Thank you for sharing our experience, I went on and ordered this one, it will arrive the day after tomorrow and then we will seeI also use a wireless keyboard and mouse on my work/home office HP Z Book which I occasionally use with various DAC/Amps.
I use a Microsoft Surface Keyboard and Mouse and like them, no key lighting though, I am not sure how common that is on a bluetooth keyboard since they are only powered by a couple of small batteries.
More importantly I don't believe there is any downside to using them in terms of sound quality of connected devices.
What you do want to avoid is using a USB-C hub.
I have a second Dell screen that has a built in hub which connects the screen and powers the laptop. While great in terms of other functionality there is some audio downsides. If I use a connected audio device with the laptop plugged into the second screen, and thus the hub and power, I can hear annoying scraping sort of noise when moving the mouse. If I removed the screen by simply unplugging the USB-C the noise disappears and I can use the mouse connected to the laptop without issue. I have read other references to audio issues with USB-C hubs, presumably the downside of having so much happening over one small cable.
