Title: Microsoft Wireless Deskset 4000 Interference
Post by: Bubblehead1955 on August 28, 2010, 08:32:14 PM

My wife and I each have one of these keyboards and mouse hooked up to our computers. Our desks are arranged back-to-back so that we face each other. We keep getting interfence from each others keyboard and mouse. Is there anything that I can do to keep this from happening except for one of us giving up our keyboard and mouse or moving our desk?

I don't find a channel switch on the receivers. All I find is a sync button.

Well other than fabricating a cardboard/tin foil barrier i think 1 of you may have to lose wireless...that or switch to another brand for 1 machine...
NOTE: No guarantees on the latter approach.

Patio, fabricated a cardboard aluminum foil covered screen and it seem to be working. Thanks.
