I assume it said .6 meters, not .6cm - 6mm is not very far for a wireless to travel.
In any case, yeah, I would just go wired unless you're willing to spring for a much more up-market model. I personally just go wired all the time anyway, I don't really see the point of wireless, seems like just more crap to go wrong to me.
