My mouse is definitely on its last legs and I've started watching for sales to pick up a new one. My main question is not which mouse to get, but wired or wireless?

I like the concept of wireless, but it spooks me out because I assume there will be latency or consistency issues. So I'm wondering how other people's experience with them have been? Had any problems or a flawless experience, and if so what mouse and when?

You're always gonna run into things like interference. I use the Logitech Ergo M575, on a Mac. It has a receiver for wireless, or it can do Bluetooth. So I have it on Bluetooth. Sometimes it lags. When I had a Windows machine, I used the adapter, but now ports are at a premium and I don't have a dock, so I just went Bluetooth. The adapter is a good choice for Logitech, especially if you have multiple parts, since one receiver can support several devices (you don't need one for each).

My keyboard is also Bluetooth though, and it has zero issues. They're both about 18" from the Mac (which sits above my monitor on a shelf). Keyboard is also wired, but I think when the switch is on BT, it only uses the wire to keep itself charged. If I pull the plug, it'll run for a while without needing to be plugged in, but I have no reason to rely on the battery.
