- Low batteries
- Moving the Unifying USB receiver from one USB port to another
- Moving the Unifying USB receiver to another computer
- Plugging the Unifying USB receiver into a USB hub or other unsupported device such as a KVM switch (your Unifying USB receiver must be plugged directly into your computer)
- Using your cordless mouse on metal surfaces
- Radio frequency (RF) interference of more powerful wireless devices such as:
- Wireless speakers
