Review on Logitech M170 Wireless Mouse - 2.4 GHz, USB Mini Receiver, Optical Tracking, 12-Month Battery Life - Blue by Jeff Jackson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Place the transmitter away from the PC case

The perfect mouse, I use it every day at work and at home. However, once I started using the mouse at home, I noticed frustrating intermittent signal loss and/or erratic movement. After some research and experimentation, it turned out that the culprit was excessive high frequency noise from my processor that wasn't properly filtered out by the USB 3.0 ports. Adding a USB extension cable that took the transmitter farther from the case (not even necessarily closer to the mouse) solved the problem. I hope this can help someone.

Pros
  • Rugged design
