How many devices can you connect to a USB Bluetooth Adapter?

[Kahlo kahlow]

So I've got a keyboard and mouse that I wish to connect with bluetooth on my desktop but I don't know if it'll support the 2 devices. I don't want it to just die and start lagging. If you can tell me it'd be nice here's the product I want to use: http://www.amazon.ca/Bluetooth-V4-0-Wireless-Adapter-Dongle/dp/B00E38N7QE/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_i

A master Bluetooth device can communicate with a maximum of seven devices.

Then I guess you don't know if that's a ''master bluetooth'' device?

Yes it is.

Yes it is.

Also, will it interfere with my wifi connection? I use a separate usb wifi adapter.
I heard that bluetooth and wifi work the same way. Just want to know if it will apply to this or not.

WiFi LAN communication protocol is completely different and is used when high speeds are required and communication distances are much further.

Bluetooth is meant for low-bandwidth communication between two or more devices that are near each other. The Bluetooth radio signal is also of much lower power.

Many laptop computers have both WiFi and Bluetooth and they don't have any problem when both are being used.

I'm not saying that it's impossible, just that it will rarely happen.

It actually did happen and it was quite annoying. I was using it on my hp stream 11 and I had a lot of problems with it. Either my connection would slow down immensely, or it would simply not connect anymore, the mouse and keyboard would have lag and they would sometimes just shut down for no reason. But my hypothesis is that the problem lies in the processor. Probably that the CPU reaches nearly 100% usage (dual core celeron is pretty weak) and would start fking up the bluetooth. So now I'm gonna use the keyboard and mouse on my desktop which is quadcore and rarely goes about 60%

If the CPU can't process the flood of the data that it is receiving, quickly enough, then the device will be put into a wait/halt state until the CPU can catch up with the backlog before resuming the acceptance of more data.

I see... So I was right. Well now I'm gonna enjoy bluetooth to its fullest with my desktop
It was really a nightmare with my hp stream 11. I even though at first that it was the wifi/bluetooth doing this.
