Does anybody know the range of this mouse? I want to control streaming to my TV from my computer at about 20 feet.

Works fine for me with direct line of sight. I have the receiver plugged into the front of my computer, so I can't speak to other setups.

Just to answer your question and satisfy my own curiosity, I was able to take my mouse over 30' away from my desktop and still had a connection. Based on my experience, you should easily be good to go at 20'. One caveat, this mouse and the Setpoint software works well on my Win7 64 bit workstation but I can't get it to work with the Setpoint on my Win XP SP3 32 bit desktop. The mouse works well without the Setpoint software installed and still works with the Setpoint software installed but with the Setpoint installed the mouse won't hold the Setpoint settings on that machine. Still trying to figure out what the problem is so buyer beware.

I've used my mouse from a distance of about 8 feet with no issues. Most "low power" bluetooth connections are typically good up to 30 ft (10m) if the path is unobstructed. There are bluetooth range extenders available if needed.

I have mine about 20 feet from the TV. Love this item. I can even plug in a headset if I want

well, i would say it could scroll easily down a page from 8 feet away, but if you intend to use the cursor at that distance, it is going to be choppy at best. I use it from a distance of 6 feet occasionally with the receiver being in direct sight of the mouse and it chugs along happily

Works well in my front room, about 30 feet away. Further into my bedroom, it does not work. Too many walls. I would think that if you get too far away, you could not see your monitor LOL

All that is required is a USB port for this to work. I also stood across the room, 20 feet, and the mouse still worked. I hope this helps!

I have one setup inside a live catch mouse trap, which flashes a light in the kitchen, to let me know I have someone who needs to go back outside. Depending on the size though I would say you're looking at a max range of 5 feet.

What exactly are you looking for? I have the receiver plugged into the back of my desktop computer, which is close to floor-level... and I use the mouse on top of my desk.

Mine works up to 20 feet but it also depends on the placement of the unit. I live in an older home and we have noticed the connection is very weak if the wireless/Bluetooth connection is trying to go through a load bearing wall.

I think you have to keep the mouse at least 8 inches away from any other electronic devices for it to work well. That may be the problem.

I only used it for a few days... it was a big pain...couldn't use most of the functions...plus is infared. I now use a usb radio frequency optical mouse...works great. I only use it to control computer when I watch tv.

I have an older Logitech, with the older USB receiver. It is a 2.4 ghz similar to this one and mine has at least a range of 30 ft, it is amazing. I would assume this one would be similar.

My experience has been that the signal begins to weaken at about 100'. Before I purchased this system, I called a tech rep at RCA to ask specific questions, one of which was the signal range. He told me it is designed to have up to 200 meters, which is around 600'! If you're using it at home, it should be plenty, but I use it at work, and am very displeased with the limited signal range.

I had an HP bluetooth mouse that worked quite well. Did try a Targus for awhile but it seemed to disconnect when left idle for any amount of time, but would reconnect when you move it but if your playing a game that get frustrating. The HP mouse just didn't live through the 8 foot drop I put it through by accident. OOPS.

It should be around 6 foot. It is long enough for me to use it with my laptop connected to my TV, and be sitting a good distance from it. It is a very good mouse for the price that you pay for it. The mouse feels very light so it is comfortable for long uses.

Yes you can. This is an excellent product and this is my third one. Be sure to have the receiver close to the mouse so that you will not suffer mouse lag. I had the receiver on the floor by the computer and had interference problems that resulted in mouse response lag times being significant. I then moved the receiver about 1 foot from the mouse and the issue went away.Pixe

I just bought the remote for the exact reason you mentioned about the Microsoft remote. I needed more range when I was listening to music while doing other things in my home, something the harmony does wonderfully. I can leave the room with it and walk into my kitchen, point it toward the television, and all my devices can still receive commands. I'd say its about 40 feet (although I will admit I'm terrible at estimating distances) and it worked fine. I guess it is worth mentioning that my walls are white and have a tendency to bounce IR signals better because of that, but overall it would seem the remote is powerful enough for anyone's usage habits. Highly recommended.

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.
