    So I'm on this lanparty, and there's probably around here somewhere a guy with the same mouse as I have, a wireless MS one. And I think I'm picking up his signal 'cause my mouse moves by itself, sometimes, and clicks by itself. I've unplugged it to check if it was someone hacking my PC through a trojan or something, but when unplugged it didn't happen so it must be because he's on the same frequency or something. I tried pushing the "connect"-button on the receiver and then on the mouse, but it doesn't fixes the problem.

    Does anyone has a solution?

    Quick fix please! :wallbash:

    Surely it can't be interferance(sp?), my Logitech Cordless MouseMan stops working when i move the mouse over about 12 inches from the reciever.

    Weird. I have operated my MX700 over 10 feet away without signal loss.

    That is such a weird problem relix. I have 2 MX700's sitting about 5 feet apart with no interference.

    I'm back from the LAN now, and I've had only minor problems. Sometimes it'd move by itself, but I think I found a channel which a mouse far far away was using as well. I also read on microsoft.com that they have only 2 channels :rolleyes:

    This true?

    Anyway, remind me to bring a wired mouse next time ;)

    Or just get a decent mouse (i.e. a logitech, instead of this MS crap :p ) ;)

    Got loads of logitech cordless stuff in this house, and they all run on secure connections, so there is no interference :thumb:

    Hmmm correct me if I'm wrong, but only the keyboard can run on "secure" connections. This isn't an option available for the mx700/900.
