> Was it bluetooth? Bluetooth mice (and maybe other peripherals; I’ve only noticed it with mice) will drop connections infrequently and the fix is to go into device manager and tell anything bluetooth related that the computer is not allowed to turn off this device to save power.

In general, I’ve learned to avoid wireless anything if I can. WiFi, BT, the in-between tech that some wireless console stuff uses… it may be fine for many users and obviously some very large part of the market finds it acceptable (or just puts up with it)… but I like my gear to work, and work right, and work without my having to pop the hood and do a quick valve adjustment in the middle of the workday.

There is NO wireless tech that meets the reliability of wired. And I don’t find the minor convenience of no-cord to outweigh the advantages. I have NEVER had to replace the battery in my trackball, for example. 🙂

So, next we’re going to hear about Nikeshoe.

I mean, I think of Logitech as the Nike of computer mouses. Why shut down a brand with that type of reputation?
