some things to look into. Mouse sensitivity in the desktop
hardware settings. changing the batteries. using different
USB ports for the dongle. replacing the keyboard or mouse.
it might be the case that your dongle is getting stray
signals from some other device. if you have a lot if
devices sending signals perhaps they're interferring with
each other somehow. i've only had the mouse being run by
a dongle and that has never had issues. instead i have
issues with keyboards not lasting very long (but they are
corded ones since i don't like the cordless types).
