My set up is a tower, standard keyboard and mouse behind the roll top front
of an entertainment unit. Back in the day you could hide your 25" TV when
not watching it. My LG sits atop the unit and the heart of the system can
be hidden when company, or grandkids come over. Booting without a keyboard
becomes moot in this case. Since finding the disharmony between the radio
frequency ipazz keyboard/airmouse/IRremote and the bluetooth itek speaker,
(choppy sound) I'd like to know if anyone has experience with keyboard and
speaker over one bluetooth dongle? tests today prove myth will play sound
through the itek via bluetooth,satisfactorily for this factory ear, but
before an Amazon order goes in I'd appreciate some confirmation of
potential harmony with these two types of devices and bluetooth.
