[ale] wireless mouse/keyboard

[Adrin]

Usually when my mouse stops.    It is the batteries.  It has gotten me a few times as I think I am having some type of problem and reboot the machine first.  AAA batteries just don't have the long life in them and I can't find my rechargeable.


I have had the mouse go crazy on me when changing from Windows and Linux.  And since the HOT key to change the screen is the scroll lock. I can sometimes have a problem in Linux.  Windows must ignore this key for the most part.  As far as the mouse going crazy.   I don't touch the mouse until the screen has changed and the new sync status on the monitor goes away.

  I bought my wife that same set for her winbloze box and the wireless (ball type) mouse died at about 5 months old. Bought her a new Logitec wireless optical mouse and it talks to the old antenna just fine and she's much happier now.

  On the flipside though, I bought myself a new Logitec wireless keyboard and optical mouse combo the other day. Everything was just beautiful for a couple of hours until I started flipping through the ports on my Belkin KVM switch and the thing went crazy. Immediately changed back to my corded ones but haven't had the time to test the wireless ones on a single box yet.

The keyboard still works fine (see???).  They both communcate with the 
same device that is connected to my ps2 mouse port.  Both the keyboard 
and mouse have their own batteries, and the batteries in the mouse still 
have a sufficient charge.

Anyone else have any experiences with these wireless toys?  I really 
like them and would like to get my mouse back.

By the way, these are radio not ir.
