Interference between Wireless Keyboard and Mouse in Bios

[Bionicle]

- I my company, we have a problem with interference between Wireless Mouse(Logitech MX Revolution) and keyboard(Logitech DiNovo Edge), when you are in the Bios setup and when typing in the harddisk password. In both cases the reaction on the screen, when making a key stroke, is that there hardly is'nt any reaction, its very very slow moving, it takes forever to do something and sometimes it simly just do things on its own.

- This problem occurs when both of the USB wireless receivers are attached, if you take mouse receiver out of the "equation" the problem goes away. We have tested this when the laptop is in a dock and "free" a in both cases its the same.

Hope someone has a solution to our problem

My solution would be to keep the MX revolution (nice mouse) and dump the DiNovo edge (piece of junk) .

It sounds like a straightforward RF interference problem between the wireless devices... nothing to do with the ThinkPad.

What happens if you put one wireless dongle on the end of a USB extension cable instead of right next to another wireless dongle?

See if there is a fluorescent/neon light (desk lamp?) anywhere between the transmitter in the USB port and the mouse.
This may cause interference.

I have the same mouse and no problems at all. But for safety sake, if I ever have to go into the BIOS, I attach a wired mouse before booting.

My suggestion would be, to take the HD-password out, as entering that comes into play before Windows 'activates' the mouse.
Same with BIOS, it does not get a proper mouse-connection due to the BIOS being hardwired.
