Cordless keyboards clashing.........

Hi,
I am running two computers about 10 mertres apart, computer "A" with Logitech FreedomKB and Mouse while computer "B" is running the Logitech iTouch Desktop.
My problem is that I cannot run both computers at the same time as both appear to be using the same radio frequency for the keyboard. My home computer (B) will delete and rename files and folders on my business computer (A) and visa versa. When I am typing on "A", I will hear sounds on "B", ie: "chord.wav" which is for "exclamation".
Is there an easy way to fix this as I really love my KB's and don't want to change either.
Thanks..........Nev
 
I know at least on wireless mice you can select from two different channels to be connected on. Try to set the keyboards also in this fashion.
 
I had this in an office when the person sat opposite me at an adjoining desk was using the same cordless setup. We called Logitech, and their solution was to tell us to "stick ONE of the recievers to the underside of the desk". Sounds wierd, but it actually worked.

 
Also try reading up on the secure channel feature the iTouch has. I have one and haven't had this problem, but this feature may help.
 
Thanks for the replies ppl. I ended up swapping the KB only and no more probs. Just unlucky to pick 2 KB's with the same frequency
