    Savfy True Wireless Mini Bluetooth Headphones review

    The True Wireless Mini Bluetooth Earphones from Savfy mimic a lot of what the new Apple Airpods do but in a more generic fashion. These come nicely packaged with a rechargeable protective case, a pair each of small, medium & large silicon tips, a Micro USB cable and user manual. While this...

    Bluetooth keyboard recommendation?

    Hi, I'm looking for a Bluetooth keyboard that works well with Macs and has the Insert/Delete/Home/End/Page Up/Page Down keys. This Macbook is used mostly for software development, and having to press Fn-Up to page up is killing me! I really like the slim feel of my other computer's wired Apple...

    2016 Macbook Pro 15" Bluetooth issues on Windows 10

    After installing Windows 10 via bootcamp on 2016 Macbook Pro 15", I noticed that Bluetooth is very unreliable. Since bluetooth works flawlessly in macOS, I can only asume that the reason for this issues are poorly developed drivers. I tried a logitech M557 mouse, Creative bluetooth Headphone...

    Choppy mouse on macOS Sierra 10.12.3? (Both trackpad and wired)

    My mouse movement periodically becomes choppy/jumpy after maybe an hour of use. The problem goes away temporarily with a reboot, but it returns before long. This seems to happen regardless of RAM usage (I'm always at about 3.25/4.0GB used). The choppiness is exactly what you'd expect from a...

    2016 MBP 15" Bluetooth

    Since getting my 15" MBP I've noticed sporadic bluetooth dropouts and I think it occurs more often with the # of devices connected. For instance my Magic 2 Keyboard will randomly get stuck typing or my Magic 2 TrackPad will stop responding and my AirPods can't stay connected for more than a few...
