| Wireless Natural Laser Mouse and Keyboard 7000 - tip I recently bought the above mouse and installed it on my Quad Core Acer machine running Vista Home Premium 64. Every once in a while both the keyboard and mouse wouldn't respond to movement of the mouse and typing. I did all of the standard stuff with installing and re-installing drivers, replaced the batteries and just about everything else that I could think of ..... all to no avail. I then got an idea and plugged the USB receiver into the USB port on my HP monitor and all the problems went away! I then tried a USB extension and plugged the receiver into that and it worked perfectly. The problem must have been related to where the receiver was in relation to the power supply. At least that is my theory. - Ron P If we are what we eat then: I'm fast, cheap and easy and past my best before date |

| Re: Wireless Natural Laser Mouse and Keyboard 7000 - tip Possibly the onboard USB controller has an issue however its more likely you used a Non-powered Port on the computer. If your machine has more than 4 USB ports then only 4 are powered. Using the monitor's ports is like using a powered USB Hub.

I use the same wireless keyboard & mouse and get the hesitations as well. Don't know if it will make a difference, but it's worth a try! I wondered if it was because, for some reason, the "business" part of the USB receiver seems to be facing away from the keyboard et al, both when it's installed in the computer (which is on my right, as I'm right handed) and when it's in the monitor slot. We'll see! I do have a powered USB hub, and if I still have problems, might then go that route. LesleyO |
