[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1113831, member: 56231"] Mac and wireless dongles are a mixed blessing. I have a M'soft cordless mouse which works fine with my eMac, but is a lottery with the iMac. Whether it's to do with USB2 vs USB 1 (respectively) I can only guess. Positioning of the mouse in relation to the dongle is another factor. Make sure there are no metal shields in the way. With the iMac, I put the dongle in a powered hub which I can position where I want it at some distance from the iMac. That sorts it out. Logitech is one of the best cordless mouse brands around, but whether or not that extends to its dongles, I can't really say. [/QUOTE]
