Wireless mice and keyboards

Hi,
Is there any risk of interference when using 50 wireless keyboard/mice in an open office environment?
Could any of the mice/keyboards control the wrong computer?

There's a theroretical risk with wireless dongles but the maximum number of users in that kind of range is 78 before you would see an overlap in communication protocol.

Bottom line is tell your supplier how they are going to be used before purchase, then if there's a problem you get them to fix :)
Also, the devices pair, so we are not seeing any issue with this and we use a lot of them.

John,
Thanks. Which brand/model do you use?
Logitech for the most part. One or two Microsoft but our preference is Logitech
Thanks!
I'm interested in this too.
But I have concerns about the rapid consumption of batteries and keyboards/mice accidentally going missing as they aren't wired/tethered.
This question needs an answer!
