    Wireless mouse and Joystick problems?

    I've currently got a Saitek Cyborg Evo wireless joystick that runs on the 2.4GHz wireless frequency, I'm looking at buying the Logitech G7 mouse, which also runs on the 2.4GHz frequency. If I had both these running together would there be conflicts? Or would the run side by side with no problems.

    Not 100% on this so i wont say either way but i know that the g7 doesnt have any dip switches as its pre-syncd in factory

    If you do get one and you do find the mouse drops when you connect your joystick, you can manually reset the connection on the mouse so that they can re-sync themselves which with any luck would stop the conflict.....best bet tho is to give logictech a call, they are always pretty helpful when ive needed to ring them (+44 (0)207-3090126 Technical Help)

    Hope thats some help...sorry i cant say either way (details on manually syncing the mouse and receiver below)

    1.Run the Connection Utility (logitechconnect.exe)
    2.Click the mouse left button and keep it pressed until told to release it in the following steps
    3.Press the reset/power button under the mouse briefly (do not hold the button as it will turn the mouse off.)
    4.Click the right mouse button 5 times
    5. Release the left mouse button

    The G7 should be resynchronized with the receiver within a few seconds.

    Shouldn't be any problems, so I've ordered one from Scan today. If there are problems it'll be on Ebay by the weekend!
