    Problem with wireless mouse:
    Cursor slows down to a crawl, i have to push and pull it a bunch of times just to get it to move across the monitor. Problem is intermittant. Sometimes it dies and stays dead for 10 or 15 minutes at a time before it unfreezes and acts like a normal cursor, zipping and flying around again at the speed of sound. In dysfunctional mode, when it slows waaaaaaaay down to a crawl, right clicking and left clicking when the situation calls for it does nothing, nada, zero! And yes, the batteries are fine.

    What Logitech the manufacturer of the mouse says:
    Logitech says I might need to place the router as far away as possible from the mouse. Does that sound right, or are they off their rocker? Right now I have the router placed behind the monitor, about two and a half feet away from the mouse. Logitech says the farther away the better, 10 feet and more if possible, it's all about keeping them seperated, so says Logitech.
    Does it make sense that a router needs to be kept away from a wireless mouse in order for the mouse to work properly?

    It absolutely makes sense.

    If you have a router running at 2.4GHz (quite common these days) and Logitech is using 2.4GHz for their device, it's quite possible.
