Well in my opinion, if anyone makes a keyboard/mouse that does not use standard protocols and work without any custom drivers, they are going to fail badly.
Certainly the logitech cordless mouse/keyboard set I have (not bluetooth) just appears as a usb mouse and keyboard (or optionally ps/2 mouse and keyboard if you use the other connectors) to the system and work with no special drivers required other than what you normally use for mouse and keyboard on that type of connector.
If you want to do networking or something over bluetooh, that is different, but that isn't what mouse/keyboard should require unless bluetooth was never meant to be used for such things. Not sure why you want bluetooth for the mouse/keyboard. Doesn't it use the same frequency range as 802.11b/g? I don't need more interference around the machine in that frequency range.
