I really wish other PC guys would stop being like

"noooooo you don't understand there's a 10 millisecond lag time with wireless so it's LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE TRASH, no I don't care that's about 1/10th as long as it takes you to blink, I totally notice it and it ruins it for me!!!!!!"

It really seems like some people only get enjoyment from the idea of having the best possible version of something and being elitist about it. Rather than just enjoying their thing that plays games for what it is.

This wasn't meant to be the point of the meme at all. Wireless keyboards and mice have overcome the issues that made them objectively worse than their wired counterparts (latency and accuracy). Unfortunately though with wireless headphones you either get low latency or good audio quality, and I'm yet to find headphones that do both well. At the moment I have WH-1000XM4s I use for music at work and ATH-M50Xs I use for games. If I could get the best of both worlds I absolutely would, but it seems like every good sounding wireless headphones have awful latency that's too jarring to ignore when playing games.

Arctic Pro Wireless headset might be expensive but they use proprietary WiFi signal from their receiver to the headphones that makes response time so fast, the latency is a non issue and almost equivalent to a cable connection.
