So I think I'm one of the few humans left that uses a wired keyboard and mouse. Is there anyone else out there?

Post pics if you can. I use an old logitech optical mouse that's rather small and has three buttons. I also use an old Dell keyboard.

Both of mine are wired. I feel like the wireless is too much of a hassle with batteries and shit

Agreed but sometimes the mouse cord really pisses me off. However, I just love the simple, low profile 3-button mouse. Don't care much for an N-button mouse that I have to envelope my hand around to use.

Laptop keyboard + bluetooth mouse.

Scroll wheel clicks left and right, and the hacked version of the Logitech software that lets you make any button do anything is godlike.

Wired for both, G15 keyboard (got it for $70) and an mx518. Been using them both for three years now.

At work I use a wired dell keyboard and the Logitech VX Revolution, which I love.

I'm currently sporting the new Apple wired keyboard.

User-posted image

I type much faster on laptops and this is such a great way to bring that advantage to the standard PC. The reason I bought it is that it has a USB port on each side toward the top (right underneath ESC and F19 on the underside). That really gives you alot of options to plug other things into it. For people like me who love a complicated wired mouse for first person shooters, it lets you connect it right next to your keyboard to allow for more slack. Anyone who draws with a Wacom tablet will absolutely want that extra range to lean back with it on their lap or move around in their seat. I really recommend that you guys play around with one at a Best Buy sometime.

Wired on both counts.

If I had a wireless mouse, I'd probably lose it like a portable phone. At least those have a page feature. Either that or the dog would carry it off and start use it as a high-tech chew toy.
