Wireless Keyboard and Mouse.

[IbramGaunt]

I have a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse but I have encountered problems with them. I only can get one of them to work at a time. I have to use my wireless keyboard with my ordinary mouse or my ordinary keyboard with wireless mouse.

I don't know why, but whenever I have the two connected, neither work?!? Can anyone shine some light on this problem? Thanks because its getting very annoying .

OS and model of your wireless combo might help people “shine some light on this problem”.

Without knowing more it sounds like you might have a problem with the receiver.
Is it a usb-only one? or do you get 2 plugs, one for mouse one for keyboard comming out of the receiver.
Also, how long has this problem existed?
Were you ever able to get them both working together in the past?

I wonder if the batterys are dead, or is he using a windows 98se or Me,

Well I have XP and I think the mouse and keyboard combo are called Logitech Wireless mouse and Keyboard Desktop or something, not sure.

There is on wire that comes out of the receiver and splits into two, one has a USB connection but has another connection attached to that so that it fits in the keyboard slot.

Anywho, the batteries are not gone because I have had this problem from the beginning and both work, but seperatly.

I think I got both of them to work at the same time, but I don't know how, it was a long time ago, well about 5 months. What I do remember was that the PC was on when I switched to the wireless and when I restarted my PC neither worked.
Thanks for your help guys.

Use "just" the usb plug. Reboot.

Well that solved the problem. Any reason why it didnt work before?

Thanks again.

I am now having troubles with the wireless mouse for some odd reason.

Now and then the mouse would just move to the corner of the screen for no reason. It is most obvious when I am playing games such as First Person Shooters and I just go into a spin and can only stop if I lift my mouse.

It is very annoying. Is there any solution to this problem or has anyone had this problem before? Thanks for the help.
