I currently have a few computers within 5-6 feet of each other, all using Logitech wireless mice. The problem is, moving any one of these mice causes all of the others nearby to be "frozen out" until you stop moving it. Even though the select buttons on the dongle allow us to keep each mouse and computer paired up, no two can be used simultaneously.

I remember that years ago, Microsoft's earliest wireless mouse had a channel selection switch on the bottom that allowed 2 wireless mice to operate without stepping on each other (channel 1 and 2). But that was only two channels, and sometimes mouse movements from 8-10 feet away would "stray" to a 3rd computer (on the same channel)

Is there anything available that might work for 4 computers in close proximity to each other? My assistant sometimes sits at the desk next to me; we both need to work simultaneously without locking out each other's mouse... Is that possible with wireless mice in this day and age?

Dave Barry once said, "If you asked me to name the three scariest threats facing the human race, I would give the same answer that most people would: nuclear war, global warming and Windows."

Then Paul Ehrlich said, "To err is human, but to really foul things up you need a computer."

I don't know who said this, but I think it was first said about women (but they apply to computers too): You can't live with them, and you wouldn't want to live without them!
