Last February, I got myself a cordless keyboard. This keyboard came with a receiver.
Today, I got myself a Cordless Mouse. This mouse also came with a receiver.
I knew I should have gotten a package deal instead because now I have two receivers cluttering my space instead of just one had I gone with the package. However, someone DID tell me that I could connect the receiver via USB and connect both printer and mouse to receiver.
Only problem is I do not know how to get it to work. Ideas?

Ah, do you mean using a USB hub? If your printer and wireless input device recievers connect through that method, then get one.

No. I now have two cordless receivers. I would like to know if it is possible to set it up so that I can use one, out of a single USB port.

Ask the company...

You probably can... try it with one receiver, and press those tiny connect buttons on your keyboard and mouse. And perhaps the connect button on the reciever. You'd think it would work that way.

I love Logitech, I have an optical wheelmouse at work and the new Dual-optical at home, (double laser-scanners).
I never go cordless, though, I borrowed some equipment from work (cordless mouse+keyboard) and when playing games like Counterstrike, I couldn't do two things at the same time, ie shoot'n'strafe. The carrier frequency only allowed one input at a time. So when pressing the trigger my character stopped dead in his tracks and shot at the ground while my opponent circled around and took my head off. So cord all the way...

Or you could have, y'know, just used a cordless mouse with a normal keyboard. Or would THAT BE CRAZY?!

Can you get a cordless/ball-less mouse?

In other words... female?

Optical. Though not in down under.

TSN: Mine's got a cord attached. Now and then.
Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :
Heh - yeah optical and infra-red.

So, Tahna -
Did Harry's suggestion work? Inquiring minds want to know.
