Has anyone else experienced this issue, having a Bluetooth mouse lag when you have the Surface Pro keyboard attached (Microsoft-branded keyboard, which I believe also uses Bluetooth).

I read a couple of places that for the Pro 2 at least, it couldn't really handle multiple bluetooth devices. Is this true for the Pro 3 as well? Because I'd like to keep the USB 3.0 port free for storage devices so I'm trying to find a Bluetooth mouse that works with the Surface Pro 3 and the Microsoft Typecover keyboard at the same time without lag.

After doing some Google searching, I found a "workaround" and it has to do with the 2.4GHz Wifi. Haven't tried this myself,. but many are saying that if you switch to a 5GHz network, the lag is not an issue, as like most laptops and portable devices, the wifi and bluetooth are in the same module in the unit. So, if you're having this problem, try switching to a 5GHz network and see if this helps reduce/solve the problem.
