I've always used wired keyboard and mice, as I see no benefit to going
wireless. The one consideration might be for the mouse, but proper
management of its cord can eliminate any annoyance it offers. I don't
really get more than a meter from my monitor, so where's the need?

I've purchased a number of wireless keyboard and mice for my nephews.
They cause me nothing but problems, but I'm not really in a position to
see the benefit. Keeping them supplied in batteries is a problem.
Keeping them sync'd can also be troublesome, as they sometimes just get
moody. (I don't buy expensive units as living next to a clumsy,
soda-swilling teenager is its own version of sudden death.)

It's getting harder and harder, though, to find a good selection of
wired keyboards and mice, so I might have to eventually suffer that
"innovation."
