Bluetooth mighty mouse laggy

Is it just me, or are wired mouses more responsive. I've had to stop using my bluetooth mighty mouse because there just seems to be too much of a delay between when I move the mouse and when the pointer moves on the screen. Anyone?

I get the lag when there is a lot of network activity such as copying a file across the network or when Time Machine is activated.
I've tried changing the channel on my AirPort Express and it has helped but on some channels the wireless connection itself is less stable and keeps dropping periodically.
I've yet to find the channel that gives me both stable wireless and no laggy mouse.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse keeps freezing after upgrading to Leopard

    My bluetooth mighty mouse has frequent, intermittent freezes (which appear to be a loss of sync to the iMac) after upgrading to Leopard (now 10.5.1) from 10.4.11 on my iMac 24" alum body. This mouse was rock solid on my iMac running Tiger. Luckily I do have a corded mouse which I've been forced to use the past week or so.
    Can anyone suggest anything?
    Thanks.

    I was just trying to help my Dad with the same exact issue (Mighty Mouse stops working on waking from sleep & trying to open bluetooth prefs at that point causes the system to lock up. Have to hold down power button to reboot)
    Oddly I have Leopard on my iMac 2.16 Core 2 Duo and have no issues with my Mighty Mouse.
    Hopefully someone comes up with an answer .... My Dad is 80 and just bought a new Powerbook and Mighty Mouse. It's hard to explain why the mouse doesn't work.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse & Windows XP using Bootcamp

    Are there plans to add functionality for the bluetooth mighty mouse in Windows XP using bootcamp??
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   I run Bootcamp, as well as OS X

    I was able to get it to work in Windows XP. I was not using Boot Camp since I have a IBM ThinkPad T41p, but it should work the same.

  • My Bluetooth Mighty Mouse has totally stopped working

    I have a bluetooth Mighty Mouse that seems to have stopped working. I was using it on a trip over in Guam. Then I came back to the states and it was in my suitcase/unused for several weeks with the batteries in it. Now that we have moved into an apartment, I would like to start using it again. But when I turn it on by sliding the little slider switch on the bottom, the little green light doesn't blink any more and it doesn't seem to be recognized by my computer. I have tried it with recharged batteries and other batteries, but no luck. Does anyone have a suggestion for me? I would really like to get this thing working without having to buy a new mouse. I have noticed that there is a little white tab just above where the batteries go. When the back cover is on, it appears that the slider switch somehow pushes on this little white tab. But with the cover off, this little white tab has some play in it (up and down) and can rattle around. Could there be something under this tab that is stuck down? Any advice would be appreciate! Thanks!

    Hello ba:
    No light=no power to the device.
    If you happen to be near an Apple store, take the mouse in and have them try it on one of their systems. I do not think there would be any charge for that.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse cursor isnt working, no red light.

    Have you tried pairing it again?
    And I would change the batteries no matter what it says

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse battery consumption

    I have a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and have had it for 3 months (Christmas present). Last week, I noticed one bar had disappeared in the mouse battery life window in System Prefs - "wow" I thought "only lost 20% charge in just under 3 months".
    However, yesterday, I got a "Low Battery" warning and noticed that only two bars were remaining. A couple of hours later I got a "Critical battery level" warning and only one bar remaining.
    I don't use my mouse all that much - probably at most 6 hours per day (in short-ish intervals, turning it off in between) and I can't remember accidentally leaving it on. I'm using it with the two original AA batteries it shipped with.
    Is this normal battery consumption? I find it strange that from "Low battery" to "critical battery" would be a couple of hours and that it would suddenly lose almost 50% of its charge in a week.
    Do these mice eat AA batteries? Is it a good idea to get some rechargeables to use instead?
    Cheers for the help

    Hello thomasp:
    In answer to your question, the battery life of a wireless mouse is mostly dependent on usage. When not in use, the wireless devices go to a very low power mode. IMHO, it is a waste of time to turn mice/KBs off. I would postulate that your experience is about normal.
    I use rechargeable batteries (2500 mAh) in all my wireless devices. They do not last quite as long as the Lithium batteries - they have a lower voltage. However, I use an Energizer recharger that recharges batteries in 15 minutes - very little waiting time. In addition to being less expensive in the long run, rechargeable batteries are environmentally friendly! I bought a bunch of them on eBay. By the by, the rechargeables lose some charge every day - even if they are not in use.

  • Using Bluetooth Mighty Mouse

    I have a new Mac Pro and a Macbook Pro. Can I use the same bluetooth Mighty Mouse for both computers? I tried pairing it with the second mac after it was already paired and it stopped working with the first.
    Thanks!

    It can only be paired with one computer at a time.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse connection

    I frequently use my MBP as a laptop. When I carry it out of range of the bluetooth Mighty Mouse, I get the notification that it has disconnected, but when I get back in range, the MBP acts as if it had never been connected to the mouse in the first place.
    I have to go through the whole setup routine to get the mouse to connect again. Is there any way to get the MBP to remember the mouse and connect automatically as soon as it's in range?
    Walt

    Wscrivens,
    Try this...
    Under "Bluetooth" select "devices," select your Bluetooth mouse and then "add to favorites."

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Keyboard not working in Win XP!

    Hi All,
    I simply cannot get my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse and Keyboard to work in Win XP via Bootcamp! The bluetooth icon appears in the tray and even shows that they are connected but they do nothing at all. One thing to note is that they show up as connected but with no password. Could this be the problem? If I reconnected the two with new passcodes for XP, would they still work when I reboot in OSX?

    upgrading to vista sorted things out!

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse In Win XP Pro In Boot Camp

    I just went and bought a bluetooth mighty mouse for my macbook. On the mac side it works great, but when i go to pair it to the windows side (or any other windows machine) it can see it but it always asks me for a pin.
    does anyone have this problem or know what to do. I really wanna use this on the windows side of things too!!

    Works great for me using basic functions - left/right click and scroll wheel.
    I had first paired and named the mouse under OS X.
    I booted into Windows XP Pro/SP2. The BT drivers did not work. I uninstalled the Apple drivers by running the installer, rebooted, reinstalled, and rebooted.
    Note that you have to Ok unsigned drivers.
    One the second boot, a dialog showed the BT drivers being installed. After everything settled down, I opened the BT Control Panel and asked to add the driver.
    As soon as it started scanning, I pressed the right mouse button and turned the mouse on with the slide switch.
    It showed up within less than 5 secs. I selected it, and a dialog asked for a key assignment. I let the computer assign the key.
    Now it works like a charm, whether OS X or Windows is booted.
    This mouse is great - it works on all surfaces, and no more chord!

  • Can bluetooth mighty mouse be used with windows XP?

    i installed XP with bootcamp, and my mighty mouse worked the install of windows and everything, until i actuallly got into windows... any ideas?

    It works fine. After setup (use 0000 as pas code) the bluetooth device, you can use it. Upon logging in to the XP, just click once using mouse and then mouse will start working.
    However, not all the functions for mighty mouse (like horizontal scrolling, side button etc) works in WinXp side.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse - right click works for a while and then stops...

    I recently bought a wireless Mighty Mouse, installed all the supplied software and paired it with my Macbook Pro. I've set up the right click as Secondary button and have been using it without any problems.
    Then recently I've noticed that after using it for a while (in general applications like Aperture, Firefox etc), the right click will perform a Primary (left) click instead. Even if I take my hand completely off the mouse and click on the right side, it will perform a left click function. If I switch the Mighty Mouse off and back on, it starts to work normally again.
    Is this a general issue with these mice? Or is mine just faulty? I can't see that it's a hardware fault as it returns to normal when I turn off/on the mouse. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    My new MacBook Pro and Wireless MM just arrived Friday and I spent Saturday transferring files from my PB G4 and installing Parallels/WinXP.
    My Mighty Mouse worked fine initially, but then the Right Click (Secondary) reverted to Left Click (Primary). I reversed the settings to a "Left-handed" setup, the settings stuck. But the right button would not hold a Secondary setting.
    I then paired the PB G4's Wireless Mighty Mouse (that I've had for several months) with the MacBook Pro - same issue surfaced. Both mice work consistently as represented with the PowerBook AND my IOGear bluetooth mouse works perfectly with both the PB and MBP (although the Mouse Preference Pane that comes up for the IOGear mouse is a reduced feature set that does not allow any additional button programning.)
    I think it's a Preference Pane code issue. If the others who have posted here have ALSO installed Parallels, then the Parallels tools may be creating conflicts.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse & D-Link DBT-120 issues

    Gawd! Please could somebody help me : I've just installed 10.7 & have been using a wireless mighty mouse with a D-Link DBT-120 (REV B4) adapter. For some time now the mouse could not wake my mac from sleep & after reading a few forums I decided to update the D-Link firmware to the most recent I could find on the Apple site (Firmware Updater Vs. 1.2.0) in order to 'ungrey' the check box in the Bluetooth prefs that allows this. Now the Bluetooth prefs have disappeared entirely & when I plug the adapter in my wired mouse freezes. I read an earlier post here that suggested zapping the PRAM but this hasn't worked either. Could I possibly have installed an earlier version of the firmware I already had (couldn't check this in the Profiler as it isn't recognised)?? And is there a way out of this mess?? Any help would be gratefully received...

    I also have a DBT-120, rev B4. Connected to a G4 Power Mac MDD 1.25 GHz DP, running OS 10.4.11 with all current updates except iTunes and quicktime. I just started using an original Apple wireless mouse (model A1015), which a friend gave me last week. The mouse works fine, but it will not wake the computer from sleep. I have tried on an iMac G4, with the same result. The "allow bluetooth devices to wake this computer " is greyed out on both machines.
    Any solution would be much appreciated.

  • HT201358 WIRELESS BLUETOOTH MIGHTY MOUSE TROUBLESHOOTING

    Bonjour,
    J'ai un problème avec ma souris «Mighty Mouse» Bluetooth.
    Les préférence de la souris ne fonctionne pas, ou plutôt elle fonctionne toujours, car lorsque j'utilise mes logiciels de dessins tels que Adobe Illustrator, InDesign ou Photoshop CS6, je vais enlever certaines options dans mes préférences pour la souris, et la seule que je peux enlever efficacement c'est l'utilisation du click secondaire qui est situé à gauche ou à droite.
    Pour toutes les autres fonctions, même si je les désative tout continue à fonctionner
    - Le «Scrool» direction : Naturel ou non
    - Le «Smart zoom»
    - Le «Swipe between page»
    - Le «Swipe betwen full screen apps»
    Jusqu'à maintenant j'ai tenté de resetter mon PRAM, j'ai également jeter mes préférences pour mon bluetooth et ma souris.
    Que puisje faire de plus ????
    Merci de votre aide

    Hmm. I had a phone right on the desk next to the mouse. The phone however didn't have bluetooth on it at all.
    I took your advice and moved it to the other side of the house and boom, mighty mouse seems absolutely perfect.
    I cant thank you enough. Im watching the mouse carefully now, to see if it plays up again, but at least now i know it's only to do with intereference, and not anything else crazy.
    Thankyou mate!
    Holy.......
    As Soon as i wrote this..... the mouse suddenly just... jittered around again. Guess what. my mum just picked up the cordless landline.
    Found the exact problem now.... maybe another channel or something will help?

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse w/ Multiple Macs?

    So if I have two Macs sitting side-by-side, both with Bluetooth enabled, how will the Mighty Mouse know which to control? How do I switch back and forth?

    Try resetting SMC on the macbook air: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    Good luck!
