Default A wireless mouse 30 or more feet away

I was looking for a corded mouse that works 30 or more feet
away. It's for a computer with two monitors at two rooms.
But I didn't found one. Now I'm searching for a cordless
solution. But most I found has a control distance of 6
feet. Does anyone know a mouse that works 30 feet away?

Feeling tied down by your mouse? The $80 (street) Gyration Ultra GT Cordless
Optical Mouse frees you. This unique device uses a dual-axis gyroscope to
detect a wide range of motion. Within 30 feet of the USB radio-frequency
(RF) receiver, moving the mouse pointer on-screen is as simple as waving
your hand in the air. Should you want to sit at a desk, though, the Gyration
Ultra GT also acts as an optical mouse.

Sounds like you need a custom solution. Buy a normal wireless mouse and
hack the transmitter for more wattage. You'll get less battery life and
I'm not sure how to go about during this. But it should be possible.
