i guess some people are too young to remember wired mouses
I only use wired. Batteries and charging suck.
Wired vs. wireless is whatever works for you, but no one misses balled mice. No one.
Whoops! Big mistake buddy, you said something on the internet. Now we’re gonna fight! I miss balled mice. How ‘bout them apples? Nothing is as satisfying as cleaning the lint out of those things was
Like they said, nobody.
I will concede only in the fact that it made me look like a miracle worker to my parents when I “fixed” their mouse that had stopped working with my magic.
On the other hand, the Christmas I gave them an LED mouse was peak level for all of us.
I still use them exclusively lol
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.)
I used to live with a cat that chewed on cables. Other devices could have protective sleeves on the cables, but for the mouse that wasn’t readonable. So that’s the only reason I know for having a wireless mouse.
I think the main selling point was less the mobility and more that the cord didn’t get caught on things. Still not a huge concern, imo.
I actually do this. I have a small power bank I keep the mouse hooked up to, and when it falls low enough it taps into it. Every few weeks or even a month I recharge the bank up. But wires being a problem will depend on your setup and desk real estate. This doesn’t bother me, but having a wired keyboard would lose some space, so I’m glad for my wireless there. And that’s even less of a hassle, as it’s still running off the original batteries it came with years (and years!) ago. Makes sense, there is very little power usage there being a boring old Logitech non-backlit keyboard.
I work tech support. And I’m often working in weird or cramped places on site with my laptop.
I hate using the touchpad! So I always bring a wireless mouse.
It’s a lot more convenient than a wired one.
Also, I can connect the laptop to a TV and watch movies from streaming sites, using the mouse as a remote while I’m on the couch.
I bet you still have a mousepad and have to clean your balls on occasion
I know it’s Lewis Black, but I’m still not gonna watch a video
i mean, it’s social media, i didn’t reply just for you to see
What are you talking about? This is my playground.
But seriously, a significant number of us aren’t going to watch a video, even if it has the promise of high quality as I purposefully indicated.
I highly prefer a wireless mouse, but only if does also come with a wire.
Computer mice is an area where females have completely displaced males.
I’ve not seen a male mouse at work in a long time.
Hamsters do have tails though. /UmAckchually
It doesn’t have fur so it’s a naked mole rat
