Asunto: Wireless mouse basestation transmitting wired keystrokes ?

I taked to a guy who were claiming that if you have a wireless mouse, with a
basestation that also is able to use a wireless keyboard. Then if a wired
keyboard is used instead, there is a risk for the basestation to transmit
the keystroke onto the wireless, as some kind of acknowledge to the
non-existing keyboard.

I'm not sure this is the right list to ask this, but am very interested in a
answer to this claim. Does anybody know if this is true or false ?

Thanks, Peter
