Wireless mouse question

heatherw_01

I have a Logitech keyboard and mouse wireless set.

I am not keen on the mouse and wondered, if I get a totally different wireless mouse (like Microsoft)... can I connect it to the logitech wireless set using the connect button on the reciever and mouse to replace my logitech mouse?

No, it won't work.

Right, thank you

You can just buy a usb wireless mouse and plug it in. xp will dedect it and you can use whichever mouse you like. They will both work at the same time

I would not be sure about that. I have a Microsoft keyboard/mouse set and I can synchronise a different, non-MS, mouse to use the same USB sensor connected to the PC. If I press the re-synch button on the sensor and then press the re-synch button on a Medion mouse it will then take over instead of the MS one on the new frequency setting. The MS keyboard continues to work as before.

So although I can't say for sure about Logitech keyboard/mouse sets I would not be at all surprised if your setup cannot work with the current keyboard but a new mouse. It may all depend on having a compatible range of frequencies.

Some wireless mice work on the same frequency but I am not sure if microsoft and Logitech do.

in cases like this just unplug the logitech mouse connector and connect the microsoft one in its place. i have don this a few times when people have lost their mouse you do end up with 2 wireless receivers on the desk but it works.
