I use the wireless mouse, just so easy and no wires at all which is always good. Also quite surprised how long the batteries last in the wireless mouse. Wires should be banned.

well I use my wireless mouse keyboard etc for gaming, I have my laptop or desktop connected to my plasma tv in the living room, if I had wires to my mouse or keyboard I would have to sit close to the tv, with my wireless mouse and keyboard, I can sit on the sofa and kick butt lol,

I think that overall, wireless mouse's are superior. However, some computer models are difficult to use w/ wireless mouse's, because the USB plug-drives and in "blind spots", or uneasily accessible areas, which can actually cut of the signal of the mouse. Otherwise, wireless is superior.

i am using the conventional mouse (with USB cable). if i use the wireless mouse, i have to buy a receiver and that would not be so practical. i am fine with my USB mouse, it works good.

I recently had to change my old mouse which worked well for around two years. I checked various sites to compare the prices. Most of the prices were in the range of Rs.500 - Rs.5000. Cordless mouse being in the higher price range. I went to the local computer peripheral shop. To my amazement they were selling a mouse for Rs.149. This saved me a lot of cash and the mouse work very well. I don't see much advantage of spending too much money on cordless mouse.

I use the conventional optical mouse with wires I have never used a wireless mouse so I have no idea what it would be like. I suppose it would be nice though not having to worry about always getting the wires all tangled up! I am almost positive next time I get a mouse I will try the wireless one.

i do prefer having a wirless mouse because it clears space a little, what with the mouse wire and everything, and you can move the mouse around freely. But the conventional opitical mouse is alright aswell, im not too bothered whichever one, but i do prefer using a wireless mouse, much better! :)

I use a laptop, so usually do most of my work with the touch pad. However, for playing games, I do use mouse at times. I use a traditional wired mouse. Its OK with me. The wireless one is also not that bad, except changing batteries and all.

I have a conventional optical but would like to switch to a wireless when I get the chance. I'd also like to get a keyboard that lights up but that won't be for awhile. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]

I have two computers at home. One uses the wireless keyboard and mouse, while the other uses wired versions. If you ask me, I prefer the wireless ones because I can move my keyboard and mouse anywhere within proximity of my CPU, something I can't have all the freedom to do with wired versions of keyboard and mouse.

Wireless is cool but i am using a wired optical mouse for less than years or more. I love it because still working and I am very comfortable using it. I really wish I could get a wireless mouse. It is very expensive around here and many preferred using e conventional optical mouse with mouse because it is very cheap.

I don't think optical mouse is the best solution. It too have serious problem. Wireless is sometimes not safe. Because I think their sensors are vulnerable to mobile frequencies and can damage it permanently. I am expecting a much better solution

This basically depends on the purpose of your using a mouse...for entertainment setups a wireless mouse and keyboard set is preferable coz u can work them frm a distance without getting up frm ur couch.... for normal use wired mouse is cumbersome but works fine...... wired mouse is generally preferred by gamers coz of their low latency and quick response time...personally i like wired mouse coz i play a lot of games and could not live wid the lag that the wireless mouse/keyboard set account for......

I have recently bought another mouse and I preferred the one with wire, I don't know why but I still hadn't heard good things about wireless mouses. I was told that with time they will not be good anymore.

HI jimmy I still use the conventional optical mouse lol even though I had a choice between a wireless and a wired one lol... I can also use my touchpad or the touch screen feature of my laptop but I am more comfy using a mouse. I like the wired ones because I don't need to turn my bluetooth on which most of the time give notification of blutooth signals from cellphones detected nearby. it's kinda annoying hahaha... And I don't have to worry about some problems some of my friends and wireless users encounter when using these wireless hybrid mice...

i like my wireless one. it has it's own sleep mode so i don't ruin or run the battery down. i hate the cords with the other kind. i like the wireless one because i really don't have to be at my computer desk to use the mouse. i also like a wireless keyboard for the same reason.

Wireless is better for conventional use, but are sometimes unreliable w/ the possibility of disconnecting. However, wired is better for gaming bacuse they almost never fail.
