Hello,
I am planning to use a DAW and I wish to fit a comfortable keyboard and mouse dedicated to it. I was thinking to buy a wireless RF kit like: "microsoft 7000".
Is it safe to use a RF wireless kit ( regarding electromagnetic noise issues) or I had better be off with a wired kit ?
 
As long as you're using shielded cables (TRS or XLR), I'd assume it wouldn't. The whole point of those is to have to wires, one running in phase, one 180 degrees out of phase, and when they hit the mixing board or interface, one of the signals is flipped 180 degrees, so both are in phase again.
This way, any noise that gets in to the wires (which when it enters them, would be in phase with each other) would have one of the two signals flipped 180 degrees out of phase with itself, thus cancelling itself out.
Of course, I'm not positive as I've never worked with wireless keyboards or mice... But I'd assume that the preceding would occur and wouldn't cause any problems.
