I run a trust ami 250sx optical and wireless mouse, it has a ps/2 connector.
runs strait out of the box Mandrake 9.0
2 side buttons work also needs slight changes in XF86Config-4
Nevertheless any key board or mouse that is ps/2 will work in linux regardless of distribution
or whether or not its wireless or not. All this said many modern keyboards have all kinds
of multi media hotkeys, these will however need specific driver support.
I have no idea about usb devices but I image it to be the same scenario.
I am of the personal opinion that half the keys on the keyboard are a waste of space and are no good for nothing. Check out a real Linux Keyboard The "Happy Hacker Lite MK2" .
I hope this was of some help.
