Will this KB/Ms be OK with a new Pi ?
Should I play it safe and pick up a cabled set?
Anyone?

You are correct in saying you will have problems.

I bought a Microsoft 800 wireless set which worked for another linux box,
But produced 'sticky' keys on the pi, to the point it was unusable .
I now use a wireless multimedia deskset made by ASDA (HKM8016B)
Cost about GBP15 if I remember correctly.
At this point I have to say I work for ASDA
Forgot to mention, version 1 pi ( not 512Mb) running Raspbian...

I had the same problem on the pi and my mint desktop. A cheap powered hub for the desktop fixed the issue but the same hub for the pi did not because it back fed power. Strange thing is that the usb transmitter has 50ma on it, which i thought both systems would be able to provide.
