@xdude I like this topic. Thanks for posting it.
For me corded or cordless doesn't really make a difference. Comfort comes first, so if I find a mouse that is comfortable and corded, then I don't have an issue either way. However, I have found lately the reason I've been gravitating to cordless is the choice of mouse is much greater in cordless than corded. On the other hand, if one checks in the back street computer shops, one could possibly get dirt cheap corded ones. But now I'm on cordless, it's just easier. I had a great LG mouse - corded - for years, until it died, and haven't found a comparable one, even with Logitech to replace it. I'm still looking for the exact same quality replacement. For me the general quality of mouse and keyboard is not as great as it used to be. Probably because of how mass produced it has become.
My experience is the exact same battery wise. Last week I had to replace the battery again - but more like once in 6 months - maybe because the mouse is so small I get more battery life than you do? Ditto my keyboard that I'm using for traveling only - battery has to be replaced regularly and more often than the mouse. I've got a corded keyboard that I use with my desktop. On the battery side also depending where one lives, if the humidity is high battery life can be an issue with condensation - so sometimes it may be more practical to have corded, depending where one lives.
Mouse wise I've always liked Logitech. I have a very small portable "Logi" (M187) Logitech cordless mouse I got for my laptop for traveling, and ended up buying another one for my desktop. I like the way the USB little stick of the mouse can be stored next to the battery cavity. But I also like that it feels like nothing - very light to the touch and becomes more or less invisible. On the negative side it's not always spot on with clicking, i.e. it misses, but not irritatingly so. But for the rest it's lasted for quite a while. I've been on it for over 2 years. Logitech makes reliable products.
I've found that some times the pirated version of products can be better - like at the beginning of the year I bought a very cheap corded keyboard (with a very obscure brand name Nextek) from one of those obscure little shops with all kinds of interesting cellular ancillary products that are dirt cheap, and it's turning into the nicest keyboard I've had in a long while. Keys are snug together so keyboard turns into very light and takes up very little space. Like the Logitech M187 little mouse, it's so light, i'm not even aware it's there.
