That would work fine. Type-4 and type-5 keyboards are interchangable, as are
their mice, with the proviso that you use the right type of pad with each
type of mouse. Type-5 optical mice use a pad with a much smaller grid than
type-4's.

If you use a type-5 mechanical mouse then it doesn't matter since anything
can be a mouse pad for it. 8-)

The only time you'd need to worry is if you wanted to use a type-4 keyboard
in place of a type-5 when you needed the functionality of the extra keys on
the type-5 keyboard.

Regards,

Craig.
