[UK-CONTEST] Wireless keyboard and mouse in the shack?

[g3nkc at talktalk.net]

I went down this path last year; most are 27MHz devices. Go to PCWorld or
whatever; note the FCC certification number; and google search the
certification paper work, and that will tell you !

I bought a quite pricey Bluetooth remote keyboard and mouse last year
(Logitech MX5000 I think; but check !). I think I paid around ?70 for it.
It generally is fine from home; bought failed the MD4K test in IOTA last
year (we think the keyboard itself is sensitive to 40mtrs, with an amp on !)

The manufacturers are more likely to tell you if it's a Blue tooth device on
the packaging, since it is seen as being more sexy !

I use a Belkin Wireless Keyboard and mouse which gives me no problems at all
on HF, I run legal limit power at times. I don't use VHF.

The Keyboard part No is F8E849KYBD

Anyone using a RF wireless keyboard and mouse in the shack and finding
it sensitive to RFI ?
I use an Infrared wireless keybd and mouse so no problem of course.
However the YL wants to buy a new Wireless desktop set for her PC and
they all seem to be RF wireless types now, (what freq?) Are these
things prone to RFI in a typical HF radio environment. Not QRO or
indoor antenna situation.

Any suggestions, make, type, known to be ok?

Thanks
