One of most ridiculous wireless things I've encounted was Logitecs Trackball. Like, it's a stationery mouse, specifically designed not need to be moved around.

And they don't make wired variants at all anymore.

I think it's a design decision. Some high-level designer probably decided on cutting all the wires, so here we are. Shame they didn't hear about markrt research or customer surveys.

Better for mobile applications, which I realize TVs are typically not but sometimes they can be mounted onto a cart or something.

I mean yeah because its objectively worse if you just care about performance and reliability.

On chromecast?

Bad choice in product i guess...

And it only works with stock android and chrome browser. I hate it so much. Why didn't I buy a miracast dongle?

I have no experience with it, but this might work

Wow, thanks. The only thing left is MicroG android and I will have a slightly less paintful experience.
