wired mouse
Plugged-in pointer device
A wired mouse is a computer mouse that connects to its host device through a physical cable, typically USB.
The term emerged to distinguish traditional mice from wireless ones: I prefer a wired mouse for gaming because there's no lag.
Wired mice don't require batteries or charging.
