I have to ask, how far away do you like to be from your computer because I've never seen the advantage of a wireless keyboard and mouse. They just sit in front of the screen all the time, It's not like I'm going to take them to the coffee shop or something.

what you or I do is not really relevant, clearly lots of people do see the value in wireless devices. and lots of people do take wireless mice along with their laptops on the go.

Oh yeah I've seen them.

They about 1 inch away from their laptop screens. What I'm saying is I don't think I've ever seen anyone actually use the wireless functionality of a wireless mouse in any way other than being within the same reach of a cable connection

Depends on how many devices you have, for example I use the keyboard on my iPad instead of having an iPad keyboard case. I leave the keyboard plugged into the studio display as mentioned in another post to allow for me to quickly switch between devices that use that display and the keyboard instantly switches between them because it’s plugged in. I use a plugged in Anker vertical mouse as well because, there’s no interference.

The M1 Mac Studio computer itself sits about 3 feet away from my desk along with all of the other components connected to it, the thunderbolt cable that connects to the Studio Display is the only thing that comes to the desk.
