Wireless Desktop Elite RF interference issues

[MatthewBrown]

Hello,


I'm having a most annoying problem using my Microsoft Wireless Desktop
Elite with games (specifically F.E.A.R.).


Basically, when I'm walking forward (up arrow) and move the mouse, the
forward walking (up arrow) stops. This is OBVIOUSLY hindering my game
play to an intolerable point.
I'm using the latest Intelli- software.


I have narrowed down the problem to actual RF channel interference, as
resyncing the both devices seems to affect the issue for better or
worse.


Is there a way to gaurentee that the keyboard and mouse are on
different RF channels? Is there way to assign them to the furtherest
channels away from each other manually?


Hopefully someone has hax0red the hardware/software to be able to do
this. If not MICROSOFT, please do this is future releases of the
Intelli- software.


Thanks,

Matt

you can reset the channel by using the procedure in the manual - press
button on bottom of mouse, then on receiver; repeat for keyboard.

note this deskset actually only has two channels.

as you've found out, it's not a good setup for gaming.
