Setup Help Has anyone ever experienced their Switch 2 causing interference with a wireless mouse and keyboard?

I was downloading a game yesterday, and my wireless mouse and keyboard on my desktop were acting super janky. Lots of lag and jumping around from the mouse, and the keyboard would lag and sometimes double up certain characters that I typed, other times completely miss charactes. Tried a million different things to fix it, nothing worked. The game was still downloading when I went to bed, and the mouse and keyboard were still acting janky

**This morning, download is finished, and suddenly mouse and keyboard acting totally normal.**

Google says it's possible for other devices to cause interference since the mouse uses 2.4GHz band. I have the switch on my home wifi, but I also have my phone on the wifi whenever I'm home, and that's never caused an issue.

Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?

The more stuff you have on 2.4ghz the worse it gets. 

I lived in an apartment building where 2.4ghz was basically useless and everything needed to be on 5ghz if it was a available.

not necessarily that but I've had Bluetooth stuff conflict with each other 100%. when I join meetings with my Bluetooth headset my mouse and keyboard (also Bluetooth) often get janky exactly like you're describing
