While I agree with many things in this article, I don't agree with a wireless mouse. The only (modest) advantage I can cite for a wireless mouse is reduced friction thanks to removing that slight tug you will get the cable.
The upsides for a wired mouse are:
* Zero lag. Wireless mice add a few milliseconds of lag.
* Zero charging. It's never out of charge because you forgot to dock it at the end of the day.
* Zero stuttering. Even the best wireless mice sometimes stutter.
To my mind, the most important things for a mouse are:
* Get a mouse with extra smooth gliding surfaces. Most good gaming mice qualify.
* Get a properly weighted mouse. Again, most gaming mice qualify.
* Get a proper mouse pad. A gaming mouse pad will usually provide the best surface.
* Make sure the cable has proper slack.
* Set your acceleration properly so that you don't need to reposition the mouse often. Again, a high-quality high-resolution mouse really helps here. A gaming mouse can help if it has a "sniper" mode allowing you to engage a high-precision mode to click small targets in your UI.
Ultimately, yes, what I am recommending is get a lot of gaming hardware to do work, but it's actually great.
