Looking for a good wireless mouse and keyboard. Doesnt have to be a top of the range gaming one just one for browsing net and the occasional game or 2. Currently using a 5 year old Wired Microsoft Keyboard + mouse but need to go wireless for my big screen Very Happy

Is the Logitech S510 any good?

Thanks

For all around mouse, I'd recommend the MX Revolution or MX 1000 mice. All of Logitech's desktops are great too.

I have this combo, works pretty good and uses bluetooth ... don't really use it for gaming though.

it's good because the keyboard fits into the drawer of my living room table Smile

Also just wondering, if I change the logitech mouse from the S510 pack to another logitech mouse that uses RF as well, will it still pick it up on the same USB RF Transmitter / receiver thing or will I need 2 of them plugged into the USB ?

Bluetooth is worse for that I think.

Your problem is interference because I've used older Logitech wireless mice from across the room. Try eliminating any sources of interference, it might be wires for example. They just have to be positioned differently not removed completely.

*note, this was a problem with the earlier mice, with the G7 I don't have this problem anymore - or at least it isn't interfering in a way that I notice.

Have you tried with just the mouse plugged in, maybe the other devices are the interference?

For some very strange reason its working now.. I just bought a new External Hard drive and placed that next to it and now it works, no idea why (maybe the external HD is somehow boosting the signal??) Confused Confused Confused

Anyway, I have now just got a Logitech MX3200 pack for £25.90 at PCWorld!!! If anyone wants one this is what you need to do Very Happy -

PCWorlds price is £89.99, Dells price is £31 something, PCWorld do a price match promise plus 10% back on the difference which makes it £25.90 instore at PCWorld!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
