Yes to all the below. I use cordless Logitech mice and keyboards with
my Sun Rays all the time.
Note however that recently when I looked around Best Buy for a
bluetooth mouse I found that they were unusual and expensive.
Much better to buy a cordless mouse with a tiny USB receiver - they
have ones that only have a tiny nub extending beyond the USB
connector now, for unobtrusive, semi-permanent installation in a
laptop. I chose a slightly larger one the size of a fingernail so
that I could share it among a few laptops as needed. I love it.
Bluetooth appears to be more relegated to cell phones now than to
laptops, from what I see.

Many thanks guys for the responses, looks like the internal Bluetooth
controller of the laptop will be fine according to you and a USB dongle
based keyboard/mouse system will work with my Ray too!
I don't understand though why they say Bluetooth on some of the mice and
keyboards but then on others they claim are cordless or wireless but not
Bluetooth??? Is that because they already have the dongle in them in
terms of package so when you buy say a mouse you get the dongle too
while Bluetooth mouse wouldn't have dongle?
-I can't imagine anyone using proprietary RF signaling techniques for
mice/keyboards when 802.15 (Bluetooth) would be more generically
compatible. But it might be the difference which you are mentioning!!
Anyway will go ahead now, as I trust you guys :-)
