Friend of mine definitely did some couch typing on a TV-connected macbook in his tiny studio. Anyway, I agree that wireless isn&#x27;t essential but I&#x27;d personally prefer it because I tend to use a mouse with my MBP half of the time. Putting a wired mouse in my bag vs just a mouse, then taking it out and connecting it with a cable in a coffeeshop.. it&#x27;s just not as convenient as just throwing a wireless mouse in your bag and taking it out.<p>Beyond that it&#x27;s a bit cleaner on the desktop. I don&#x27;t mind the look of a wire (actually I&#x27;ve never really used a wireless mouse because I don&#x27;t care about the look, and the convenience isn&#x27;t worth the money for me), but for example right now I have a notepad laying ontop of my wire, behind my MBP, behind my mouse, that&#x27;s weighing down on the cable making it heavier to move the mouse. So I have to put the notepad below the cable, and then grab it from under the cable when I need it and this repeated throughout the day for anything I want to put on my desktop that has a mouse + charger cable crossing it. Ridiculous first world problems that I wouldn&#x27;t spend money on solving, but if my mouse blew up today and a genie asked me if I wanted a wire on my free replacement mouse or not, it&#x27;s clear what I&#x27;d choose. Another is when I disconnect the mouse on my MBP (hooked up to a keyboard, mouse and screen at home) because I want to plug in my camera or my phone to transfer some files and I only have 2 USB slots.<p>Anyway again I&#x27;m not one to have a wireless mouse but there&#x27;s definitely people who benefit in a desktop environment and I&#x27;d wager to say it&#x27;s not a small niche, either.
