well what exactly do you mean by conflicts?
are you referring to both "a" keys working , both "b" keys, etc..... and your kids pressing keys when you're trying to type an email or something?
if so they are both gonna work at the same time if plugged in and recognized
or are you having a problem having the keyboards recognized at the same time?
if they are both ps2 keyboards you'd need a dual ps2 input with some electronic buffering circuit to single ps2 output
if usb you'd need to make sure they are on two seperate usb hubs in some cases or on the same one in others (some keyboards won't co-exist with another usb keyboard at all so that may be your issue)
a possible workaround is a ps2 and usb keyboard to keep them seperate.
and yes you said wireless, i am of course referring to the wireless receiver's port connection being ps2 or usb.
also as they are wireless they'd need to be from different manufacturers and best case would be for 1 of them to be ifra-red and the other to be radio frequency

No I mean they are on different machines (1 upstairs and 1
downstairs), but they appear to be on the same channel, so
when the upstairs one types it appears downstairs etc.
Presumably they should be useable in multiples as they
have a 'connect' button, which if they were all designed
the same surely they wouldn't need!

I don't have a wireless mouse or keyboard, they seem rather
useless to me because I have to sit close enough to see the
monitor anyway. But just a suggestion, check the mouse
driver setup to see if there is any channel or coding
options.
See
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/learnmore/bowman_02july08.mspx
You might look in device manager for channel setup.
You might get an automatic channel selection if you
uninstall the mouse from one, turn the other computer and
mouse on, having them close enough to get signals crossed
and install the second device, it might be smart enough to
detect the other signal and switch channels.
What brand or brands of mouse do you have and how old are
they?
