PS4 - Wireless mouse cutting in and out

My wireless keyboard and mouse had a good 10 ft range and could be obstructed my most things when I plug them in my laptop. When I switch them to ps4 my rang becomes about 5 ft an even having my leg in wrong spot obstruCT the mouse and keyboard. Fixing your channels could fix your issue but probably not.

Didn't think of the browser. Good idea. The only problem with troubleshooting in these ways is that the behavior in the game is somewhat sporadic. I guess when it starts happening, I'll immediately try the two things you mentioned. If it is an issue of them sharing a channel, do you think switching one to bluetooth would help?

I figured our the problem. Simply put, my couch cushion was partly obstructing the wireless signal between the mouse and dongle. Moved the mouse forward a bit and it was fine. Whew!
