I love the idea of wireless, but in practice I always find myself reverting back to wired after a while (for keyboard and mouse, headphones is a different story).

The pain of seeing wires is not as bad as the pain of having the battery run out every once in a while, just when you need it, and having to plug it to charge.

Maybe once batteries last for months instead of weeks I'll change my mind.

Not sure about keyboards, but Logitech mx3 mouse is great and only needs to be charged like once a month after using it nearly all day every day. Also super ergonomic and works on any surface

I have the mx 3s along with the mechanic keyboard, one set each for work and one for home... Extremely stable connection with the bolt receiver, also works with well if I take the laptop home or with my phone if I connect it to my monitor (Dex) I already have USB-C charging cables due to the phone on either desk, so I just connect it to whichever runs low every few weeks (or months) and keep on using them.

It also works just while plugged in so there is no downtime. I feel like I charge it couple times a year by any random usb-c that is on my table at the moment while I keep using it. Even if it didn't, it takes maybe 1-2 minutes to charge for the rest of the day so there is no disruption.
