Why the fuck does anyone use a wired computer mouse when wireless ones exist? They literally work just as well.
>>100160535My wired mouse still works and I'm not going to consoom and buy another mouse just because it's wireless.
it just works
>>100160535weird in what way?
Wireless GPUs exist too. Do you use one, OP?
>>100160535>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.
>>100160535It'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
>latency>battery>easy to lose dongleWhat the fuck 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.
>>100160535I'm not a zoomer afraid of cables.
>>100160535wireless: 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
>>100160586Wireless just works as well and doesn't have disadvantages of having a wire, so what's the issue?
>>100160760Wired just works as well and doesn't have disadvantages of having batteries, so what's the issue?
>>100160535Because my mouse is a stationary trackball and the wire makes no difference to me.
>>100160984the only sane defense of wired cursor input devices in this thread other than battery lifelatency has been removed in higher end mice ($25+ dollars)
>>100160535The 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.
>>100160535Ok but what does this cartoon child have to do with it?

>>100161026She uses a wireless mouse
>>100160535No point trying to reason with them, this is one thing the majority agrees on. It's mindbogglingly retarded 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 retards 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 retards, because for some reason when they switch to a stationary ballmouse they go wireless often.

>>100160535I value not needing to recharge/replace a battery more than having clean aesthetics.
>>100166508the scroll wheel on my last mouse died before the battery did. that was after 4+ years. I bought the same mouse again.

Simple as.
>>100160535Why would I bother with another shitty gadget to charge when I don't take the mouse away from my desk anyway?
>>100166508and? 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.>>100166766you 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.

>>100160535They 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.
>>100162054then she'd have to get naked to change her clothes :^)
>>100160535>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.
>>100160535I don't like replacing batteries?

>>100166783Yeah, fuck people designing infrastructure
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….

>>100160535unless you have a wireless charger I dont see a the point in a wireless mouse
I just don't want one
>>100165164>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.
>>100165164>consoom more, the post
>>100160611i'm not even going to dignify this retardation of a post with a full answer. get help anon, and that's a sincere advice.
>>100161021I 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 latencyYou 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 fucking retarded 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.
>>100160535What advantage does the wireless mouse have other than being more expensive, having more input latency and possible interference issues?
>>100170289>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.
>>100168204Kill yourself, redditor.
>>100171265If 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 retardedly 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.
>>100162324i bet et you love your led mouse bungee
>>100172818>he isn't his own mouse bungee
>>100160535I 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 insteadIt 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 fucking hoo
>>100172818>>100173158Seriously 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.
>>100172652Even /g/ agrees with it though
>>100160535I 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.
