It's the "nano receiver" . . . Isn't that the plug in USB thingy ?

Those that show a picture seem to just show that, anyway.  




Yeah, that's the almost invisible USB dongle that they use.

Uh-huh . . .

most, now, seem to rely on the nano (USB) receiver and I reckon that wouldn't pick up the signals too well as the P.C itself is in a cupboard under the worktop

. . . . A desk-mounted receiver really is ideal . . .

Like ryan said, anything logitech or Microsoft ones are all good but likewise double check it's not a 'mobile' mouse as these are tiny!!

As for the receiver you can always just get a short 1m usb extension lead and connect the dongle to that......

Does your Monitor have any passthrough* USB ports in it? I know sometimes they do, if so it could be plugged into that.

* Additional USB Ports (normally found on the bottom or side of the screen) that are not used as a video-input option for the monitor.

The monitor does have two USB ports on the side ..... Doubt whether these were connected to the PC, though.

No, they weren't.

So I've ordered a Microsoft Comfort Desktop 5000 (!!!)

A lot seem to come with the tiny little mice but this one seemed pretty solid looking with a full-sized mouse.

We'll see.

I bought a couple of 1m extension cables, too . . one for the keyboard & mouse and one for my bluetooth thing-ma-jig that I use sometimes for transferring pictures from my phone (it's hidden at the back of the P.C, too so transfer can be slow).



Just hope it arrives for Friday.

As an aside, will still be coming to lan but will not be around on the Saturday much as need to pop to see my mum as she having her hip done the week before so won't be very mobile and both my sisters aren't around on the Saturday, will still be there Friday, and Sunday as well as Saturday night but just not during the day


Change of plan again.....sounds like mum be going in for op tomorrow (Wed) so may still need to disappear for a few hours on Saturday to pop and see her,  as although she probably still be in hospital, it not nice for her to see no one the whole day as my sister's are in London

Its taken about a hour but I'm now back up & running, Startup repair fixed whatever was wrong but it took 4 goes at it.

So limited functionality from the OR this weekend but a Kick-ass rollercoaster sim does work

Edit: Had to completely uninstall Oculus stuff, will work on this later.
