I didn't know where to post this, since it encompasses wireless networking, software, and peripherals, but since i am having the problem with my mouse and keyboard, im posting it here.

When using AirTunes, my bluetooth mouse and keyboard seem to be slow to respond to input. The mouse jumps, and keystrokes lag. This only happens when using AirTunes.

Here is my setup...

My desktop is where i have the BT mouse/keyboard. It is conected with a crossover cable to a linksys WAP11, which is bridged to my AirPort Express...

Any ideas?

Do you have "Use Interference Robustness" on your AirPort options enabled? I'm not sure if it would help, but Bluetooth and 802.11b/g use the same 2.4GHz band, and I've also noticed decreased performance when there's a lot of activity. You could also try changing the channel the base station transmits on.

I have the AE set to 802.11b only and the WAP11 is 802.11b as well. That's not in the 2.4Ghz spectrum correct?
