I've been wireless for both mouse and keyboard for about six years. My mouse started to play up after five and a bit years, and my GrandSon broke the spacebar on the keyboard about six months ago (although it still worked), so I bought a Microsoft set in Costco for £30. Can't remember the model - 5000 or something.

I'd not go back to wired, and the battery life is more than acceptable.
