    I have a wireless mouse.
    It's a logitech one: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/pr...CONTENTID=7061

    Whenever my neightbour plays with his remote contorlled car (little kid, he plays with it a lot) my mouse goes all jerky, sometimes it stops moving altogether.

    Is there anything i can do about that?

    :spamfrown JK. How close is the car to you residence? It must be one hell of a high quality vehicle to screw you mouse up

    It's a gas powered one...hopefully it will burn itself.

    Have you tried changing the channel that you mouse works on? I believe this will change the frequentcy that it operates on, therefore it won't share the same frequency as the car's remote.

    I was thinking something like that.
    How would i do that though? the only idea i have is press the reset/connect button but that didn't do anything.

    In the battery compartment there should be a switch for selecting channels.

    or ask him if he has more than one frequency cyrstal set for his car, and try that, see if you get less interference,
    although i though rc cars used completely different frequencies than other wireless stuff.
