Yes, I also read an article a few years ago about two wireless keyboards 
in the same neighbourhood talking to each other. I think the ones that 
use encryption should be less vulnerable to this. Whatever it is, I'm 
not picking up any weird behaviour other than the freezing, and that's 
happened in at least two different neighbourhoods, though it appears to 
be more rare here than where I lived before.

Odd thing, this.
