How to Fix Your Computer Wire Issues

As technology has continued to improve, so has the wealth of options available to us for keyboards, mice, and other accessories. One of the biggest changes in this new age is the increased accessibility of wireless technology. Just because new technology is wireless though, doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily better. This article will outline the pros and cons of using wireless technology and hopefully make you make a decision on which you should use.

Wired

The older and more available wired technology is often praised because it’s extremely reliable and responsive and is less likely to stop working in a crucial moment. With USB mice, all you need to do is ‘plug and play’ and your mouse is already ready to go and you can begin to use it. The reason a wired mouse is less likely to stop working is because it doesn’t require batteries or a charger like a wireless mouse does, meaning that it will never go out on you unless the cord is damaged or the mouse completely dies. Wired mice are also much more responsive than wireless mice because they don’t experience a wireless delay, though this is likely to change as technology improves. One reason that people don’t like to use wired mice is the hassle of having another cable. Wired mice often have non-tangle proof cables that become a hassle in a small space and gather dust. On the other hand, your cable might not even reach the desired length to your computer meaning that you have to go out of your way to make sure you can use your computer.

Wireless

Wireless mice and other accessories are a newer development when it comes to personal home use. One positive thing about wireless technology is its portability. There is no need to struggle with cords when all you need to do is hook in the mouse and use it wherever you please. This portability makes wireless mice extremely popular with laptops, as many people don’t like using the laptops touch pad. Wireless technology is also praised for its USB connections, which are the most common connections in new computers. While the new wireless technology has some extremely practical applications, it is not without its faults. Wireless mice are often less responsive because of the delay they suffer traveling over a wireless network, as well as the fact that being wireless causes them to use batteries. These problems are likely to change; however, as ever improving technology solves these concerns.
As of now it looks like wired connections have a vast majority of advantages over wireless technology. Many of the problems that wireless technology faces, however, can be solved through ever increasing technological advantages.
