    i just got my razer pro click mobile bluetooth mouse today and i find that if i have my apple bt keyboard switched on along with the mouse, both components start lagging.

    keystrokes show up sluggishly and sometimes keys get repeated. my mouse on the other hand begins to track horrendously.

    anyways is this a fixable problem? or does bluetooth really suck.

    Hmm.. I have both a wireless bluetooth mouse and keyboard (from Dell) and do not have any problems like that. The only time they do lag is when I don't use it for a few minutes and they go to "sleep" to save batteries.. it'll take a second to reconnect, but that's it.

    Do you have any other devices connected through bluetooth?

    actually the problem seems to have been reduced/fixed. i changed the wireless channel on my router and stuff seems to be improved. :)

    oh okay good.. I was thinking that wireless interference would be your problem.. Anyways, you shouldn't notice a difference from regular wireless mouse/keyboards unless you're into gaming i guess.

    just don't use them for gaming, I've heard that wireless mice has a refresh rate of something like 500hz, awful for games.
