Hey guys, I need some help. I purchased this Microsoft keyboard (link below), and I get interference between my wireless mouse and possibly my wireless G USB device. I can't use my mouse and my keyboard at the same time. And, the mouse that comes with the keyboard is horrible, I am currently using a different one.
So, my question is, how do I counter the interference between wireless devices? And, secondly, what wireless keyboard would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

So you have 2 separate pickups for a mouse and a keyboard? Any way you can shield one from the other.
Or just get something else.

Not true, they all use radio frequency and can all interfere with each other. They are probably all in the range of 2400mhz.
Here is what I use (but not the mouse). It doesn't look like anything special, but if you try it at a store you will notice how good it feels compared to almost anything else in the Logitech line. It does not interfere with my girlfriend's wireless mouse (RF) or my router (RF) and they are all within 6 feet. I don't have problems with my mouse because I use a corded Deathadder. My router can produce interference into my phone signal if I'm talking on my phone (LG 8600) near my computer though.

What you can do is reconnect your keyboard, it should change channels. At least I have had success with this in the past. If yours just won't work without interference and you can't rearrange your setup (moving router further away) then you may need something different.
