Unifiing receiver, strange connectivity issues

Hello again,
here is the other problem, i've got, sometimes i experience strange input lags from my wireless keyboard one the logitec unifiing receiver, either it ignores the entries or it stuck on one letter for a second or something ... and it changes from okay to worse and back... idk why , it was a bit better after some bios update but only for 2-3 weeks or so.... i already tried the same stuff, like different kernels, regular update, reinstalling everything, those bios updates and rearranging the usb devices ....

I recently had some very weird connection issues with a logitech mouse using a unifying receiver. The issue was that the receiver really didn't send a strong signal and that weak signal was easily interrupted by a laptop screen. Try plugging the receiver in within line of sight of the keyboard.

yeah, thaught so too, and had (and have back) the receivers in the front usb, about 1,8m distance... but it doesnt make a big difference... :confused:
but its not allways like that, so i'd figured it might be some driver or settings issue ?!
