The headset stuff I 100% agree with. Unless I’m going to be stationary and listen to music very intentionally. There is a noticeable hit to audio quality over bt (if your files are HQ enough)

I may be an old-school Luddite for it, but I’ve never understood the advantage of wireless peripherals beyond aesthetics. I want something slightly heavy that feels good in the hand, and I want to plug it in, have it just start working natively and not have to worry about extra drivers or a battery dying.
It would be one thing if there were a universal dongle that you just left plugged in, but all the ones I’ve encountered are proprietary and specific to the brand or model if not that specific mouse. So if you lose the thing, you now have basically a paperweight.
I had a Microsoft mouse once that was a good compromise in that it came with an optional USB c cable. It also didn’t use a dongle and just operated via Bluetooth. It was heavy AF and had nice haptics on the scroll wheel. But, in true Microsoft fashion it was completely dead after 2 years of heavy daily use.

Same here. But they’ve all been wired mid-range models. My current ones are on their 7th year. And I don’t use the software. I may be too poor and not elite enough to experience these issues.

Yeah this pisses me off as well. And TVs now are much bigger and wider, too. Back in the day we’d split screen on whatever we had, which was more often than not an almost-square CRT with not much screen space to begin with!
