I couldn't wait any longer for Apple to release a bluetooth 2button scrolling mouse so I went out and got the Kensington Bluetooth Pilotmouse. It works great but I have a question to anyone who has purchased an aftermarket bluetooth or even this mouse, has anyone had issues with the computer waking right back up from sleep?
This is what's been happening for me, my G5 came with the Apple Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and when I used the mouse to put the computer to sleep all would be fine. When I paired up the new Kensington and try to put the G5 to sleep the Mac wakes right back up. I think the Kensington Mouse is triggering it. Has anyone else had this issue and has a solution? I like this mouse a lot and don't want to return it. Help?

I am having the same problem with the Kensington PilotMouse Laser Wireless Mouse. When the receiver is plugged into a USB port, my G5 won't go to sleep. It clicks off and right back on again. Funny, it doesn't do that with my wife's Logitech Wireless mouse or with my wired mouse. I emailed Kensington support. When I get an answer, I'll post it here.

Uncheck "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" in Bluetooth Preferences.
