Haven't had any interference problems with mine. With the USB ones, using rechargeable batteries and USB charging cradle, you can run the batteries down faster than they are charging, unless the system is on 24/7 or used infrequently for say 20mins or so a day. I modded mine to cure this problem. Those with USB receivers and AAA alkaline batteries may need a USB cable extender to put the mouse nearer the receiver, plugging the receiver into the USB port may result in the case shielding the the receiver from the mouse, causing erratic operation. There are quality wireless mices (mice, unless you watch Tom & Jerry) and cheapo ones that aren't too good, most are unbranded, so you don't know the good from the bad ones. I was looking at the Logitech G7 which according to specs is on th 2.4 GHZ

generally speaking if you see problems it will IMHO be more likely to show up in the mouse driver than the Wi-Fi driver simply do to the fact that the mouse is a lower power device than Wi-Fi. I don't believe you'll have a problem with the Logitech one. -- Show quoteDavid Hettel Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
