If both are wireless, then they report independently to the receiver on different frequencies. The mouse does not interface with the KB. You could have interference on the mouse freq, it could be bad, or the batteries are weak (sometimes the supplied batteries are of poor quality, even rechargables). I have seen some software that sends the mouse off screen when not used for a while but that doesn't sound like your problem. Possible that you could have software conflicts in the computer if you can't find the problem externally.
