Hey, sorry for not answering earlier, I read your request and looked into the code of the project you linked months ago but forgot about giving you feedback... Anyway: tommaier's project is also written in C# and kind of similar, but some approaches are quite different and it would take quite a lot of effort to understand their code and replicating its functions into what's already present here.

For now I'd say: use their program if you use BT, use mine if you use a proprietary dongle. That's the "least effort" approach that covers both connection types. Sure, both programs have features the other one lacks, but creating one (to transliterate a German saying) "egg-laying wool milk pig" would be a ton of work and most likely a nightmare to maintain...
