Why Should I Buy a Wired Mouse?

In a word: simplicity. Yes, wireless computer mice have gotten especially good, but it's still hard to beat just how easy it is to use good ol' wired computer mice and how reliable they are. Hook a wired mouse up to a computer's USB port and you're good to go. No need to worry about pairing it with your computer's internal Bluetooth adapter, checking to see if something's interrupting its signal, or anything like that.

A wired mouse will work flawlessly straight out of the box. Most don't come with any additional software, either. You can see this as a positive or a negative, depending on whether you prefer to keep your computer's background processes, or 'bloat', to a minimum. If you want to change the sensitivity of one of these software-less wired mice, you'll have to do it through the operating system itself.

No Battery, No Recharging

And, of course, a wired mouse doesn't need to be recharged. As covered on the wireless mice page, the battery lives of today's wireless mice are seriously impressive. You're not look at tens of hours' worth of run time off a single AA battery or full charge, but rather hundreds.

No matter how long the battery life, however, a wireless mouse will always eventually run out of juice. As we all know, there is never a convenient time to lose power. It can be a major inconvenience if you're, say, working on-the-go or in the middle of a competitive game. It's why many still prefer a wired gaming mouse, even though the technology of modern wireless gaming mice is just as fast and, arguably, better for twitchy, fast-paced titles.

So, if you'd rather not have to think about whether your mouse has enough charge to see you through the day, a wired mouse is still the most dependable option. What's more, wired mice can be lighter than wireless ones because they don't contain heavy batteries. This has a number of advantages for gaming, but it also means that wired mice are less fatiguing over hours-long sessions.
