I just bought a Logitech G7 mouse on recommendation from a friend. The mouse feels great and works really well but I have run into a really annoying issue.

I have my Macbook on my bedroom desk which also contains my main gaming PC. It seems that every time I upload or download a large file, the mouse starts being unresponsive and jerky. As soon as network activity from my Macbook stops, the mouse goes back to work normally.

I know that both 802.11 b/g and the mouse use the 2.4GHz spectrum but I was under the impression that the mouse used channel hopping so that this interference issue would not occur.

This seems more of a spectrum issue but do you think installing the Logitech drivers would help?
 
What kind of router do you have? On a linksys type in the default gateway into your browser, and in the wireless options you can change the wireless channel. Try another one and see if it helps.
 
I am using a D-Link DIR-655 with the 1.21 firmware. I tried going from auto channel to random manual channels with no success.
 
I had the same problem with a conflict between my G7 and USB Wi-Fi receiver. I solved the problem by changing the channel of my wireless network to something > 7.
