[Wylug-discuss] Many Wireless Mice/Keyboards in the same room

[Gary Stainburn]

I have used a number of Logitech keyboards and mice in the same location / 
multiple computers and users without issue.  Some of the cheaper ones are one 
receiver <-> one device. Others you can pair up as has been said allowing one 
receiver to control a keyboard and a mouse.

I've not had any problems with cross talk between devices, or had people's 
mouse moving unusually.

Going evern further away from Linux.  Has anyone tried using bluetooth mice 
and keyboards with a Samsung Galaxy S2? 

I've got a USB host cable so I can connect memory sticks, card readers, or a 
keyboard and they all see to work great, but I was thinking about bluetooth 
as I'm getting tied up in cables.
