    I was just curious if there are folks here who use the wireless receiver and have no problems. Because I'm getting all sorts of glitches.

    If the 360 wireless receiver is plugged in, my bluetooth mouse doesn't work at all. And in device manager, the bluetooth enumerator and the 2 bluetooth entries in Network disappear, and the adapter is disabled under a code 43 error.

    If the receiver is unplugged but the receiver driver is installed, the bluetooth might work, or might not. And sometimes the bluetooth adapter is disabled under a code 10 error.

    And the broadband connection through a net gear dual n gets a bit odd, the intel ac 7260 takes a long time to find the Internet signal, and sometimes doesn't.

    On the mouse side I've tried both a Razer Orochi and the Microsoft Sculpt Comfort, same result. If it was just the Orochi I'd assume its Razer's fault, but the MS mouse shouldn't have this problem. Both are dongle free BT devices though; I think most people use a dongle BT mouse and those might be ok. I don't have one to test. I might pick up the cheapest logitech to try it though.

    Mythlogic is completely 100% awesome btw, guy over there has been trying to figure this out or me, and offered to send me a new ac7260 as well as a Killer 1202, even though I told him I think it's a software/peripheral issue. So glad I bought my w230st from them.

    Never had issues, also I do not even thing its a bluetooth device if it was we would have ways to use it without the adapter like the PS3 controller. Do you have a official branded adapter or a knock off?
