 Yes, you can have multiple input devices of the same type.  Precisely the same 
principle is at work on a laptop when someone chooses to plug in either an 
external keyboard or external mouse.  In the case of an external keyboard I 
have never seen the native keyboard disabled in any way by the use of one.  For 
an external mouse you can, if you so choose, instruct the mouse pad driver on a 
laptop to disable it if an external mouse is detected.

In theory, at least, you should be able to have as many wireless keyboards as 
you have USB slots for the dongles.  Just don't try having everyone type at 
once!
