The Like/Hate Thread

[Anzekay]

I argued that the wired mouse's cord can get tangled (which is has for me) as well as being a safety hazard (trip over cords, tangle itself with other cords, etc). The wireless mouse takes up less space and is easier to maneuver. The people I argued with seemed to ignore those points while simultaneously pointing out that wireless eats up batteries (also ignoring the glorious invention of chargeable devices/batteries). I dunno, I see a clear winner in wireless unless you're like MLG pro gamers where fractions of a second matter to winning or losing. That's like what, 100 very specific people?

They can get tangled, yes, but most good quality mice have cords that are semi-rigid and don't tangle so it wont always be an issue. If you're putting a mouse in a place where a cord would be something you can trip over, then you don't have it at the desk and should probably be using a wireless anything (which I did mention!). I don't really see how a wire takes up that much room, especially if you have a wired keyboard, headphones, speakers, etc on your desk anyway.

I don't really see how a wireless mouse is a 'clear' winner, honestly. I think the differences are so minor that imo if you're using it at the desk, use a wired, and if you're using it away from the desk, use a wireless. Other than that, personal preference.
