The major drawback of this is the connector between the mouse and the
keyboard will wear out, quite quickly.  I was in the habit of unplugging my
mouse periodically to unkink the cord and I discovered within a couple of
months the connector was only making intermittent connection.  I suggest
you don't unplug your mouse a lot.
