Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite: Magic Mouse and Keyboard

Hello everyone,


I've a problem on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13" (late 2013).

I've always used it plugged with an external monitor (I love double screen), magic mouse and bluetooth keyboard. On Mavericks everything was perfect with this setup.

Yesterday I installed OSX Yosemite and I've found a boring problem: my Magic Mouse and my Bluetooth Keyboard have a 0.5 second of latency, lag. This happen when the Macbook is not plugged with battery charger. When he is on charge, the problem don't exist.


I noticed this bug also on the public beta of this summer and submit the feedback.

I hoped that they fixed this before release but the bug is still here.


How can i solve this boring problem?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

I also reported this issue again and again during each beta release.


This makes the MacBook basically unusable in battery power for doing any kind of design and coding work.


I don't have any bluetooth addons or third party utilities. I also tried clearing PRAMs, and reinstalling Yosemite, to no avail.


Here are some threads about the issue, which, I'm noticing, is common.



Note that while the issue is kind of tolerable using the mouse, it's tragic with the keyboard.


Does this prevent you from using OS X Yosemite?

The issue makes it very difficult for me to use OS X Yosemite
