Wireless Mouse Question

[Kelsenellenelvian]

I have my standard ms wireless optical mouse and I also have a 5 port usb hub with one port of it heading into the tower I have never had any use for the inside port.

My question is: can i put the reciever for my mouse inside my tower? I mean can I affixe it to the bottom of the inside of my tower and still be able to use it fine?

I don't see why that wouldn't work. I would assume your range might decrease a bit with all the power inside the case, but as long as you're less than say, 10 feet from the receiver, you should be alright.

thats a cool idea, i currently have a wired mx510, LMK, i might buy a cheap mouse 2 try it out too

inside port? wow that's the first time i hear that, u might have plugged it wrong or something, does it actually work? if it works u'll be fine with the mouse, ms wireless has long range.

Yeah the **** thing even said on the box that it has 5 ports but on is on the INSIDE of my case. YES it works I had a pocket drive in it for awhile. These cards are not really un-common around here.

if one is added to the inside of the case, would it be very hard to bump up the signal strength on it or maybe just create a whole new transmitter/receiver for it?

What I did before was using double sided tape to tape it on the front of my housing and use the internal connector to connect it. So, that way I realy had wireless .

ps, don´t put it iun a metal box, your signal will go bad, just tape it on the front, for example on drive bay fronts that are not used .
