Wireless mice are fine. The ones that aren't stupidly designed like Apple's have the connector on the front, so when plugged in it's just like a wired mouse.

I find it's nice not to have that wire on my desktop, it would keep bumping on other stuff I like to have close.

It is possible to avoid wires for the graphic pointer, without requiring batteries or wireless connections, by replacing the mouse with a stylus and a graphic tablet (configured in the "relative" mode).

This substitution has the additional benefits that a stylus is much more comfortable, faster and more precise than a mouse.

Playing PC games with a stylus would be an interesting experience.

not very good for games though, and i think comfort might be debatable/user preference
