I'm working quite hard to learn how to keep my computer and network free/libre. Hence I've installed Trisquel and am working getting libreboot to work. But in this case, does it make sense to use e.g. a Logitech anywhere MX wireless mouse or does this potentially endanger the freedom of my computer?

If your wireless mouse does not require a proprietary driver/firmware to work then sure it does **not** diminish the freedom of your computing, If you are asking if those are safe from from the computer security point of view.. I remember I read an article ones claiming crackers can hack some models very easily, wireless mousy is vulnerable to attack, as is I guess all wireless stuff :P

Hence, from a security point of view, wired mice are better... Thanks
