I have a Microsoft wireless desktop/mouse set, and the mouse is beginning to die (I think). I've been thinking about just getting another wireless mouse, but can you use two wireless base stations that close together? Thanks!

I don't see a problem with that... but ditch Microsoft and go for a Logitech wireless mouse. the MX700 is awsome :)

I've used the MX700 with 1 Cordless Keyboard/Mouse Combo from Logitech, plus the MX500 and another USB hooked up at the same time and they all worked fine ... Considering 1 usually uses/plays 1 Mouse at a time (exception being the in your pocket;))...you should be fine!

You may need to play with the placement of the recievers to avoid problems. I was using a Logitech Cordless Elite Duo and got a MX700 mouse, the MX700 will not work on the Elite Duo reciever, so I had to use both. Everything was fine until I replaced the batteries in the keyboard, my MX700 started acting really strange at times, finally realized it started happening when I replaced the batteries in the keyboard. I moved the reciever for the MX700 a few inches and the problem went away...:D

I finally dumped that POS Logitech keyboard anyway, never did like that thing...;)
