    I love a wireless mouse, since I realised it lasts much longer than a cheap wired mouse in my hands: because the cable eventually frays at the mouse end. (I do a lot of travelling.)

    A cheap-ish wireless mouse with a single AA battery is easier to use, less hassle, and cheaper in the long run.

    I haven’t yet found a cheap wireless keyboard I like (except the tiny one I got for my Pi years ago, which is great for its use but not for normal everyday typing), and I don’t have enough use case to try an expensive one over just using my laptop keyboard.

    Wireless headsets… I’d like to like one, but the battery issue, plus the price, plus the lag… I still use wired earphones for now.

      Yeah, this goes to show that wires vs batteries is circumstantial. The physical inconvenience of wires really matters when you’re travelling.

      I have to say it took me a week to figure out how to pair the bluetooth headset i bought…
