logigitech cordless optical mousman

[foodog]

FWIW, my Logitech wireless stuff (work & home) seems to work best when
the "base station" (dunno what it's really called.  The box that KB &
mouse comm thru) is on it's side instead of sitting flat on the four
tiny rubber feet.

I place it with the cable side down and the "Connect" button side facing
me.  I've had problems even at very close range with it lying flat.  HTH
