Infrared keyboard and Mouse?

[balakrish]

Hi friend!

Of course I know,this is not the right place to ask this question. But I'm asking this,because i dont find any other good place.I wanna use the technology of the optical mouse and infrared keyboard (Yes!both are virtually same technology)in my project. Which part i want to use is, the sensing part of mouse and infrared keyboard (yeah! people call it sensor).Can I do that? or any other patent will stop me from doing this??

Please reply only if you know the EXACT ans. Because i don't want to break any patents.

Thank you,
Bala Krish

^^ Go ahead, the patents don't come into play unless you are planning to commercially sell your products, for college projects do whatever you want.
