Dear Customer, Thank you for your question regarding the BTD-300 Bluetooth adapter. The BTD-300 and other Bluetooth adapters cannot be used to wake a Mac OS X computer as the USB power is turned off while in sleep mode. The option will be greyed out in the Bluetooth settings. It is not possible without a built-in adapter. Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any further questions.

Yes it does. I use it to connect my Mac wireless mouse and keyboard to it. OSX 10.8.4 had no issues with it.

Yes, there is a USB transceiver that you plug in for the Blue-Tooth to work. The drivers for the mouse will be automatically downloaded to your Mac in order for it to function.

Yes. I use both bluetooth mouse and keboard at the same time. I recommend using the latest bluetooth system driver.

Works on my 10.8.5 Mac, no need to install drivers. Plugged it in and the Bluetooth pane showed up in System Preferences, and easily paired with Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse. It's Apple's recommended adapter in order for wake to sleep and other bluetooth features to work properly. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3940?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I use it with my Macbook Air all the time with the bluetooth option, but you could use it with the USB cable also.

I've been using it with a Mac. To save battery. the keyboard does go to sleep after a few minutes of inactivity. and you get a momentary "connection lost" indicator from the Mac. Then, when I want to use it again, I press a key to wake the keyboard up, and that reconnects it.

Bill, could you send me your 'goofy' Apple mouse? I can always use an extra one and I like it better than the Logitech. Your assertion that you 'can't do that' (plug in any mouse you want) with the Macbook Pro is, of course, false. You can plug it in and both the mouse and the built-in trackpad work at the same time.I DO like your advice to try out the computer in the store, though. Let me know how that works out with the Dell you recommend, which is only available through mail order...

Yes it works great. Just pair the mouse with the laptop by making sure bluetooth is turned on and then hitting the connect button on the bottom of the mouse. On the mac you can click the 'pair' button from the System Preferences > mouse > setup bluetooth mouse. The two buttons on the top of the mouse work fine and the scroll wheel is a button as well. The side buttons also work too.

Yes I use it with a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse. I switch between my apple and windows computer.

I purchased the Home Blutooth Mac mouse late this summer and it works fine with Mac OSX 10.8 on a Macbook Pro.

If you use a mac, turn the mouse on, open system preferences/mouse/set up bluetooth mouse. If you don't use a mac I can't help.

You Can But it Is Not Necessary Because The Mouse Goes Into SleepMode But When Moved Will Wake Back Up

I'm not sure, as I don't use it with a windows computer, I only have a Mac Pro

Yes, it has physical on/off button, and also it can make Macbook Pro wake up from sleep by just a click.

Yes, it works fine via Bluetooth. Just be sure that the PS210 is not connected to your iPhone or other device when you try to connect with the MacBookPro.

Depends . . . on Macs, no, on PCs, you will be prompted to set this device up (select the default settings).
