Logitech MX700 and Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro Problem

Hi, my 3 yr old MS Natural Keyboard Pro died on me about 3 weeks ago, so I picked up the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro to replace it. It does come with a mouse, but I love the feel and shape of my MX700. So, at first I thought everything was good because both were working just fine, but then I noticed something odd. I went to click on a different window, and it wasn't made the active window. Tried doing the same thing by clikcing on the task bar on the bottom. I ended up hitting a couple of keys on keyboard, and then the mouse worked fine again after that.

So, it seems that the mouse and keyboard are interferring with each other every now and then, and the only way I can get both to work at the same time is by pressing a keyboard button once or twice. I have the reciever for the keyboard on the left side of the montior, (if you are facing the monitor) and the crade/reciever for the MX700 on the right hand side. I looked at Logitech's site and there's only two channels for the MX700 mouse. I haven't found any listings of what channels the keyboard uses. Should I try to sepearte the two recievers more? Or should I look into the MX900 since it's bluetooth, or should I use the mouse that came with it (ugg....). The reason I went with this keyboard was becuase it had the Natural split in it, and normal arrrow keys. Any other advice would be great.
 
Here's the biggest problem. They both use the same channel frequency for receiving signals from the keyboard and mouse. It *WILL* clog. Some information sent (as you click a button) will often go off to the other receiver and the first receiver would never get it. The only solution I can think of atm is to get the same brand-- (the Logitech MX duo of course). I would recommend you to return the keyboard and say "it doesn't work at all". They will accept that. get the Logitetch's wireless keyboard and you would be set (I believe/hope so).

I think if you have the logitech software, you can change the channel that your mouse uses....
 
Ok. I just instaleld the logitech software. no problems so far, still need to test it out while playing games, like WCIII. However, would I be mistaken if I were to assume that if I purchased an Mx 900 that there would conflict since they are using different frequencies.
