Yes, both Bluetooth and 802.11b/g/n use the 2.4 GHz band. I've used a Microsoft 5000? Bluetooth wireless mouse with a WiFi-networked PC and noticed no significant interference one way or the other. The WiFi connection was weak enough that I was using a +10dBi antenna to get the signal strength up to 3 out of 5 bars. I'd say pick a mouse that feels good to use and try it: I'll bet you won't notice any interference.

I'd be curious to hear about your experience so please follow up with how it works for you.
