Wired vs Wireless Peripherals

http://live.pirillo.com/ - Vince wants to know what's better: wired or wireless peripherals. In come cases wired, but in some cases wireless. This all depends on your personal preference and how much you're willing to spend on your peripherals.

For some people aesthetics is paramount, and having a bunch of wires cluttering up the desk is a big no-no (as is the case for Ponzi). Of course, going wireless means dealing with batteries: the cheaper wireless devices will require you to supply your own batteries, while the more expensive devices will come with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery pack.

If you're a gamer and you need absolutely perfect performance out of your peripherals, you'll probably either go with a wired solution, or you'll spend a large amount of money on a wireless solution.

On the other hand, you could go with a third solution: both wired and wireless, as Chris has. His wired aluminum keyboard gives him an excellent response time and allows two USB devices to be plugged into the keyboard, while his wireless mouse hives him the freedom to move the mouse around without any major cord tangles.

What do you use: wired or wireless?
