optical mouse issues

In my home office we have 2 optical mice, 1 a logitech, 1 by dell. They interfere with each other, 1 stopping the other from working if both are used at the same time. I have seperated the control units as far apart as possible, will anything else work or am I better off getting a corded mouse for one of the computers?

I think Michael probably means two cordless (RF)? mice.

michail m, You may need to ensure that both mice are not trying to communicate on the same channel. Typically 6 are available and may have to reset one so as not to conflict with the other. If you go in the mouse properties you should be able to see which channel is being used and possible how to change it.
