Bluetooth Mouse lag

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.

    FYI, that isn't even a Bluetooth mouse, is runs on RF. Bluetooth technology uses 79 channels and performs 1600 hops per second between them, there is no manual channel selection. This discussion is specifically focused around using a BLUETOOTH mouse with the MS Surface devices.

    i also encounter this issue with my sculpt mouse lagging but mine was lagging all the time!

    i just brought this Surface Pro and the mouse together.

    i need a SOLUTION from this!

    this machines is not a cheap machine and i do not expect will have this kind of experience!

    Hmm... I have also tried it with the MS Mouse 5000. I dont have a lag at all. Guys... Just try using another channel with a different bandwith from bluetooth. Maybe thats really the problem.

    Maybe... But I don't such problems. I assume the architecture of all Surface Pros are the same.

    I am using a Logitech Bluetooth mouse http://wirelessworld.allalla.com/wp-content/uploads/Wirelessworld/Wireless-Mouse/Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse/Logitech-Bluetooth-Mouse9747.jpg

    Even if I transfer big chunks of data (HD Movies) I dont't have any lag.

    Alexei,

    Thanks for the input. I completely understand where you are coming from.

    However, I'm led to believe that the Marvell Avastar 88W8787, which is fitted to the Pro's, have independent Wifi and Bluetooth Channels.

    This should provide sufficient seperation if the wifi does hog bandwidth.

    I believe the lag comes from the single bus that the adapter is connected to.
