The mouse buttons tend to go long before the keyboard, but wireless HID devices tend to be a consumable for most people that use their computer a lot.

We issue the wireless keyboards/mice kit as it is cheaper than swapping a proprietary keyboard in your laptop, and less likely to give users an RSI (really not funny if you are a Jr and have to learn this the painful way.) =3

why not a corded one, if you'll always be using it with a laptop?

In general, for mobile these can get broken up rather quickly, and increase probability of pulling a laptop off a table.

For servers and desktop towers, a cabled solution is more secure... and never runs out of batteries. YMMV =3
