Quoting from the Aldi site: "No direct visual contact between
keyboard,
mouse or receiver needed! "
But that could just mean that you can't see a cable, although I suspect
it would be RF.

May well be true :-)

I was a bit surprised to read that statement. I agree that Bluetooth
desktops are quite common, but I also recall that they can be
temperamental, certain bluetooth dongles only recognising certain other
devices etc. Maybe things have changed however :-) There certainly still
seem to be a lot of RF desktops available.
