haha I was going to start a thread with working hardware but it looks like you stole my idea

so let me add

working:
Logitech gamepad F310 works brilliantly
Epson NX-330 wireless printer
creative WP-300 Bluetooth headphones working with all the controls
 
I'd like to edit my above post about the bluetooth audio receiver to add that it will interfere with Wi-Fi signal if you have another bluetooth device already attached.
 
I notice that apparently people are reporting things working without regard to if it is on a Surface Pro, or just a Surface. I suspect this will lead to confusion down the road.

Samsung SE-506BB/TSBD My Surface Pro 2's USB 3.0 PORT can not fully power this device. that means it can generally play DVDs, but fails to play Blu-ray moves when directly connect to my Surface Pro 2 USB port. This device comes with a single USB 2 connector, and does not come with the ability to add external power.
