Bluetooth and Razor Orochi mouse skips, stutters...
Hi everyone, it looks like I got some issues with my MBA 11" (mid-2011).
I bought a mouse(Razor Orochi) and I'm having some difficulties using it via Bluetooth. I mean that it's definitely usable, but it is very innacurate when I try to get somewhere precisely.
Symptom:
In a nutsheel, the mouse doesn't have consistent speed. If I move the mouse from left to right, the cursor would move at a normal speed on the screen for like a second, then it has small bursts of acceleration (jitters). The mouse doesn't got at a consistent speed and when I try to select an icon, or a file, more often that not it goes past it. Very annoying!!
This only happens when I use the mouse wirelessly (Bluetooth) with OS X Lion.
Other test:
Fortunately, the mouse comes with a wired mode as well. All you do is plug in the usb cable in the mouse, and voilà, you are connected like a wired mouse.
-When plugging the mouse in the computer via USB, it works flawlessly with OS X Lion
I also tested with Bootcamp, to see if the problem was hardware (Bluetooth device could have been faulty)
-Using the same MBA, under Windows 7, the mouse works flawlessly via Bluetooth. Heck, I can't even tell the thing is wireless!
Conclusion:
1-That excludes the possibility of a hardware failure from either my mouse, or the Bluetooth/motherboard
2-OS X Lion plays my mouse flawlessly when connected through USB, thus I doubt it's the "way OS X deals with mice" (Which I've heard before)
The only options I see here are:
1-OS X Lion has bad Bluetooth drivers? (Windows drivers were working fine after all)
2-OS X Lion has issues dealing with wireless mice?
Here are the steps I've taken
-Updated my Orochi mouse to the lastest driver AND firmware
-Of course, everything in my MBA is up to date (10.7.1)
-I've also tried the SteerMouse Application, no luck.
-Called both Apple and Razor, no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
