The problem continues, and it is very exasperating. 

I have the same exact make/model mouse for my laptop which is right
next to the desktop. It works flawlessly. I have swapped the mice and
whichever one is connected to the laptop works perfectly and the one
connected to the desktop continues its jerky behavior.

At this point it just has to be an RF problem. Unfortunately, I do not
have a wired mouse to test with, but I discovered something else that
sort of proves that it is RF interference: Both mice are Logitech M185
mice Part# 8100C5234, so I just turned off the one connected to the
laptop, et voilà! The mouse connected to the desktop started working
perfectly.

At least I have a temporary workaround, but now I need to figure out a
permanent solution. I already tried physically moving them, but
both mice need to be at hand while I am at my desk, so options are
limited and I already tried moving the receivers as far as I could
without success. Any other suggestions?
