I'd look for ones with external antennas then because like wifi & cell phones that is
the achilies heel. Also dongle to dongle may get better results because the dongle
tends to be the stronger side of the link.

I just went through some USB-Bluetooth blues at work. Co-worker is left
-handed and so, mouse is on left side of his monitor where the bluetooth
dongle sticks out from the left side of his Dell LCD monitor. Mouse
works fine.
I'm right-handed, so move the mouse over to the right side of the
keyboard on the desk. Mouse barely works at all. That's barely 3 feet
left to right of re-orientation and what a difference.
His USB dongle is one of those little stubby ones that only stick out
about 3/8" from the USB socket. There might have been interference from
the LCD face being in between dongle and mouse and mouse no longer being
line-of-sight to the dongle.
It's real-world experiences like this that make me wary of using Class 2
bluetooth for my project and it's why I'm asking for others to share
their bluetooth experiences. On paper, bluetooth looks like a great
technology, but I need verification by third party users.
