    Absolutely. I'm running a Microsoft bluetooth mouse and keyboard combo and it works fine. You can even still send a file over bluetooth to your phone if you want.

    Hehe. I'll one-up you. I use my bluetooth mouse all the time while I'm connected to the Internet via bluetooth to my phone ;) That's how I'm posting this comment. And when I'm not connecting to the Internet through it and I'm at a client site, I use my phone as a proximity lock so when I walk away from my computer it locks the screen.

    I wish there were more things that used bluetooth. Especially full-size mice for less than $75.
