MIDI data is much smaller to send over Bluetooth so there shouldn't be a problem. General MIDI latency is general more a problem on Windows than Apple.

if it's no shipping or tax, why 38.59?
for me 36.36 + 3.63 = 39.99 unless I missed something?

I'm still going to give it a go and see if either the Windows 10 MIDI BLE support added in the Anniversary update will be enough, or if something like Midiberry can't pick it up and reroute it.
