Wait, ok, so my tower is on the other side of the room and my mouse drops inputs a ton- would this help that? Or is that more a transmitter issue?
Likely transmitter range issue, I really doubt it'd help for that
Damn, my search for an answer continues....
It won't help much, but a 1 meter USB extension will get the receiver that much closer to you. And maybe keep it from getting tucked behind something that blocks the radio.
It's certainly not blocked lol. I did get an extender to put the mouse dongle on top of something so it's in open, unimpeded line of sight and unobstructed in any way. Helped a little, but can't play multiplayer games as it still just cuts out every 10 mins for 5 secs
