The Cable Mouse Is Back

Yes, I very much like my wireless mouse but I have just discovered the use for a cable bound mouse these days again: On an airplane! For long haul flights, if you have enough space to use a mouse it comes in very handy as wireless mice are not allowed to be used.

I wonder if that "suddenly" changes again once airlines introduce Internet access on some of their flights again (e.g. Lufthansa via satellite or American carriers via land based systems) but for now, the cabled mouse comes in quite handy.

I returned to using wired mice when I realized that no wireless mouse (even among the most expensive ones) can provide precision that is as good as a decent wired mouse. When you have a high resolution mouse you can turn off the mouse pointer acceleration and so things faster and easier.
