Wireless gear being interfered with doesn’t behave quite like this. Have 2 machines side by side with one having a paired Logitech mouse and keyboard, the other having a standalone Logitech mouse and a Kensington keyboard from the previous decade, closer to the previous century.

It’s actually fairly obvious when one device is getting low batteries, out of the Logitech gear. The interference is major and noticeable as skittering cursor on the mouse and dropped keystrokes on the keyboard. The Kensington keyboard just loses keystrokes to itself before going dead, but isn’t affected at all by the other three devices no matter how they’re doing.

Neither affects the connection at all for any device, wired or wireless.

Going back to the prior question about a failing mouse or keyboard. Windows isn’t at all shy about letting you know, with wired kit. You get the device disconnect/reconnect sounds each and every time they drop out and have to pick back up.

I have noticed issue since the W-8 updates the other night. My Browser is now crashing several times a day and some pages once just slow now take forever. I'm on dial up though. I see the This page can not be displayed notice about one in three times when I get a site to load. The new W-8 and the IE IMO is buggy as all get out. For example what I am typing now can not be corrected unless I hit preview first. It will type over my already written text erasing it.

ZC's issue though may be bad downloads due to bad connection not just slow but corrupted by static etc. That can cause havoc because it also corrupts updates.

I had a wireless keyboard and mouse do that straight out of the box with fresh batteries. The cursor acted like it had the DT's even set as slow as possible and the keyboard wasn't working right either.

If everyone else can get it to work and using remote access works also but the computer is going crazy after disconnecting from remote access that IMO points to mouse or keyboard simply due to the fact that is what changed when it stopped working. It could be internals of mouse or keyboard causing issues believe it or not including causing the RFI from it's internal components. Even wired mouse and Keyboards can go bad and do havoc.
