The only thing I've seen work reliably with Bluetooth, ever, is the PlayStation 4 controller. And only when pairing with the PS4 and not a PC. Sony seems to have gone out of their way to add some magical layer to establish and maintain those connections without the end user having to know or see anything about it.

The Apple keyboard and trackpad are rock-solid with Macs, probably for the same reason: the same vendor controls both ends.

I use the Apple BT keyboard & mouse with a work MacBook Pro, and it was fine. When I added a pair of BT headphones into the mix, it quickly became a mess (audio would drop out when I started typing or moving the mouse). I wonder how much of that is on the headphone manufacturer vs. saturation of BT.

I remember seeing something similar when one or more devices used the serial profile, or related ones (PPP for instance).

When those where in use, it would basically block all other traffic for the duration.

I noticed this back in the day when i really pushed my bluetooth usage.

My setup was a SonyEricsson featurephone, a Nokia N800, some Jabra headphones, and a white box folding keyboard.

As long as i used the "LAN" connection between the N800 and the phone to get online, it all worked fine. But switch it to PPP and the music would stutter whenever there was network activity.
