Wireless :smt003 but one bad thing about it is, is amount of batteries you have to change :smt011 . Though, I rather have freedom, lying in bed, that sort of stuff/ So yeah, wireless

Wireless - no tangling of cables

I prefer wired since most wireless keyboards have the problem of LOS.

LOS??

LOS means? ? ?

I preferred wireless because in wired often my coke slips on the wire ..

Line of Sight......

SO, do you mean to say If the mouse is not in LOS, then it won't be deducted ?

Wireless, it's easier, cable free and lets you use it anywhere in the room [almost].

@Java_Execption: My keyboard dosen't have any line of sight problems, I can use it even with the receiver behind the PC.

I think older keyboards do have this problem, though.

I usually like wired because its a faster response time. Sometimes i can feel the lag when i used my wireless mouse.

definetly wired mouse and keyboard for me. i dont ever need to worry or even think about changing the batteries. wires dont get tangled if you put it in the right places.

For mice I prefer wireless, but I don't find wireless keyboards to have much of a drawback. I don't mind changing batteries for one device, but i wouldn't like changing both keyboard and mouse batteries.

I don't really care if it's either. I have a Logitech MX Laser mouse--it's absolutely great. I've never noticed any lag with wireless mice. As for keyboards, I've used a wireless keyboard, but not with gaming. I didn't notice any lag with it though. Besides, the signal is traveling at the speed of light to the receiver, and then that signal is interpreted in near real-time, so I highly doubt that anyone can tell the difference between a good wireless mouse and a corded mouse or keyboard. Note the key word is "good." It's just like people buying a more expensive LCD monitor because it has 8ms response time instead of 16ms response time. In either case, you won't notice the difference. However, like I said, with cheap mouse or keyboards that are wireless, one might notice a lag, but I think that has more to do with the specific components (and also power-saving features), and not so much to do with the principle of a wireless mouse or keyboard.

In theory, a good wireless mouse should be "faster" than a corded mouse. The signal from the mouse has to travel through electrical wires to the connection of the computer--which is much slower than the speed of light. However, no one will notice a difference--which is how silly the discussion of wireless vs. wired is.

I have to say batteries are an issue with wireless products. I have a bluetooth apple mouse for my ibook which is bluetooth, I tend to just use the trackpad though, and on my PC I have a wireless mouse and fingerprint reader on the USB part of it. But I have a wired Aluminium Keyboard. Dad used to have wireless kb and mouse but his mouse died so he is all wired up now. I guess it dont really matter what you use but why get wireless if your gonna spill stuff on it and stuff, wired kb and mice are just like £6 now.
