There's no fix for my wife and the presence of cables. In this case, the
cables for keyboard and mouse run from the Intel NUC computer nestled in
a table beside her recliner to the keyboard on her lap and the mouse on
her arm rest. She has yanked the cables free of the computer, pulled the
computer out of its shelf, dropped the keyboard and then tripped over it
when she tried to retrieve it, and actually toppled the table while
"arguing" with the keyboard and mouse cables. Wireless devices were a
ploy to reduce the likelihood of her causing damage to the various
devices because of her interaction with things that were tied together
physically.
I see. You may be also interested in “magnetic quick release USB
cables”. They are held together at one part by a magnet. A strong pull
(accidental or otherwise) will disconnect it, and thus it is supposed to
be less dangerous for the user and the equipment. I have never seen any
such in my life, but I know they exist.
Her clumsiness doesn't reduce her charm a bit. But you do have to be
careful not to stand next to her in the kitchen. She gestures a lot with
her hands -- even when holding knives. Ever seen a Fellini movie?
Well, at least as she does not injuries herself or you it's alright. :)
