Wireless Woes

Hi,

I have an optronix(I'd never heard of them either) wireless keyboard and mouse and just recently bought a new wireless logitech mx610 laser mouse as the optrtonix one was really bad. Trouble is there seems to be a lot of interferance making the new mouse do strange things, like making my windows inactive then when i move the mouse side to side it brings up right click menu's. Is this the old mouse/optronix reciever interfering? tried a lot of things but nothing has cured it. any ideas before try a different keyboard and turning the optronix kit off(which will take me half a day to do due to the way the desk is set-up)? (I'm sure I'm missing the totally obvious here so don't be shy!)

Cheers

Could it be that the wireless mouse and keyboard are on the same wireless channel and interfering with each other?

yeah I thought that but what can I do about it?

Is there any option to change the frequency/channel of either device (maybe look on the companies' website). Failing that, sell the cheaper of the two and get the other wireless device of the same make as the device you keep.

Sorry no better advice than that Cairnsey.
