I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve been using my computer and thought to myself “this is nice, but, I wish I could do this same thing, but from further than 12’ away so I can squint.”
Who are these people that need to be “untethered” while using a computer. Laptop, I can see.
It’s not about being far away. It’s about not having the drag of the cord pulling on the mouse or potentially snagging. It makes a difference in games.
Latency of modern wireless mice is imperceptible, especially with proper receiver placement. My keyboard has a USB port on the top edge to plug the mouse receiver into so they’re right next to each other.
If it’s always plugged in anyway… Why bother? Wired mice are cheaper for the same quality compared to wireless
Plugged in whenever it’s not in use. Unplugged while in use. That keeps it charged but lets you be untethered while using it.

To each their own I suppose.
i have an old pc hooked up to my tv for emulation and piracy. it’s nice to use from across the room.
Ah, yeah. Okay that’s fair.
This is now not a situation where it’s just sitting at your desk though… I was referring to when it only sits at your desk, obviously…
And Hathaway was asking why people use wireless interfaces. Which I answered. I’m not sure what you’re point is with this.
