Is it able to work across walls? I want to use a bluetooth mouse in same floor, two walls, and 25 feet distance.

it may work intermittently. I dont think it would be reliable. The walls will definitely cause problems at that distance.

I use mine in the same room, so I couldn't accurately answer this question. However, two walls plus 25 feet seems like it might be a struggle to me.

I believe it should work without any problem as I have a wireless mouse hooked up in the same manner for 2 different computers.

Yes, but you will need a logitech unifying receiver (available for under 10 bucks). Logitech is competing with Bluetooth and making there own receivers going away from the universal Bluetooth. On the universal receiver plus side you may have up to 6 devices synchronized. I keep two pointing devices per computer so this works for me. Logitech also claims their own receiver will eliminate the double click problem that occurs with some mice as they get older; but that remains to be seen. If you do not want to buy another receiver you make take the one from home but that defeats the convenience end so just get another receiver. Good Luck.

If it's a small conference room. I couldn't get it to work reliably with more than 15' separation between the computer and the base receiver. And it must be line of sight. If someone were to walk between the two, your connection would likely be lost.

Hello, The remotes will work work through floors, doors, and walls. If you have two sets they will work independently of one another as they are on different frequencies. However, with one set you can have 5 outlets in 5 separate rooms. Each button on the remote will correspond to only one outlet. We hope this answers your question. If not, feel free to elaborate a little so we can help you understand everything about the item. Thanks! -Etekcity

Yes it is possible, sort-of... IR (your average mouse, remote radio wavelength) and bluetooth are still going to work, and I have used a IR keyboard with mine, but in theory the range will be decreased especially for IR. In practice I can't really see a difference. I am using the keyboard in a 26 ft X 26 ft room, on the far side of the room.

Common problem. I solved the "USELESS MOUSE" by attaching the wifi dongle to to the extention cord it came with and made sure it was visible. There are other 2.4ghz controls that maybe interfering too. Make sure no other wireless apparatus is being used around it. this does not have a bluetooth capability. This is the downside.

Yes. I tested mine up to 25ft and it worked fine. My batteries are new, as are the keyboard and mouse. For the test the USB receiver was on the rear of my laptop on a desk. And as someone else mentioned you can also extend the range even further with the included USB extension cable to reposition the receiver.

I believe that each unit has its own ID that it operates on. This allows several to be in the same room and not interfere with each other. I have several wireless mouses in the same room and they have not interfered with each other.

No, the remote works through walls just fine. We use it on the first floor for a thermostat on the second floor, so it works through floors as well as walls.

Victor Torres is incorrect. You will not have issues with this mouse. Each mouse is paired to its unique receiver. This mouse uses the "UNIFYING" receiver, which allows you to pair up to 5 devices to the same receiver. However, in order to pair two devices (in your case, two mice) to the SAME receiver, you must use the SetPoint Software. If you plug two receivers into the computer, you will be prompted about the UNIFYING software but you have the option to KEEP both UNIFYING receivers active. In summary, you can pair two of these same mice to the same computer OR pair them to different computers. There will be no "crosstalk" between the two different UNIFYING receivers.

From what I could tell line of sight matters for longer distances. Anything like metal between the adapter will hinder the Bluetooth signal. The PC case or walls will slow down the signal. But if you're using the Bluetooth in one room everything should be ok I would think. Also I read today on Wikipedia that USB 3.0 devices have been shown to interfere with the signal. You may want to look at the wikipedia entry.

This is a Bluetooth device and, as such, does not need line of site. In fact, you could transmit from a Bluetooth device in another room up to about 30 feet away. I have discovered that the device actually will pick up signals even further away but the actual distance depends on what objects, like walls, are between your device and the Nyrius.

when connected to the laptop/PC/Mac , you can use it as a mouse, then it could function based on the software you pair it, but I do not think so.

Yes, a bluetooth mouse works well, but there a glitch in Win 8.1 that seems to make my mouse hang a little. I hope they address it soon.

I had the same question when I saw this mouse. Searching the user reviews for "bluetooth" shows this mouse is NOT bluetooth compatible. The mouse specs say "Bluetrack technology", but it apparently requires the USB dongle. Hopefully MS will release a future Arc Touch mouse that supports bluetooth. I'd like to replace my laptop travel bluetooth mouse with a portable flat designed mouse like this one.

I lost/misplaced the mouse but hopefully I can answer your question. Because it is Bluetooth, it should be fine with 'standard' drivers in your OS - in other words, the CD is unnecessary.
