I bought a set for the kids' iMac to get rid of the cable clutter but
soon discovered that as the iMac didn't have built-in BT, I couldn't
wake it from sleep, so re-instated the wired keyboard & mouse.
Time passes and I acquire a G5 PMac, which does have built-in BT, so I
thought I'd give it another go. I pair them with the G5 and they
connect OK. However, the "allow BT devices to wake this computer"
option is still greyed out. Worse, the mouse doesn't track properly
and the keyboard will intermittently not send any keystrokes to the
G5, then suddenly send the last key I hit
repeatedlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Or it loses the connection completely
and needs to be turned off and on befor eit reconnects. Yes, I put new
batteries into both.
Am I just unlucky or is there some fundamental design flaw with these?
Is there something wrong with the BT in the G5? (Mobile works OK,
though this, of course, doesn't use the connection as much as a
keyboard or mouse.)
Have had a BT kbd & mouse with my G5 Dual 2.0 for 18 months and in that time they've
behaved exactly as the cabled equivalents. I've been very impressed.
Now the same pair are several metres away from my media mini and working perfectly with that.
