Recently bought the Surface Pro 128GB.
Having been annoyed by the temperament of the touchpad, I bought a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse.
What I've found is that, when copying data over a network, the bluetooth mouse begins to lag.
Using the touchpad/pen is unaffected.
Makes me wonder whether the Wireless NIC and Bluetooth Module are using the same bus and/or whether this is a known issue.

I can confirm the same issue the other users are reporting. Surface Pro, all updates done and Bluetooth mouse lag when copying files that renders the mouse unusable. Ocassionally the same lag even when not copying files. I have the Microsoft Bluetooth mouse.
i have the same problem
guess its because the same bandwidth used by both wifi and bluetooth

Ive got the same problem here with my Surface Pro 2. Any time there's heavy network activity(seems to do it for me when downloading OR uploading. Even watching a youtube video is enough to trigger it most times. Ive got an additional issue though, i've got a generic bluetooth mouse that does it but i have a USB MS Wireless Mouse 3500 that does it as well! I had the issue first with the usb and then found that bluetooth did it too, all the while the touchpad/pen work fine. There's gotta be a driver to fix this right?
Same interference related lagging between Wedge and Surface Pro 2.
Disappointed that a supposedly high end product can have this kind of user experience.
Another reason to buy Apple.

To be fair, ANY computer that uses this chipset will have the same Bluetooth lag when the 2.4 ghz Wi-Fi is maxed out. This includes the most recent and prior generation of the MacBook Air. The Apple discussion forums have a similar thread with the same complaints, and I have tested this on my wife's MacBook Air as well.
If it could be fixed with a driver update, I'm sure it would have been by now. The fact that that has not happened indicates it is a physical design issue.
