Yes, but virtually NONE of the wireless desktop keyboard/mouse things
are wifi or bluetooth. They come with a usb dongle that enumerates as

with, say, a Logitech wireless desktop.

O.K. But how do I convince it to not accept from a second
wireless trackball in the same room? (In particular, how do I convince
it to do that without having it on a Windows system?

I bought a Logitech wireless keyboard and a trackball and ran their
Unifying program to make the keyboard run in parallel on the
trackball's USB transceiver. That works fine, but now the keyboard
won't talk to the dongle it came with.

"Unifying program" -- wants Windows, right? Maybe available for
Apple's OS-X as well. Certainly not for a Sun workstation running
Solaris 10. :-)

DoN, yesterday I started a new Logitech wireless keyboard + mouse,
came with one tiny transmitter. It runs fine on that Beaglebone Black
running Debian Linux. We've got wireless mice (mostly Logitech) on
all our laptops all over the house. They don't conflict. Each is
definitely keyed to its transmitter, can't mix & match.
