this is easy to solve. The problem is that if we don't have the device
in our inquiry cache we use a pscan_rep_mode with the value 0x01 for
connection setup, but Microsoft uses 0x02 by default. To solve the
glitches with the initial connection is to do an inquiry first.

If you have a dongle with a CSR HID proxy firmware, you need this
utility to switch it from HID to HCI mode.

Send it to the list. Have you tried hotkeys? Last time I have tested it
it works fine for me.
