Every time I see this thread title I see Erection Wireless - the no-hands brothel.

It can be both.

LoL. I see "Erotic"

Speaking of this, I fell down the rabbit hole of different wireless connection types.
Logitech, who make a lot of keyboards and mice, have 3 or maybe 4 different connectivity types.
The "regular" 2.4ghz unifying receiver dongle, the Bluetooth LE dongle on the "for business" series, and whatever the "lightspeed" gaming series uses.

Going to order a new mouse today.

Looking at this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09...0?ie=UTF8&th=1

I see it has BT connectivity, and "logi bolt" which after further look, is a proprietary 2.4ghz signal. I would elect to have it run on BT if we suspect that 2.4ghz interference is cause of my issue here.

What do you say @ExtraSlow "connectivity master"? Any other recommendations?

If you don't want to go the "lightspeed gaming mouse" route, then that's probably a good one for having two options. I think Logi Bolt is just the newest version of normal 2.4 ghz but I can't really prove that.

[nismodrifter]

Yeah that's what I figure re it being normal 2.4ghz

I'll order. Fingers crossed.

The greatest prank ive ever pulled was plugging in a wireless mouse to a coworkers computer, and occasionally right clicking or hard scrolling when i could hear him using his mouse.. lasted for like 6 months before he finally called IT.


probably get fired for that now

Or worse.............you would be sent for some kind of "cultural competency/inclusivity" training

New mouse works. Thanks to those who clarified re connection protocol (wireless vs Bluetooth) and thanks for informing me re the different protocols that Logitech has.

I'll probably make a post in the docking station thread, but I found I was having a lot of problems with logitech wireless mice, and part of the issue appears to have been the cheap docking stations I was using. Upgraded to a better one and it seems the issues are resolved. I think the docking station was under or over powering the USB dongle and that was messing things up.

Erotic. Docking.
Plz move to Ask Leo.
