Bluetooth Mouse lag

Anonymous

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 have the Microsoft Wedge mouse, but this issue has occurred with others as well (Logitech)

I don't have this problem with a 5ghz 802.11n wifi connection and a Sculpt bluetooth mouse. However, it does occur when other data is being transferred via bluetooth (e.g. bluetooth file transfer or bluetooth audio).

I don't believe I have been able to test with a 5GHz N connection yet, only 2.4GHz. I will see if I can find an access point that runs 5GHz. But even if that does work, I hope we can resolve this issues on the 2.4GHz band as so many places still run that frequency, even at N speeds.

Greetings MGarrett,

I would like you to try something. Can you Refresh your Surface, take all of the Windows Updates but do not install any Desktop or Windows Store apps. Once you have all Windows Updates, transfer files via WiFi while using your Bluetooth mouse, and see if the issue persists.
