I have a labtec wired optical mouse pro (basically a mouse with the standard 2 button and scroll wheel design and then two smaller buttons for internet navigation and such) and a Trust pen tablet with a pen and wireless mouse (the mouse can't be used off of the tablet though, so it's still restricted).
I have a wireless mouse somewhere, but all the wireless mice I have used have had problems (such as connection faults or charging / battery requirements).
I'd also probably lose the damned thing if it wasn't wired :/

Notice the part where Nuvo said "charging/battery requirements". If their one of the problems youve been having with your wireless mice then I got news for you :D All wireless mice have got some sort of battery in them... so I guess your going to have trouble with every wireless mouse out there ;)

Well, my first wireless mouse was ok, but was powered by AA betteries and it had no charger.
This meant that I'd have to mess about changing batteries when the stupid thing died and if you've got no spare batteries, you're buggered.
My other wireless mouse did have a charger, but it screwed up and refused to charge the mouse... but I hated that mouse anyway because it had the added buttons like my currecnt one, but their size and placement caused me to press them accidentally whenever the mose was picked up (they were on the side and quite easy to press, unlike those on my current mouse which are rather stiff, small and located just behind the scroll wheel).

Logitech UltraX mouse + UltraX keyboard, no need for wireless, I just don't like wireless stuff...

How can you not like wireless stuff? Its much better. Frees up your desk a bit and you can move around more...

I priced up a new iMac a couple days ago. Only $40 extra for Wireless Keyboard + Mouse. I would have taken them up on that had I actually bought the thang. :)
