If I have my USB external drive plugged into the port next to the little USB dongle for my wireless logitech mouse, the mouse doesn't work properly. I have to shift one of the USB connectors to the other side of the laptop.

Omg, I had the same problem few years back and was blaming Logitech for poor wifi connection. Now I know..

Same here. I had an issue with Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. Whenever a pendrive was plugged in to an USB hub both the mouse and keyboard had their ranges reduced to about 20cm.

I'm glad I can finally have some closure :P

My wireless mouse literally just stopped working when I plugged my phone into the USB 3 port next to it to load an APK onto it...

This explains so much. FFS.

Nice to see it actually described in this document. I replaced a few sets of batteries before I realised the coincidence.

I have the same problem with a Plugable dock and Logitech keyboard, and actually it was on their website which I first found out about this issue and link to Intel's site. Plugable says that getting any small amount of distance between the USB3.0 chip and the 2.4ghz transmitter/receiver helps, and recommended using a USB2.0 extension dongle to get the needed separation.

I always got much better signal by plugging my mouse into a usb 2.0 hub attached to my 3.1 hub as opposed to directly attaching it to the 3.1 hub, and I just chalked it up to distance and cheap components. Mystery solved!
