Slow BlueTooth Mouse

I have the wireless Keyboard and Mouse Intel IMac. I love the whole set up but when I pair up my BlueTooth headset to make Skype calls the mouse becomes slow. Is this normal behavior and are there and tweaks to the settings that I can make to clear this up?
Thanks

As far as removing other devices I wouldn't recommend it. The lag that I am experiencing as a result of the headset occurs when the only other devices present are the mouse and the keyboard.
That being said I still wouldn't warn you away from using a BlueTooth mouse. I love my BlueTooth input devices and only use the headset a tiny fraction of the time that I am actually using the computer.

Bluetooth mouse slows down wifi

I recently bought logitech bluetooth mouse V470 to use with my Thinkpad s440. The problem is whenever the mouse is connected, my wifi slows down dramatically, turning off the mouse recovers the internet speed.Can anyone suggest a fix for this issue

You could try changing the channel that your wi-fi uses for creating the LAN. You would need to do this in your router configuration.

Apple bluetooth mouse slow, possibly even sluggish?

Ok, my bluetooth apple mouse has started to annoy me, it seems to be quite slow (i usually use a MS wirless mouse, but decided to try out the apple one again) basically its just quite slow and very hard to move it just a small distance.
To fix it I have:
cleaned the optical sensor
changed batteries
moved it to fastest tracking speed
re-set it
used it on different surfaces
updated bluetooth firmware
basically everything I can think of but no joy, it still seems slow, is there anything I can do or is it likely to need to be replaced?
Also my microsoft one is on full speed, and its just about right although i would like it a bit faster, is there anything I can do?
also what does the small + and - switch do its the one under the battery cover
Cheers for the help guys

I am experiencing the same issue. I have done a good bit of troubleshooting to narrow down the problem, and i wanted to share those results with this thread in hopes that we can come to a conclusion and hopefully fix it.
First off, this issue seems to be isolated to bluetooth wireless devices and wireless network traffic. I have a Logitech G7 bluetooth wireless mouse, and my Macbook is the 5.1 version
I have seen other threads that are trying to blame their mouse lag on their monitor, and have said that plugging the monitor's power to a different wall jack fixed their problem. This made no difference in my situation. Even having my External monitor completely out of the loop, i still experienced issues with bluetooth mouse + traffic over the wireless causing significant hitching and lagging of the mouse during the period of the traffic (i.e. copying 500mb file over network).
When i have my bluetooth mouse hooked up and i am copying a large file over the wireless, it lags horribly. If i take my hand and use the trackpad on the laptop itself *during the same copy*, it works fine... it is ONLY the bluetooth mouse.
If i hook an ethernet cable directly to the laptop, all issues with lag are gone when i use the network.
So to recap:
ethernet cable + bluetooth mouse + network traffic = no mouse lag
wireless ethernet + trackpad + network traffic = no mouse lag
wireless ethernet + bluetooth mouse + network traffic = HORRIBLE MOUSE LAG
ON TOP OF THAT.... the issue is EXACTLY the same in Vista as it is in OSX

Bluetooth mouse gets slow laggy.

Hi there.
I have a couple Lenovos T60p's. They both have internal bluethoot. I have 2 different bluetooth mice. One is Microsoft model and the other is Logitechs. The problem I have is that if I use eather of the mice with the internal bluetooth the cursor slows down or lags. This happens with both mice and only with the internal bluetooth. If I use an USB bluetooth adapter both mice work fine. Does anyone has had this problem before. I have updated all drivers on both laptops and both do the same.

I guess the receiver in your laptop is somehow not picking up your signal very well. I will look into it for you, i will try my Microsoft bluetooth mouse and see the different settings.

Really slow and jerky cursor with my apple bluetooth mouse, can you help?

hey.
i have the apple bluetooth mouse and keyboard, they were working perfectly (keyboard still does) until they ran out of batteries one day. i reverted to the wired set up and (lazily) didn't get batteries for a while (month or so). When i did the keyboard responds as before but the mouse is painfully jerky and slow. i have re-paired the mouse and changed the batteries twice, it is so annoying i now use the bluetotth keyboard and wired mouse. any advice/suggestions gratefully recieved.
many thanks.
james

it is so frustrating isn't it. i now sit looking at the bluetooth mouse whilst getting tangled up in the cable of the wired mouse!! i was going to buy the new wireless mighty mouse hoping that that would solve/bypass the problem but reading what you have all put is definately making me wary of that. it seems so simple doesn"t it, nice uncluttered desk, pretty foolproof technology. if only... seems that no matter how clever these things get they are still not smart enough. i have been looking elsewhere for solutions but no luck as of yet, if i find any i'll let you know.
regards,
james

Slow / jumpy / erratic Bluetooth mouse

Hi,
I recently bought a apple wireless keyboard and a logitech v470 bluetooth mouse, They are paired to my 2006 macbook pro fine with no connection drops etc. I'm running my mac through my 37" LCD tv using DVI to HDMI.
The Keyboard is working fine, however when using the mouse it is really erratic making it near impossible to use accurately. It responds very slowly, and has a tendency to lag and jump from one position to another. Its also worth mentioning that when i drag windows, files etc they also move erratically.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Any help would be great!
Cheers

I'm not so sure its a software problem. I had a Logitech MX5000 BT mouse and keyboard attached to a Windows system for 2 years. Some days the mouse would stutter to where it was unusable, followed by days of perfect behavior. Yesterday I transferred the keyboard and mouse to my MiniMac. It only took 30 seconds to set up and it worked just fine..... for about an hour. Then it started stuttering. This morning it was OK again.
I have spent an hour researching this through every blog I can find. The bad news is that I haven't found anyone who has an explanation. The good news is that everyone appears to be looking in the wrong place, because those masses of irate BT mouse users have all been looking in the same place.
Everyone has blamed either the hardware or the software. It is clearly neither since both are largely static for the purposes of this issue. Computers are not erratic by nature. Therefore if they appear to be erratic then there must be something going on that isn't self-evident.
I would encourage everyone who reads this thread to post their findings on concurrent usage of system resources. Whenever your BT mouse starts lagging, look at what else is going on in your environment. Keep your system monitor up and running so you're ready. I'll post my findings later this week. Good luck.

Kensington Bluetooth Mouse Problem With 10.4.3

After updating to 10.4.3, which updated bluetooth from 1.6 to 1.66, Kensington Mouseworks 2.8 no longer works with any of my Kensington bluetooth mice. A Kensington USB mouse works fine.
Neither Apple nor Kensington was able to resolve this. Any ideas how to fix this until Kensington updates their drivers ?

Original message was to Kensington:
I can set up my device - discoverable - pairing and so on, but cannot get to the settings - fast, slow, scrolling, chording, etc. As a matter of fact when I select mouseworks under my system prefrences I get a window saying that there are no Kensington pointing devices found, but yet I'm using the device. The tracking speed of the cursor is uncontrollable at times. I am running OSX 10.4.3. Any help would be appreciated, otherwise I render this mouse to have a mind of it's own and not too useful to me.
Their reply:
Thank you for contacting Kensington Technical Support.
As per the latest update from the concerned department, it has been observed that there are few compatibility issues between Mouseworks software and Bluetooth mouse on Mac OS X 10.4.3. Unfortunately, you are facing the same issue.
However, it has been proved that the issue is not with Kensington software and Apple is working towards releasing a patch for this.
Any solutions to date would be of great help.

Windows 8.1 and Apple Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard connection

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8.0 Home and as a result I'm experiencing the following problems:
Apple Bluetooth Mouse - randomly dis/connects or freezes where I cannot move the mouse or it's very jerky or very slow.
Apple Bluetooth Keyboard - the keys will stick or freeze causing the redundent key presses (eg. yyyyyyyyeeeeeee).
I've done the following to fix the problem with no success:
Reinstall Boot Camp 5.0.5033 drivers
Reinstalled Bluetooth drivers from Boot Camp 5.0.533 individually
Unistalled both devices on OS X and reinstall them only on Windows 8.1
Reinstalling both on OS X and reinstalling them on Windows 8.1
Uninstalling all the drivers from the Device Manager and reinstalling them
One thing I have noticed is that under Devices and Printers I have two new devices (HID-compliant mouse and HID Keyboard Device) that were not there under Windows 8.0 in addition to my bluetooth devices. I have tried removing the new devices but they keep reinstalling themselves.
I have USB mouse that's connected and I've been able to use that without problems so I think there's a problem with the Apple driver or the Windows 8.1 bluetooth drivers.
Has anyone fixed this?
Thanks!

Just to point out the "Bluetooth Collaboration" setting I've found this:
Bluetooth Collaboration enables general purpose input/output transmit suppression protocol between the IEEE 802.11 media access control (MAC) and an external Bluetooth chip to minimize transmit interference. Bluetooth Collaboration is enabled by default.
And it is not enabled by default on some devices like on mine!

Bluetooth mouse lag

So here is the situation: I have a Macbook Pro (early 2009 model) with an Apple wireless keyboard and a Logitech V270 bluetooth mouse. Recently, I've been experiencing mouse lag (to the point where I can hardly even use the mouse anymore). The lag is intermittent, but is there more often than not. I've been pounding my head searching for a solution to this problem, and after scouring forums and trying different solutions, I gave up completely on finding a remedy. But before I threw in the towel, I tried one more thing: I disabled the bluetooth on the Apple keyboard and tested the mouse. To my amazement, it worked perfectly! I re-enabled the keyboard, and sure enough the lag returned. Now that I have isolated the cause of the problem, I was wondering if anyone had a solution that would allow me to continue using both my keyboard and mouse? (I have my MacBook on a stand, so it would be impractical to not have one or the other).
Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Update:
Upgraded to 10.6.5 - No difference..
Changed/tried all wifi channels - No change to problem.
Tried a Mac Mouse - slightly less effect but still unusable.
Tried a USB BT dongle type mouse (no using internal BT AP) - Same issue
Tried on a friends Wireless Network - Problem only slightly evident - to be expected as this was a slow network at about 1.9MB/s, a transfer speed that does not show the problem.
Tried using a Netgear wireless intBT mouse router - Problem is only slightly evident on Mac Mighty Mouse, worse on Logitech, evident slightly on ext BT mouse.
With the Wireless nw running a transfer at 3MB/s, this Network speed drops down to a very slow speed when the "Set up Bluetooth Device" utility is initiated.
So given that this issue is also experienced by MacBook owners when using BT mouse while doing a File transfer via USB external HDD, or Time Machine. My conclutions are either:
1.
The USB ports, BT chipsset and Airport Chipset are all using the same data bus in the Macbook.
This data bus is not capable of running a high speed, contiguous data transfer in a single direction AND transfer BT wireless data at the same time. Apple Architects may be able to work around this issue by appling higher priority to BT data transfer tasks (Mouse), as it does when the "Set up Bluetooth Device" utility is running.
or
2. The BT wireless hardare is eisily susseptable to RF interference. This dont explain USB drive influences however.
My best bet is to log a Hardware repair request with Apple, as this is indeed a Hardware issue.

Tracking problem with Bluetooth mouse..

I recently changed batteries in my Bluetooth wireless mouse... I've done that many times in the past without incident... But this time something strange happened... I used to run the tracking speed setting at the second notch up from slow but now that is lightning fast. Even the next setting down, the first notch up from slow, is too fast... And the slowest setting is ironically too slow which means if I try to move the mouse across the screen at what I would consider a normal speed, the mouse jumps back left as I move right, meaning I am overwhelming the control system... The point is something changed and I can't imagine what... These new batteries are now down a notch from top power meaning they are not new anymore but still the lowest notch is too slow and the next one up is too fast... My real question is what could have changed?? I am running 10.4.6 and I don't believe I had changed anything other than the batteries from before to after the problem started... Any thoughts???? thanks... bob..

Today I received a letter from Apple, a very strange letter that had no heading or address and didn't say "Apple", all it had was the Apple logo. But from the postmark on the envelope I could see it was posted in Cork, Ireland.
The letter confirmed that they had received my proof of purchase and that they would arrange for me to be send a replacement.
The letter said they had tried to call me but could not get through. This is FALSE. Anyone who ever calls me can always get through (although at times, they may get my voicemail). Nobody from Apple left any messages on my voicemail.
The letter gave me a Case Number and said to call their "Technical Support Team".
When I called the number they gave 0870 8760753 I was offered a number of options, NONE OF WHICH covered my reason for calling, so I chose the seemingly nearest option to it.
I found myself talking to something with an Indian accent so thick and heavy that I could barely understand him, and I am used to Indian accents.
He seemed very tired or sleepy; certainly on taking my call he seemed to be settling himself in for some kind of long haul.
Very slowly and hesitantly he started asking me for all kinds of details about me. As I gave him each piece of information he asked me for, he kept interrupting during the process that that I had to repeat myself several times. I had to interrupt him to tell him I had a Case Number (he had not asked me for one).
He took my Case Number , and paused for a long time, then said "well....Mr. -, this is about a Bluetooth Mouse, yes?"
Brilliant.
He seemed to think the pair of us were going to spend a long time negotiating about something.
He said he would need to go and speak to his supervisor. I waited on the line for 10 (repeat TEN) minutes.
He came back "Well, Mr. -....I need to check all your details".. including all my credit card details....very slowly and repeating everything twice.
Several exasperating minutes later I THINK I had convinced him that he had all my details and that he needed to have a new mouse sent to me.
He said that when the new mouse comes (THINKS...if it comes) via UPS, I must send the dead one back to them within 10 days or they will charge me for the new one. I said what happens if I don't (because this is the summer and I might be out of the country on holiday).
"That is the procedure".
I replied "so you have all the information you need now and you are going to send me the mouse, yes?"
"yes".
---long silence---
I said "IS that the end of the telephone conversation?"
"yes."
"OK thanks, goodbye"-
MORAL OF THIS STORY:
If you buy an Apple wireless mouse and it dies on you, consider if you really badly need to have it replaced by Apple. HOw much time do you have to waste?

MacBook Pro Bluetooth Mouse Issue - Possible Bug??

I recently purchased the new MacBook Pro and I have a weird issue with both the bluetooth Mighty Mouse and another Microsoft bluetooth mouse.
So first, I purchased the mighty mouse thinking it would work great with my new MacBook, however, after pairing it and turning up the scrolling to the highest setting it was still way to slow for movement across the screen requiring me to pick up the mouse and move it to get all the way across.
I had also installed Windows 7 on Parallels and was able to install my Microsoft Presenter Mouse 8000 on that with a dongle and it moved super fast just like I liked it. I had to use the dongle because for some reason Parallels didn't show the internal bluetooth. So I thought I would try using my Microsoft Presenter Mouse 8000 on the Mac side so I downloaded the Intellipoint 6.3 software that is made for mac and installed it on the machine then paired up my MS mouse. I then went in and set the settings to their highest settings for scrolling and once again I had the same issue as with the Mighty Mouse. Way too slow.
So then I took it to one of the Geek Squad guys at Best Buy in my area to see if he could figure it out and he was stumped as well. However, after playing with it a bit we discovered that if you went into the native keyboard/mouse settings in the system preferences folder and dragged the scrolling setting to it's lowest setting and then back to the highest setting the Microsoft Mouse would move super fast like it is supposed to. I got all excited, however, the problem is that as soon as you closed that dialog box it goes back to slow again. Weirdest thing ever.
So I have no idea what would cause that and would love some feedback from you all. I think it is a bug because in my opinion the Might Mouse should work better than anything else. Any thoughts anyone?

This problem can be caused because of the mouse pad. Try using a dark color one with no reflective glare. Sometimes the light bounces.

Slow bluetooth detection after powerbook wake-up

Hello!
When I am using my Powerbook at home, it is connected to an external screen and I am using it with an Apple bluetooth keyboard and a Logitech bluetooth mouse. My problem is that every time I wake up my Powerbook from sleep, it takes approximately 10-15 seconds before it begins checking up on the bluetooth peripherals, which means that I am incapable of interacting with the OS for ca. 20 seconds - unless I begin fiddling around with the keyboard and mouse on the Powerbook itself.
Is there any way to speed up this process somehow, so that the first thing the OS does after a wake-up is to check on the bluetooth connections?

Seems like an OS X update fixed this. Still a tad slow though...

Imprecise, Jumpy, Erratic Bluetooth Mouse with Video

I have been suffering with an erratic Bluetooth mouse problem for almost a year now on my 3.06ghz Imac. Recently, I have noticed others mentioning the same issue with the new Magic Mouse. (See Imac Forum). Therefore, in an attempt to raise the status of this issue I am posting a video in order that Apple Care and other Mac users can see the issue in action.
The jumpiness gets worse when downloading a large file or when copying or moving a large file. I have posted more details in Upper right corner of Youtube page.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzisliiVpg

A quick update to the jumpy mouse saga:
After a year of problems with a jumpy mouse (see videos below) *I purchased a Magic Mouse to see if the Magic Mouse would solve the jumpiness issue. It did but the tracking speed was very slow. Therefore, I installed MouseZoom to increase the tracking speed. After installing MouseZoom I started noticing the jumpy mouse problems again.*
_*This finding is very interesting!*_
_*It implies that the faster the mouse movement the more likely one is to see an erratic mouse with the pointer making unrequested jumps around the screen.*_
My hypothesis is that the operating system or processor is not allocating enough resources to the mouse if the tracking speed is set to a high level.
_*The "jumpy mouse" problem seems to be far worse when the hard disk is running - either copying or downloading a large file*_. Some users are reporting that watching a high resolution flash video will also cause the mouse to skip and jump.
I am certain the problem is software related because the same exact mouse works perfectly in Bootcamp 2.1 and Bootcamp 3.0 in Windows XP SP3.
_*Youtube now has two videos showing the problem*._ You can view the videos here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxLY3-pH-rs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBzisliiVpg
If you are suffering from similar problems may I suggest three actions:
* Use the Quicktime X screen recording function to record a video of the problem.
* Post the video to YouTube.
* Contact Apple Care and share your video problem description with them.
* Send a note referencing the video and description to www.apple.com/feedback
Category: Mac OSX Feedback
Feedback Type: Bug Report
Feedback Area: Peripheral/Device Support
I will update this video to let you know if the problem has been solved. I am hopeful that Apple will be able to find the source of the problem and solve it quickly. I really like my Mac and I can hardly wait for the problem to be resolved.
Here is hoping that 10.63 will resolve this issue once and for all!

HP Bluetooth mouse

I have an HP X9000B Bluetooth mouse and it just stoppes working every so often, then I need to re boot my laptop and it works again. It has always had a slow response but now it has stopped all together. I was looking for drivers on the HP website but it doesn't even recognise the hardware let alone drivers!
Does anyone know what the problem can be? I have a core i7 notebook with Windows 7 64bit OS.

My Toshiba Satellite L655-S5198does not have a bluetooth card, so I purchased a Targus Bluetooth 4.0 Dual-Mode Micro USB Adapter on 4-10-15.
After installing both and receiving confirmation that both were installed and working, I get no response when I try to use the mouse.
When I press the blue button on the underside of the mouse, the blue indicator light blinks, but eventually stops.
What should I do at this point?
Thank you for your help.
Did you install the Targus bluetooth driver software? You can't just plug a bluetooth adapter in and expect it to work without the proper software/driver for it.

Problems with a bluetooth mouse and others operating systems

Hello, I have an error related to bluetooth devices.
I have on my Mac mini apart from Mountain Lion, a Linux distribution.
Steps to follow to find the error:
1. - Connect a bluetooth mouse to Mountain Lion and set it up.
2. - Reset the mini, start with Linux and also configure the mouse.
Now the mouse works fine on Mountain Lion and Linux.
Start again with Mountain Lion, you will see that the mouse does not work, but the system has added and configured.
That mistake I've seen for the first time in Snow Leopard, Lion has continued and now with Mountain Lion.
The only way to fix it is to connect a USB mouse, remove the Bluetooth mouse and add it again.
The configuration fails again when using the mouse in Linux.
Tested on another Mac (Mac-Pro) with the same result.
(I tested it with a Dell BT Travel Mouse and a Magic Mouse)
Regards

First, excuse my poor english
It's not offend, but I understand that at the time that Linux is off, and OSX is on, is OSX which is not able to work with the mouse.
I do not know what is the reason for which the operating system is not able to operate the mouse, even if it is paired and authorized.
The system also says that the mouse is working properly, when it is obvious that it is not.
Moreover, the Bluetooth preference pane is completely slowed and functioning incorrectly.
And finally, to comment that the mouse works properly on Linux after having done in OSX ..., which shows that the problem is OSX.
If I open this post is for someone to try and investigate.
Would be nice if Apple released a patch as it is clear that something is not working well in OSX.
What I did not expect was to listen that having a Linux through the middle, there is no problem.
regards
