Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am just about to go and buy a Logitech ergonomic mouse; I'll stick to the wired version.

I think it's the keyboard that is at risk so you will be safe with a wireless mouse.

Mice are also vulnerable but it is obviously harder to execute remote commands via a mouse but i would still also be worried that the dongle may also accept keyboard input due to cross use of hardware

Thanks for cleaning that up. I thought it might have been impossible to hijack one's computer without a clear line-of-sight to the screen.
