Help! I am trying to find a good mouse and keyboard that does not have interference problems! Mouse is always jumping around! Can anyone recommend?

Logitech Wireless Keyboards/Mouses are the best I've ever used. My first one lasted several years until something spilled in it. I couldn't find another Logitech the day I needed to replace it and bought a Microsoft. Hated it. LOTS of interference problems. I am extremely happy with this keyboard, but my favorite was the original which must have been discontinued.

the Logitech works very good and the has a usb extension cord so there is no interference because the usb sensor is close to both the keyboard and mouse.

I don't use the mouse portion of this combo but I don't recommend the keyboard. Even with clear line of sight to the USB adapter, the keyboard needs constant adjustment to stay connected.

I've never had problems with these functionally speaking. I've been using my original keyboard and mouse that i purchased 4 or 5 years ago I think. I've got 3 of these sets; one on my Mac, one on my work pc at home, and a third at my office. I've never had any connection problems with any of them, except when the batteries start to die. when that happens, the battery light will flash on the keyboard and you'll lose characters as you type. The mouse will suddenly stop working, but it's fine as soon as you replace the batteries. Not sure if there's any notification of low batteries, on the mouse but there's no lights on top that i've noticed. The only issues i have with these keyboards is that Logitech had to have changed the material they use for the keys. The keys on the newer keyboards start to wear off after 4 or 5 months. for me, it's always the A, N, L and S keys first. the first keyboard i got a few years back is fine. the good thing is that if you keep your receipt with them or register them, logitech will replace it for free. you have to take some pictures of the keys and a code they give you and send it in, but they will give you a new one. they advised that they don't have key replacements, so you're basically throwing out a good keyboard. i'm apparently too anal to deal with the faded letters... but I don't see myself swapping to any other keyboards/mice anytime soon. hope that helps :-)

I have the same issue with my Gateway PC touch screen using a Microsoft wireless mouse. If I clean the monitor screen with a micro fiber cloth it stops. I don't know if it is static or what. I also disconnected the touch screen since i never use it anyway.

This sounds like radio interference. There's a couple of things that can cause this: people using microwaves nearby, working in a large office, hardware issue with the device, or a bad battery. My suggestion would be to try replacing the batteries on the slim chance it's just battery issue. I've had problems with all brands of wireless mice and keyboards at my last job because hundreds of people on the same floor using wireless mice. I never found a good solution other than only using wired devices or working somewhere other than the office.

yes it works fine if u just have the mouse and not the keyboard or vice versa. i haven't had any issues yet. so far so good.

Thank you. My other port is occupied by a wireless mouse receiver but I have figured out a solution. Your post was very helpful.

I sent mine back and went to a wired solution for the keyboard. There were too many issues with it to be counted. The biggest is that it has a small footprint and I have large hands. The other reasons were lag times. I know that wired is old school for my desktop this was the best solution. My laptop I use its kb. I hope this helps.

I use a Logitech Optical Mouse, a USB connection, and have no complaints. What the difference is with a "unifying" mouse/keyboard is unknown to me.

I am sorry that mouse you got is not working properly. I think that you got a defective unit. I have mine for couple of years now and it works fine.

I currently use a wireless mouse on mine and it does not interfere with the mouse moving in that area.

I wish I could help you with an answer, but, I have never tried a mouse with this keyboard. I hope someone will be able to answer this for you.

I didn't have any problem with the mouse other than it was too high for my desk, my scroll wheel worked fine, however my space bar is starting to stick again so I guess I will have to work on it some more. Actually I do like like this keyboard, one just has to be a good mechanic to keep it working, ha.

I have and I did. The problem I always ran into was when I tried to connect Bluetooth keyboard and mouse separately. It always caused extreme lag or "ghost typing"...For now this is the best option to have both keyboard and a mouse pad via one Bluetooth connection

I ordered one from best buy on line a couple months ago, it showed up today..... I've been trying to see one as well, but no luck anywhere....Overall it really has potential, I don't like the smooth wheel, and, I'm having trouble with interference. The transmitter is only a few feet from the mouse, but i'm getting random pointer freezing, skipping etc. I'm trying the transmitter on a USB extension cable and putting it even closer to the mouse, which seems to be better...so far. If one can live with the smooth scroll wheel, and does not have wireless problems, I think it's quite good. I ordered one from best buy on line a couple months ago, it showed up today.....

I had a unify Logitech wireless mouse that worked well with it. Never tried the keyboard, but same reciever.

I had the same type situation. I did have another keyboard with usb and have mice of both kinds, so had no problem.

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.

The only issue I have is that the mouse sometimes begins to act erratic. I have to move it closer to the dongle, then back again, and then it's okay. Happens every couple days. In the beginning, the mouse was doing it constantly, and the keyboard would miss keystrokes. To fix, I had to install a separate USB bracket in a rear expansion slot (plugged into a USB header on my MB) so the dongle was not in close proximity of other plugs/cables going into my PC. Keep in mind...my PC is on my desktop about 2 feet away from the keyboard/mouse; shouldn't be ANY problems. Well, not always, but usually, you get what you pay for. :/

my keyboard and mouse work great.....If yours is slow all I can suggest is to make sure the usb dongle is in range and/or replace the 2 aaa batteries in the back of the keyboard...if this does not help then I would assume the keyboard could have a defect.
