Why does my cell phone getting a text message make my mouse not work?

Asked by eenerweiner (444points) January 6th, 2010

My co-worker and I both recently got new mice for our computers (PC) at work. Since we switched to the new ones we have notice that if a cell phone gets a text message while within 6 inches or so of the mouse it quits working and has to be unplugged as replugged in. It is rather annoying to unplug and plug in the mouse when you forget and set your phone too close or someone standing nearby gets a message. They are optical and connected via usb cable. Has any one else had this problem and is there anything that can be done to fix this permanently? Or do we just have weirdo mice?
