I’ve been in contact with support from BigfootNetworks/KillerGaming regarding this issue. I will also update this post if a new driver comes out that works – or a better solution is found.įeel free to post in the comments if you find something interesting! Posting prompted by this thread (and solved with the help of Ray Ward). I’m also a bit worried that the generic driver is not utilizing any of the more advanced bt 4.0 features (mainly, power-saving), but I will be tracking battery usage closely. It looks like the only problem left is it is putting the mouse to sleep more often, and sometimes takes a couple seconds to wake up – but at least now it DOES wake up. Windows will automatically use the Microsoft Generic Bluetooth driver, and your devices will automatically connect on boot (this was not the case with the drivers I replaced). Make sure to check “Delete the driver software for this device”.Right Click on Atheros AR3012 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS.In order to remove the drivers, I opted to use Device Manager to uninstall the BT drivers: Seeing as installing the Killer Gaming Suite is an all-or-nothing affair (really, no custom install for a slimmer footprint!?), I could not just uninstall the Bluetooth Suite under Add/Remove programs. Existing mouse drivers (Intellipoint 8.2) were installed by Windows Update.Existing BT Drivers are from the Killer Gaming driver site: v1.

Eventually, this “trick” would fail and only turning off bluetooth entirely would restore my mouse functionality. Every few minutes or so it would stop responding entirely, then I would have to go to the Bluetooth Devices screen – this would usually kick it out of its “sleeping” state, but only temporarily. After upgrading to Windows 8.1, I started having problems with my bluetooth mouse disconnecting from my Dell XPS14 frequently.
