    Hello guys. I purchased a Lenovo Y50 laptop from Best Buy last week and I'm noticing something about the Intel 7260 Bluetooth 4.0 chip thats causing issues. When connecting a BT keyboard using the built in bluetooth, the keyboard types extremely slow, adds extra keys and is generally unusable. This gets worse when I plug in a USB stick into any port.

    The results were the same with a Lenovo K810 Bluetooth Keyboard as well as a SHARKK Backlit Bluetooth Keyboard (gotten from Amazon).

    I then disabled the built-in bluetooth and installed a Kinivo BTD-300 USB Bluetooth 3.0 Dongle. Both keyboards are working great using that dongle with no lag or any issues I experienced with the built-in bluetooth.

    Drivers: Lenovo supplies a driver from Oct 2013 for the built in 7260 bluetooth driver. I upgraded to the most recent driver on Intel's website (July 31, 2014) and have the same issues, so I'm not sure it's a driver issue.

    Was curious if anyone had similar issues or if I should look into an exchange. Thank you!
