I was about to jump in and defend bluetooth, but I thought about it, and realized that I do occasionally get bluetooth flakiness and I simply tolerate it for the sake of the cordless convenience.

Bluetooth flakiness I have experienced:

- Mouse and keyboard for Mac Mini have range issues... My seat on the couch is just at the edge of their range.

- Mouse for Mac Mini, once in a blue moon, just doesn't register with the computer and then I have to re-pair it.

- Once in a blue moon, my Microsoft mouse occasionally drops its bluetooth connection to my laptop for about 15 seconds and then keeps working again as if nothing had happened. I think this is a materials/construction problem issue with the mouse itself and that what's actually happening is if I bump or jostle the mouse too hard its battery contacts get lost briefly.
