You clearly haven't used wireless headphones in last 10 years, have you?

If you use the gamingest headphones with proprietary dongles, you can get decent latency. But then you're sacrificing on sound quality, comfort, and/or ANC, and if you have multiple devices you want to use them with (eg a console and a PC), you have to either physically move the dongle between them, or suffer with Bluetooth lag and connection hassles on one of them.

Bluetooth is still bullshit in terms of latency. It will get better with LE Audio, but whether it will get good enough is anyone's guess, and it's still in its infancy and support is almost non-existent.

I'll never understand wireless keyboards. They just sit on the desk? Why go through the hassle of charging it?

I hate wires in general. Everything that can be wireless IS wireless at my home.

This sounds like absolute hell.

I have a seperate wireless gaming keyboard for couch gaming in front of my tv. It has a purpose

Fuckin' what? Is this meme 10 years old or what?

Wireless headsets are amazing. It is so nice to just be able to walk away from your desk while still hearing the video you were listening to

Wireless Mice and Wireless Keyboard are a no for me.

Not because of latency, but because of the annoyance of needing to charge them.

I technically have a wireless mouse, that I just keep wired perpetually.

Wireless sounds nice because it's clean, but it's terrible to use because of the nature of a battery being finite.

Wired best because i don't need to charge it and there is no possibility of signal jamming by operating a microwave.

If operating a microwave interferes with any of your 2.4GHz networks, you need a new microwave.

But then how will he ever join the X-Men?

The latency has been good for a while. The sound-quality has also caught up recently too with stuff like the Audeze Maxwell

Hm. The only wireless thing on my gaming engine are the headphones, because I stepped over the cables a few times

Is this on Linux or Windows? Haven't noticed anything on Linux...

It's just inherent in bluetooth
