Why not just use a wired mouse then you won't need to worry about
batteries? I've never seen the point of wireless mice and keybaords unless
you do presentations standing 10 foot from the machine.

Ever tried one? *I use one because it's nice not getting the cable
tangled all the time regardless of where it's positioned.

I see less benefit from wireless keyboards, though.

I can't see the point of either, given that they need a power supply
(batteries) which hugely increases the hassle, and what do you do when
you need it on a Sunday night and they run out?

If they didn't take up a USB slot with the aerial thing, there might
just be a benefit in freeing slots, but I can't see one at all.
