Wireless Keyboard & mouse
I need a new keyboard & mouse and I was looking at a schwanky wireless combo. Until I had a (rare) thought. Will it interfere with my guitar etc.
Has anyone had any good/bad experience of using wireless peripherals with their recording?

I would not recommend using wireless instrument connections when recording. Cables will provide a much better signal and are much less susceptible to noise or interference.

I think he means computer keyboard/mouse- not a musical instrument. I'm kinda curious about them myself. CJsmusic is a gear nut, maybe he's got some experience with this stuff.....There's also wireless control units available for getting around in your DAW from far away, like in a vocal booth/closet or behind a drumkit, that look pretty neat......

Why would a wireless mouse and keyboard interfere with a guitar plugged in using a cable? It wouldn't. I use a wireless mouse and don't have any problems with it. Its a completely different frequency range and besides wireless keyboards and mice have a very limited range, usually about 6 feet. He should be more concerned with his display inducing hum in the guitar pickups.

and if he wants to go in excess of 20' go bluetooth. I've had mine for over a year and never once a problem.

Never had any interference problems with my wireless mouse and K/bd. But I recently changed the mouse to a cable connection having got fed up with having to change its batteries too frequently.

I decided to go with a wireless mouse and keyboard... I did this primarily because I find a cord on a mouse can be maddening. The two came as a package - Logitech - and the keyboard means less wires to contend with (although, you have to make space for the little usb transmitter...).
Anyway, I haven't noticed any glitches related to this. This set-up also gives you the added convenience of mobility, such as moving the mouse off of the keyboard drawer onto the desk, and placing the keyboard on your lap, etc.
