    Everyone makes the argument of worrying about charging it, but the cable is still there… Like, when it’s low you plug it in and play as if it was wired. I play casually and plug mine in once every other week (HyperX).

    For me it’s great because I hate the wire getting in the way but not everyone is bothered by that so to each their own.

      I make the argument that its unnecessary to put a battery in a thing that will move within one square meter for the rest of its lifetime… I just don’t see the positive of a wireless anything on a pc that is wired. A laptop might be a different story, but a tower PC is literally just standing in at place and you can lay the cable nice so it’s not making problems.

        I guess for me I also move my tower a lot, several times a year between states, so wireless technology really makes that less painful.

        I thought that too, but now I have a wireless mouse, keyboard, and ear buds and it’s amazing. You never have to worry about the slight tension from a cord, or what the cord will bump into. Complete freedom. The battery on my Logitech keyboard lasts about 3 months before it needs to be recharged.

        Cables take a lot of space. And this space can be used for better purposes.

          I clip my cables to the back of my monitor. Like USB cables for instance. Makes it out of sight normally and easy to access when I need it.

            I have a lot of stuff at the back of the monitor, no place for cables.

        Even though I use a desktop I still don’t think I could ever swap back to wired headphones. I frequently get up for a variety of reasons and keeping my music playing or continuing to chat with my friends is great. I briefly had to use a wired headset again and I nearly pulled the cable out a few times from getting up.
