Today I bought an "invisible optic" wireless mouse because my old one was having problems. However, as soon as I plugged it in, it does not seem to be working smoothy. (Plug in= bluetooth usb dongle)
It lags and moves very jumpily and whatnot, the same problem that my old mouse had. However, I have a third mouse which is a Logitech M310 and this mouse works perfectly, wherever and whenever.
I checked that there's no bluetooth interference, so why is this brand new mouse having such issues? Any suggestions as to why? Any solutions?

The range on those things is pretty short, so that's one possibility off the top of my head. Also, are you sure it's bluetooth (most wireless mice I've seen aren't) and not another wireless technology? It's possible (though unlikely) that something like a cordless phone would interfere with it. If it is bluetooth, its possible your laptop's built in bluetooth is interfering with the dongle, so try disabling it. It's possible there is something up with your table that is interfering with the laser. Depending on how old your computer is, it might have a USB 1.0 port where the mouse expects a 2.0

However, it is new and you said your old mouse had the same issue. Which leads me to believe that it could be something with your computer or USB. If the Logitech works fine, you should stick with that one or maybe exchange the one you bought with another Logitech model. Does the Logitech mouse have Bluetooth inference? That might be why it works better. If you have a laptop, you should bring it in to the tech department at the store you bought the mouse from and show them.
