    Suppose I am going to take a test in a huge room with hundreds of other test takers, and I take my Bluetooth mouse with me.

    If other test takers in the room also have a Bluetooth mouse, is there any danger that they might interfere with each other?

    They shouldn't. Each has its own unique identifier number (like a MAC address).

    There might be some residual interference, and I certainly wouldn't game with a mouse in that situation, but you won't have any problems like moving the cursor on somebody else screen or anything, so you should be fine.
