Your thoughts on using a wireless mouse "wired"..

[Ricketysprokets]

According to reviewers, it seems all the top gaming mice these days are wireless. They must also support 8k polling... I've bought a half dozen or more of these highly rated mice over the past 2 years. All of these wireless mice can be used while plugged in with it's USB cable.

It just kind of struck me that wouldn't I be better off or get the absolute best response time just using these mice plugged in? I have a mouse bungee so it's not like I have struggles with the wire when playing a multiplayer FPSer.

considering none are slower when plugged in, I feel the wireless is more a convenience. Its a choice. Main reason I use one is the distance I am from PC makes it easier than using an extension cord or a USB hub

Its cheaper to buy a non wireless mouse if you plan on using it plugged in, there is slightly less latency with wired as well. Its not a massive difference as wireless has caught up. The wired mice can also be lighter as no battery to deal with.

Can actually have rgb on wired mice as its not a drain on a battery, unlike wireless. If that matters. My Aerox 5 runs out of charge real quick if I leave rgb on. As does my keyboard.

Why so many mice in such a short time? When I replaced my last mouse last year I already felt like it was too soon as had only bought previous a few years before.
