So no dongle and less to go wrong?
well i replace the battery every 6 months, keyboard every year or so.
not sure i'd worry about non-catastrophic single points of failure sitting at a desk,
but i am a scientist, and you are the engineer, so there is that,
we'll check in with @shrpshtr325 - he probably worries about this stuff,

my keyboard and mouse are rechargable and usable while charging, i dont worry about them going bad or failing, keyboards last numerous years and even before they were rechargable the batteries lasted a year or 3, not sure what your overthinking on this one.
p.s. if your on a desktop (or laptop in a dock) there is nothing wrong with wired devices, the wire serves an important purpose of preventing them from getting pushed off the desk and lost by paperwork.
you have a cat?
I run wireless, and have wired spares ready. The only reason I can think of to run wired is if the keyboard and mouse are lighted,
or the mouse has very high resolution (gaming)
----------------
in other news, I replaced the core switch in my house for wired devices.
This includes running through second desktop switch.
I bet they prioritize the traffic to the speedtest servers.

I can't stand wireless keyboards and mice. I have enough batteries to fuck around with already.
we do have a cat, but hes 15 and sleeps all the time, also hates me and runs out of any room im in. he doesnt chew up wires if thats the point your making. I have wireless at home, the wired mouse was my at work setup (company provided) which i actually ended up replacing with a wireless setup, no wires here anymore (do chargers count? nahhh)
my keyboard and mouse are also capable of being paired with multiple recievers so i can hit a button and switch them between computers (great for WFH where i have work and personal computer on the same desk and screens with KVM)
who is your provider that you have so little upload?

Same here - we have two cats - they never bother the wires around the computer (which is in the basement and they have 24 hr access) or any other wires for that matter.
my cat knocks the mouse off the desk when he wants to go out. should i go wired for easier retrieval?

You should get him his own mouse. Scratch that. He should get his own mouse.

Not brandy new but new. Did a group ride with @MadisonDan and @Norm and crew, so they have seen it. Waiting for a dropper to come in. It's dirty now!
