keyboard/mouse question

[bartolommeff]

I have the microsoft wireless laser mouse 5000 but would like to get a wireless keyboard to go along with it. I am just wondering one thing: if i get a keyboard, will the USB receiver of the mouse pick up the signal of the keyboard? i dont want to have 2 of those things plugged in taking up an additional usb port.

thanks

I've used multiple wireless mice/keyboards together without incident before. yrmv. sounds like you need a cheap little usb hub

Unless it's a package deal I don't think the single mouse receiver will do a keyboard as well.
