WiFi is interfering with wireless Logitech VX Revolution mouse

I'd been having trouble with my Logitech VX Revolution wireless mouse after about 2 years of ownership. I figured that, since I use it all the time, it was worn out. The problem I was having was that the left-click would only register about a third of the time. As I said, I thought I had just worn the mouse out so I bought a new (refurbished, actually) VX Revolution and receiver and I'm still having the same problems. That caused me to Google this, and apparently I'm not the only one with these issues.

"Alright, sorry for answering my own question again, but I figured out the problem and I hope this helps others. I had been using the Broadcom wireless driver that installed with Windows 7. I rolled back to an old driver (5.10.38.26) and since then I've had no problem with my wireless mouse at all. Now, as I'm writing this, I'm sitting in a campus lounge, and there is a girl with a laptop that is nearly (or exactly, I don't know for sure) the same model as mine. Suddenly, my wireless mouse is screwing up again. I'd wager that she is running the newer driver that Windows Update provides, and it is messing with my wireless mouse.

Hope this info helps anyone who has like problems."

I dug out my USB wireless adapter and am using it on the same laptop, same network, and with the same mouse and it seems to work fine, even at very fast download speeds. Maybe something about the Broadcom card in my laptop doesn't play nice with my mouse.
