So, when you have your 'puter and your AM radio on, can you move your cursor with your radio?

mmmmm.............

well, i can conclude that your mouse and your radio both operate on or near the same frequency. you should be careful when you are driving to have your mouse unplugged because it could make you care go whack-o

Some of the cheaper wireless mice use 27MHz.

Upgrade the cars radio to FM or spread spectrum, no one has any business using AM anyway.

I personally would not be able to actually drive an rc and surf with a mouse at the same time. Takes me both hands to drive an rc which doesn't leave a lot of apendages to move the mouse - I'm not really very good with fine motor skills when using my feet. So the simple solution is when you're not driving the car, turn off the radio.

Unlikley. The output of a wireless mouse is so low that it couldn't cause any problems with the car unless maybe you put the mouse under the body...the range of the radio is probably 1/4 mile, the range of the wireless mouse transmission is probably 5-15 feet....
(in any case, how do you unplug a wireless mouse? )
