Long story short, despite living in a detached home with not too much 2.4 GHz noise, my Logitech unifying receiver has trouble with my mouse at 20 centimeters from the receiver. Keyboard at roughly 7-8 centimeters range has less trouble, but not none.
I can't be arsed to get an USB extension cord or anything. This is a stupid-ass problem. I want to replace them with something new. What mouse would you suggest that's ergonomic, but not too expensive? I'd say 150€ is the absolute limit, but would prefer under 100€. Mouse should be wireless as I have a tendency of moving it around. It's just the Unifying Receiver tripping me up - I've not had much trouble with other wireless mice in the past, and the same mouse works completely fine on Bluetooth as far as range is concerned, but it's a pain to reconnect on Linux for some reason or another.
I do a little gaming, but mostly software engineering. Precision isn't as important as comfort. I also don't want to get something uber weird shaped, it should still look and feel like a mouse ideally.
No Bluetooth?
Hmm, actually if I only use the mouse and get a wired keyboard, that might work. Trouble is, I have to forget and re-pair them any time I switch devices and switch back, even though I use the 3 different connection profiles. Not a huge issue for the mouse as I don't need it to reconnect, but I do need the keyboard. So it's kinda hard to use the keyboard to connect to the keyboard over the command line (since no GUI tool seems to work reliably either, I honestly have no idea tf is going on here, I've given up debugging Bluetooth on Linux, I got my BT LE headphones working and now I don't want to touch ANY settings)
I have a thunderbolt 4 hub monitor that I have the Unifying Receiver connected to, and it's connected to my desktop 24/7, plus 2 laptops on demand. It's ridiculously convenient because as soon as I switch video input source on the monitor, my keyboard and mouse switch over to the proper computer. Ideally this is what I want to keep doing, just with a different dongle than the crappy Unifying Receiver for the mouse. Keyboard can get a cable, reduce the 2.4 GHz noise a bit.
