Something that I've noticed is that *any* USB device -- USB wired 
keyboard or wireless keyboard with a receiver connected to a USB port -- 
is more sensitive to RFI than the old-fashioned 'PS2' keyboard and 
mouse.  The actual wireless part doesn't seem to be a problem.

Having said that, I have a very difficult RFI situation on 80/160 meters 
with the base of an inverted L antenna quite close to the shack.  So the 
answer probably is try it and if you have problems, deal with them the 
usual way (ferrites).
