It works but takes some practice. I use this a lot when making like-type changes(say, adjusting the dimmer on 8 64 LED Pros). For color selection, I have better options.

my suggestion: Make a junk scene, then practice in there. Prevents you from hosing up a good scene. I arrange MyDMX with my first scene being a blackout, scene 2 being my work/junk scene. Scene 3 is a quick access scene that can change depending on the show.
I bring my Microsoft Optical mouse. I don't trust wireless keyboards and mice, had too many issues with batteries crapping out on me. Plus, my current(and now ex) crew was going through 6 months worth of batteries in a show, mainly to feed the digital camera! They went through 4 sets of batteries(16 batteries) in 1 show taking pictures, 99% of which were in the category of "stuff I don't want to waste space on photos of".

Dell is advertising this new wireless USB dongle that lets you connect up to 6 peripherals. It's not a Dell unit, I think it's Logitech. Regardless, the nice thing about this is, going with your suggestion of a small wireless mouse, the dongle is super small and won't protrude much from the USB port so you can just leave it in, which means one less part to lose.

I got my optical mouse and a back-up USB mouse. I'm good to go in all situations!

Once cool thing about MyDMX is it should be touch screen compatible. I'd like to run it on a tablet PC. Maybe someday soon they'll incorporate touch screen technology into most laptops. That would be super cool. Allen & Heath has their iLive consoles with built in support for a specific brand of touch screen as well.
