The big problem I have with bluetooth that wires resolve is the seemingly-saturated 2.4Ghz in proximity to my mac. My mice (logitech MX Master3 and others) have a tendency to fritz out when they're on the other side of my desk from my laptop. Ditto keyboards. It's silly-frustrating.

What's funny is my bluetooth headphones work fine the whole time. They generally only freak out when I'm close to a running microwave.



It's a bit wild how variable experiences are between users with any flavor of wireless (Bluetooth, WiFi, RF). Over the past 18 years or so they've all been mostly trouble-free for me, save for software weirdness like how Windows 10/11 will cut off the first 0.3-1.5s of audio played to a Bluetooth device, but I've encountered several people over the years that wireless has been nothing but trouble for.
