I got bluetooth headphones for Christmas and now my 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard and mouse are acting up. Why?

My mouse keeps scrolling up on it's own and the keyboard keeps hitting the back arrow on it's own.

The headphones are MOTOROKR S305 and the keyboard and mouse are Microsoft wireless 3000. This started happening as soon as I turned the headphones on. I've tried shutting them off and taking them to the other end of the house and nothing works. I had to get out my original Dell keyboard and mouse. Is it possible to use them both?

    Sounds like it's a compatibility issue...try plugging them in a different USB port on the computer. If it's still acting up it may be that the head phones put out to much interference for the keyboard and Mouse to work with them.

    No, bluetooth and 2.4Ghz (common wireless connection) aren't the same, both use different technologies, bluetooth has normally a better coverage and it wont interfere with your cordless phone or your wireless router (if you have any of those). Much of the devices out there work with common batteries (normally 2AA batteries), but some of them have rechargeable batteries. If you're planning to buy a keyboard/mice make sure that if works with bluetooth and the best brand for wireless keyboards/mice is Logitech. Hope this helps!
