Logitech Cordless Desktop MX
Just bought one for my PC and it doesn't seem to be working very well! The mouse and keyboard only work if they are within a few feet of the receiver. I've tried moving the receiver around so that it's away from any interference sources. Thought the keyboard batteries might be duff but the mouse (rechargable) is the same. Anyway I've spoken to the company I bought it from and they've agreed to exchange it.
My question is anyone got one of these (or similar Logitech RF cordless product) and if so what sort of range do you get out of it?
I was hoping it would work okay from one end of my lounge to the other, i.e several metres away. Am I expecting too much?
Cheers,
Graz

You either got a very big monitor or bloody good eyesight..... We have an MX setup same as yourself, no problem with it, in fact I'm about to buy another MX mouse as I'm so impressed with it.

I take it that's the non Bluetooth version? I know my brother's Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and mouse work over fairly long distances.
I will be using a fairly large monitor at times as I intend to integrate my PC into my home entertainment system. That has a 32" monitor

It could be getting interferrance.
I have tried several different cordless mice, but they never seem to work further away then a meter. I live near an airport, so presumed this was causing interferrance and limiting the mouse ?

My Logitech set-up works a treat too only I do take a battery out of the mouse when I'm away from the pc for a while otherwise I'm changing batteries more often than I care to.
