I kept jumping between wireless and wire because I'm annoyed by wires, and keep getting burned by wireless pitfalls through these years. But each round wireless seems to be slightly getting better over time.
Here are some tips I collected along the way:
1. 2.4GHz sucks, use Bluetooth when possible. But Bluetooth sucks, too.
2. You want to have fewer Bluetooth devices when possible, reduce the number of simultaneous connections. For example, I only use my Bluetooth mouse for gaming, and trackpad for the rest, so I would disconnect mouse when I'm not playing video games.
3. You want to use some categories of Bluetooth devices first. For example, Bluetooth keyboards usually have great experiences so you may want to make your keyboard wireless first. Bluetooth mice and trackpads are Okayish, but not as great. Bluetooth headphones and speakers are usually bad. If you really want to use Bluetooth for Audio, sometimes devices from the same company may have better connections: Beats Studio seems to have a much better connection than Sennheiser and B&O on Mac.
After all, I still love the idea of wireless because it is nice on paper. It is mostly the de facto protocols and implementations that are terrible.
I've found that sometimes fiddling with some wireless settings like operation band, channel, tx power, WMM, etc. helps, provided you know what you are doing. Especially so if you're in an overcrowded wifi zone or in a poor reception area.
