I agree with optical, cordless no. I don't like replacing batteries.

Rechargeable cells alleviate such a concern.

They have to be recharged.


More importantly, harder to lose a corded mouse.

Oh, come on! Anybody who'sthat absentminded, has greater problems than
a mere mouse.

Yes I can be oblivious to my surroundings. That is not being
absentminded. I never said I was perfect. When I had my office one of
the cleaning people moved my waste basket to the other side of my desk.
I ended up with a pile of papers where the basket used to be.


The only cordless device I use is my Wacom pen.

In 2001, I'd bought a Wacom "Graphire" (mouse, pen and tablet set) and a
"Jam Studio" graphics tablet. I didn't use either one, beyond that year;
maybe, I'll dig 'em out, someday.


Once I got used to it, I wouldn't be without one.
