- imtringued 6y agoThat doesn't explain why Bluetooth is the protocol that causing the most trouble. Proprietary 2.4Ghz devices appear to work just fine.
- db48x 6y agoA Bluetooth device is much more complex than the proprietary wireless devices. The complexity is largely because Bluetooth hardware must support many different types of devices all with differing requirements. A proprietary keyboard dongle doesn't have to be able to deal with the audio traffic coming from a microphone or going to a headset. Furthermore, it doesn't have to support proper identification and authorization of each individual device; many of them will accept input from any compatible keyboard that happens to be near by.
