Wireless Mice and Wireless Keyboard are a no for me.

Not because of latency, but because of the annoyance of needing to charge them.

I technically have a wireless mouse, that I just keep wired perpetually.

Wireless sounds nice because it's clean, but it's terrible to use because of the nature of a battery being finite.

I wish they made open wireless. I know you lose quality in wireless but I love the sound stage.

Oooh! Thank you. Those are the first I've seen. Going to look into reviews and see if the GW-100x will work for me.

I loved my porta pros as a teenager. But my god the wireless solution is atrocious. A closed loop headset? Why the hell didn’t they put those things inside the hollow plastic temple rests….

Ironically, if they were analog wireless, thered be no latency at all

So basically radio? It would still be limited by the speed of light, you would have nanoseconds (or microseconds?) of latency!

Wired head phones are also limited by the speed of light

You have a pretty noticeable fidelity drop when going over radio waves, though. Any pro audio devices like wireless microphones or IEMs will go over radio waves, though. Works fine for on stage use but isn't ideal in other settings.

Hm, my houses "garden" is to far away for that anyway.
