Hmmmm, I'm at work now and am happy to report that the keyboard and
mouse here do NOT register on the Electric scale of my Trifield
meter, so it is not a general rule after all, which is good!  

But it leaves a mystery what is going on at the house. I am staying
at my sister's in the one room in her house that has low magnetic
EMFs and is my sleeping refuge (the rest of the house fluctuates
greatly). Another oddity is that the phone lines there also register
really high on the Electric scale, even with no phone attached. This
was the same weird situation at my house, from which I had to leave
recently -- and my headaches have much improved as a result. (Power
lines outside the house cannot be changed. My physical problem
started, however, as a result of frying beneath a compact fluorescent
light mounted over my pillow for 7 years.

thanks for any comments.
