Actually the keyboard is one of the new apple wireless keyboards, model 
A1255.  Apparently there was an older model of the same name.

The mouse is a "Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000".  Neither of 
these need any special windows drivers.  Does each new device need to be 
supported in bthidd?
