I use wireless headphones nearly exclusively now but hate wireless mice and keyboards....
... why?
In my case, I really hate charging the keyboard. My Corsair keyboard stops working when it's fully charged, what? But it only lasts two days on battery so I'm constantly plugging and unplugging it, turning it on and off (otherwise the cat might drain the entire battery by taking a nap on it)
I might as well have a wired keyboard if I have to charge so often. It barely works from 10 feet away, not like I can game from the couch
The best wireless option is still a dongle, longer range and better latency management. One like logi unifying dongle can connect multiple devices.
5ms Bluetooth latency is quite a few years away. The charging and backup has gotten better recently.
I heard the unifying dongle adds latency, though
My Logitech wireless can work both plugged and unplugged, can connect to multiple computers at the same time and battery charge lasts for weeks.
It works plugged, but not if the battery is full
That's fair. I don't have a real use case for a wireless keyboard either, but the one I have isn't particularly inconvenient. I would just leave it plugged in, and unplug it if I ever needed it to be wireless.
