via a usb device plugged into my computer capable of receiving and transmitting information wirelessly
wired: it just works, nop risk
Because my mouse is a stationary trackball and the wire makes no difference to me.
the only sane defense of wired cursor input devices in this thread other than battery life
latency has been removed in higher end mice ($25+ dollars)
GANGSTER
The question should be reversed, why would you ever buy anything wireless if you only use your computer at one, dedicated desk? Wireless technology is a trap, in my experience there's ALWAYS some tradeoff. It's either price, or weight, or durability, or throughput, or latency, or interference, or having to replace batteries, or having the built-in battery lose capacity over the years. These days, I use simple wired tech everywhere I can, no matter the type of device - e.g. fiber to the home, Ethernet to the room, old Sony headphones with an audio jack - and that eliminates whole classes of tech problems that I see other people have.
I own wireless everything. Mouse, keyboard, headsets, you name it.
For the mouse, I got a wireless one because I didn't like the wire dragging across my desk and snagging on various places.
>but what about the latency? Connectivity issues? The battery?
Legitimate concerns that played into my research. Mice that solve all of these issues are quite expensive, but they DO exist, and I bought one such mouse, so I have no complaints. It depends on whether you can justify the cost.
For the headphones, I don't like having the cables rubbing against my body and possibly being forcefully yanked by a misplaced ligament. I also like to frequently get up and move.
>wireless latency
You can get RF headphones that have a substantially low latency, to the tune of 20-40ms. Perhaps not as good as wired (though in my tests wired was maybe 5ms faster, could be latency in the drivers for the jack). Sound quality is fine. Cost is VERY high, but I don't regret my purchase and am looking to upgrade in the future.
Don't buy a wireless keyboard, it's genuinely fricking moronic 99% of the time.
But even then I had a use case. I do a lot of drawing, and I frequently had to move my keyboard since the screened tablet took up so much space, which involved all manner of cable wrangling. So I eventually bought a wireless keyboard to make the process much easier, which it did. But then I also ended up switching my setup and mounting the tablet to a monitor arm, so the whole reason ended up being moot. I keep it permanently wired now.
If your preferences are this specific, then I guess it makes sense. For me though, my mouse cable is thin and I have a loop of it on my desk in front of the mouse pad, so I don't feel any resistance from the cable at all. It's just like my mouse was wireless. If that wasn't the case, I'd get a mouse bungee.
And yeah, Bluetooth headphones have moronicly high latency, you can have more latency between the computer and the headphones than between two ends of a video call on two different sides of the country. You have to get pro quality non-Bluetooth equipment to get low latency. So I use Sony studio headphones with 3 m of coiled cable.
Ok but what does this cartoon child have to do with it?
She uses a wireless mouse
The child is an irrelevant time-wasting question. Or was it the other one?
Bluetooth flaw discovered one day, allowing anyone to snoop into your PC with a one click app from a phone.
Just because you wanted to remove a simple wire

No point trying to reason with them, this is one thing the majority agrees on. It's mindbogglingly moronic that they don't grasp that when it blinks after a month or so, you are forced to use it as a wired mouse for some hours while it charges. Or charge it while you sleep.
When you go wireless, the tethering feeling of the resistance to movement a wired one causes feels very icky.
But I guess these morons use a mini mousepad, with extreme sensitivity so they don't notice it, but they are destined to become ballmouse users down the line. The worst kind of morons, because for some reason when they switch to a stationary ballmouse they go wireless often.
>tethering feeling of the resistance to movement
Lmao, you are not only a moron, you must have msucular dystrophy.
i bet et you love your led mouse bungee
>he isn't his own mouse bungee
Seriously though, just plug it into your monitor, most of them include USB hubs these days, and then leave a loop of slack on your desk.
what battery chemistry?
cheaper
hows the battery of wireless g502
boomers dont know
It's cheaper
because they run out of battery at the most inopportune times
you can cope by saying well actually we keep it charged when we need it but eventually theres going to be an accident. there always is.
mine starts warning you days in advance
ok let me know when you inevitably ignore it one day then forget about it and it runs out of battery (always happens)
why is the car so large

I don't think you know what those words mean.

Why would you drink out of a teacup in a car? It would just spill everywhere when you stop or go. Anime and manga are dumb.
that's why you hire a good driver
I think you mean a good writer who wouldn't come up with this idea.

Your mouse battery dying in the middle of a boss fight only has to happen once before you go back to corded.
I couldn't help but notice. The perspective in this image is all fricked up. The weird lighting. Who drew this shit?
uoooohhh!
I bought mine when wireless mice weren't much of a thing yet (annoying chargers, batteries etc), and it still works perfectly. It's 13 years old now.
why should i? wireless mice cost more for nothing. after my wireless mouse shattered (fricking razer) i started using an old wmo and it just werks
>it drags
get a mouse bungie
is that the electric rolls royce with the starry night sky on the ceiling?
momoka ToT
what was the question
>Your mouse battery dying in the middle of a boss fight only has to happen once before you go back to corded.
my g502 doesn't do this (it charges wirelessly through the mouse pad)
these are only problems with low end shitty mice. you can keep your wired mouse, i mean theres nothing wrong with it, and in fact it's going to be cheaper, but low end wired mice suck just as much as low end wireless ones. you can't call an entire technology bad by only looking at the cheapest, shittiest versions of it.
You may own an expensive mouse but I own a house. Checkmate zoom zoom.
zoomer btfo
my ranch doesn't have this problem! (I also own a suburban house that I rent out to help pay off the ranch)
Skip paying your mortgage or taxes and see how long you “own” it, boomer.

Why is that?
A friend of mine has his battle station as wireless as possible because he's a millenial, I cannot fathom how he copes with all the gadget homosexualry he's into even after one of his touch sensitive lights fell down smacking his laptop "wow, it's the first time that glue fails on me"
There is no wireless version of the logitech g600

I use Loonix. Bluetooth doesn't just work
I'm half ready to use a wired mouse. tired of random disconnects.
momoka ToT
you're gonna have to replace that battery someday you frickin' shill
the scroll wheel on my last mouse died before the battery did. that was after 4+ years. I bought the same mouse again.
and? I don't expect everything I own to last forever, that is incredibly unrealistic. I expect I'll be made to upgrade as USB type A becomes impossible to use long before the battery becomes an issue. In fact, I'm going to replaxe my g502 lightspeed with the g502X very soon.
you know what, you're right! I have had the g502 hero since 2016 and the lightspeed since 2019, I've gotten mixed up. well, i've had the lightspeed for almost 5 years and the battery is still lasting a week, which is about what it lasted when it was new, meaning that even despite being "on charge" for nearly it's entire lifespan, it still has excellent battery life! FWIW i run it on the highest polling rate, i'm sure if you dropped that down it would last even longer.
I've tried several wireless mice and keyboards and went back to wired. Wireless is good for stuff like headsets and mobile phones and VR headsets and electric guitars. Oh wait, did you want to shitpost?
I value not needing to recharge/replace a battery more than having clean aesthetics.
>true! but my g502's battery has lasted me 8 years constantly on charge and still lasts for a full week of use!
the g502 lightspeed released less than 5 years ago. homosexual.
I use wireless btw.
I spend my entire day juggling batteries
I like my home PC to just werk without me setting something to charge or worrying about dead batteries
Why would I bother with another shitty gadget to charge when I don't take the mouse away from my desk anyway?
I bet you play online games over wifi too
>it charges wirelessly through the thing connected with wires
Eat the rich
have a nice day, redditor.
Even IQfy agrees with it though
>he doesn't have the g502 x plus
cope and seethe at my superiority
I'm tired of fricking batteries. The power source is right there. I just want a wire.
They don't make good trackballs with good wireless controllers yet, and my boomer hands are too wrecked to use a regular mouse all the time.
Also I didn't trust wireless. It's a liability in terms of function and security, and there's no functional benefit to a wireless keyboard or mouse in a traditional desktop.
>t.
Never had a problem with my wireless mouse but they keyboard can be pretty shit with input delay at times. However, 95% of the time it's fine and it's worth not having the wires shitting up my desk space. Also makes video games more challenging when you lose controls for 5 seconds randomly.
I don't like replacing batteries?
How do I become the girl in the pic?
>buy wireless keyboard
>it works, but connection will randomly drop for 5 seconds twice a day at random times so I can't completely trust my keyboard
>have to change the batteries
not fricking dealing with that shit
That's either the same model or mine is the newer one. Exact one i had this problem with. Fricking drops connection for 5 seconds randomly. Unusable.
Bluetooth sucks dick so I don't think it gets much better.
I agree I need to upgrade, I have wired zowie mouse !! but you need brains to replace batteries and make sure your mouse doesn’t die.
I think Logitech makes sick wireless mouse with zero latency atleast you won’t notice it even s1mple uses one the guy from the game counter strike for the Linux virgins who don’t know….
unless you have a wireless charger I dont see a the point in a wireless mouse
I just don't want one
>a heavier mouse is a better mouse!
No it isn't. Weight is one of the two reasons I use a wired mouse. The other is reliability/durability.
I use a Logitech M-BJ69, a mouse from the early 2000s, which still works perfectly after 20 years. I laugh everytime I see a post complaining about doubleclicking.
What advantage does the wireless mouse have other than being more expensive, having more input latency and possible interference issues?
I agree, I'd been using G502s for years, but the switch quality was outrageous with some of the later models, so I got a G903 instead
It literally works just as well, anyone who claims to notice a difference in latency is a genuine schizophrenic
>"b-but you have to charge it!"
Yes. Every 2 weeks or so for an hour, boo fricking hoo
I only use a wireless mouse for my laptop since it's easier to transport. Otherwise I don't see the point in using one for a desktop that's never going to move.
For my desktop pc, wired mice don't cause me the slightest inconvenience. I'll just keep using the one I have.
