Hmm...I was using mine with a microsoft keyboard....I have so many
keyboards around here...who knows...maybe it was...
I don't plan to use bluetooth for the mouse. Seems like USB wireless
has worked a lot better than fooling with BT. Even for my laptop. Maybe
BT2.0 is better, but I don't want to risk it.
I'll read up on MXG7. Thanks.

I can't seem to find a review of a good mouse with a charging base. I
currently have a Logitech MX700. It's old and seems to be getting
flakely in tracking. I'd like to replace it with another mouse that
has a recharging base. Any recommendations? Thanks.
The only one I would even consider right now is the MXG7. It is a
laser cordless mouse.
But isn't the MX700 a optical mouse keyboard set? For a set get the
MX3200. Do not get a Blue Tooth Keyboard Mouse = MX5000 or
MX5500..... it is the worse thing Logitech has ever put out since
cordless hit the market. Of course, their drivers, in general have
gone from 100 percent reliable.. something you don't have to worry
about .... to <ify> back everything up before you install them.
Blue tooth delay is extremely pronounced, and Logitech Bluetooth
software simply doesn't work. You will spend weeks trying to sort it
out, ... that is assuming you can get it installed in the first place.
Just check the Logitech forums to read all the complaints and screaming.
I have been using Logitech cordless mice, and later mice keyboard
combos since the first one came out in the Win3.1 days. A big 3 button
mouse that was great to play the original Doom with.
But just recently, I made the mistake of getting a MX5000 and I have
tired of cordless delays as the mouse comes out of sleep mode, and
worse ...content disconnects. I wanted trouble free performance, and
greater mouse precision.
I just got a refurbished corded Logitech G15 keyboard... the original
one with the fold up back lit LCD screen. I love this thing. To go
with it I got a corded G5 mouse on a Teflon pad. This thing is so
light and responsive it is like snot on ice. Going back to corded was
not as annoying as I thought it would be, mostly because I sit in
front of a 30 inch monitor now and I don't really move the keyboard
and mouse around anymore.
Although on my second PC I use a MX3000 cordless set .... I wish I
could buy more of these. It is an older version and has the MX1000
laser mouse... a MaxiumPC favorite.
Good luck.
