Where I work, there is no wifi but iMacs are purchased with bluetooth mouse and keyboard. With a bunch of systems in a cubicle farm, bluetooth is not reliable, so users switch to USB mouse and keyboard.
Wired keyboard is fine, it's rather stationary. But having reliably used an Apple Magicmouse on macOS for years, there is no way I'd ever go back to a wired mouse. I'd go so far as to use Windows if the only other alternative was to go to a wired mouse.
Look into keyboard and mouse wireless dongles that are not bt. My desktop tower is pretty far behind me. I use a Logitech kbd&mouse. They use a single, tiny usb dongle for both. It was too great a distance, so I added a usb extender cable to get the dongle closer. Works great.
You may still have problems with BT. The wireless keyboard/mouse still use RF energy in the 2.4GHz ISM band like bluetooth and 802.11. I'm not saying you will have problems, but you might. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Brain: The organ with which we think that we think. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
