    Plugged in whenever it’s not in use. Unplugged while in use. That keeps it charged but lets you be untethered while using it.

      I’ve never been in a situation where I’ve been using my computer and thought to myself “this is nice, but, I wish I could do this same thing, but from further than 12’ away so I can squint.”

      Who are these people that need to be “untethered” while using a computer. Laptop, I can see.

        It’s not about being far away. It’s about not having the drag of the cord pulling on the mouse or potentially snagging. It makes a difference in games.

          Latency makes a difference in games. Cable management sounds like it’s needed in this case.

            Latency of modern wireless mice is imperceptible, especially with proper receiver placement. My keyboard has a USB port on the top edge to plug the mouse receiver into so they’re right next to each other.

          This is now not a situation where it’s just sitting at your desk though… I was referring to when it only sits at your desk, obviously…
