Can more than one computer in a room use a Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse without effecting the other?

Yes. The keyboard/mouse is electronically matched to the USB transmitter, whether hardwired or thru software with the unifying process with those units using the configurable wireless technology. Probably one could design a way to maliciously configure the unifying units to create a problem situation, but you would have to work at it.

I am almost certain they could be used because you sync them with the computer you are using them with. Not absolutely sure, as I have not tried.

Same question but would like to hear from someone who is actually doing this. I may have to be my own test subject.

Yes. They don't not interfere with one another, if you use them separately. I use the touchpad and a wireless mouse.
1397702
Yes. I currently use the wireless mouse. Be aware that there are only 2 standard USB ports and running both the mouse and keyboard at the same time may use both slots. Probably not an issue, but just pointing it out.

It is a problem. Don't use 2 in the same room if both computers are being used at the same time.

My wireless mouse is blue-tooth so it depends. if your keyboard is also blue-tooth only one device connected at a time. You can pair it with a large number of devices but only one can be in use at any time

The keyboard and mouse connect independently. So I would say yes as long as the mouse will connect to your devise by itself.

No, each mouse has it's own receiver that inserted into your own USB port so there will be no interference. Hope this helps.

I asked the same question, for the same reason, over at the Logitech forum. Unfortunately, for security purposes, the mouse can only "mate" with one computer at a time, so you can't use the mouse with both laptops simulataneously. However, you can make a shortcut to the mouse's connection in the Bluetooth Manager and it's pretty easy to switch laptops by just pressing the little button under the mouse.

Yes, this is true for any computer. the wireless keyboard and mouse have a mini base station that plugs into your USB port. even if you already use the usb port for something else, you could just buy a usb hub to give you more ports so, definitely yes, you can use a wireless keyboard/mouse.

If your keyboard and mouse are controlled via one USB (like wireless mouse & keyboard combination), and those are the only things you need... then you will not need anything else. This has one USB female port, which can be connected to two different computers (one at a time). But if you have more peripherals, then you can buy and USB hub which expands the number of USB ports ( so you switch many things like printer, keyboard/mouse, USB speakers, etc -- watch out of power consumption though). I have returned this product, though because of some other reason... take a look at my review.

absolutely! i cannot attest to how many devices, but right now I have a cell phone and a stereo headset connected to my computer. I believe i would add a mouse and keyboard without issue.

I've had mine for quite a while with various wireless mice and keyboards without a problem. I do not have the USB-dongle for my mouse and keyboard plugged into the USB ports in the monitor, however.

This handles more than one device at the same time so I would guess yes. All though I have not tried that... and probably wouldn't since I use only wired keyboards. I have had my cell, speaker and mouse all connected at the same time.

I have two computers on my desk (Windows and Linux). And I have two sets of the MS 5000 keyboard and mouse, side by side, one connected to each computer, and have seen no interference whatsoever. I dislike the recessed function keys, but after using for years, I'm getting used to them.

Yes. The way I have it set up is I have two monitors for my desktop, one for my work laptop. I only have the VGA connectors hooked up, and can switch one of the monitors between the desktop and laptop. For keyboard and mouse, they are connected directly to my desktop. I use synergy on the desktop and laptop so the laptop shares the keyboard/mouse with the desktop. That way I can always access both computers with the keyboard/mouse regardless of which one is using the extra real estate on the second monitor.

No - each mouse has their own frequency. I have the same setup at my house, no problems.

Afraid not. The switching happens on the 2 side. So 4 peripherals across 2 comps (or DVRs in your case). The button just toggles back and forth between the 2 connections. I use it to share mouse/keyboard across 2 comps.
