Hello,
for quite some time now I have trouble using the Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Trackpad with my 2012 MacBook Pro 15" non retina running 10.8.4.
Most of the time I everything works fine, but sometimes the connection seems very poor and I'm experiencing heavy lags, which makes normal working almost impossible. When this happens my cursor moves very slow and laggy, the keyboard works with a high delay and sometimes it repeats characters numerous times. In the worst cases the devices entirely lose their connection.
In the following screenshots you can see the connection drops in the Bluetooth RSSI monitor.

I've been looking for a solution for weeks now and made numerous approaches to fix my problem.
None of them made an effect though.
I already tried moving other bluetooth devices away from my desk as well as inserting new, more powerful batteries.
Some people had their connection problems fixed by inserting tinfoil between the batteries and the cap to prevent the batteries from moving around. This didn't make anny difference for me, except that my keyboard doesn't rattle anymore when shaking it.
Resetting the SMC and PRAM were not very helpful either.
Furthermore I checked whether there is any interference caused by WLAN. Here's the output of my WiFi scanner:

Hopefully someone knows a way around this.
Also please excuse my poor english.
Thanks in advance,
Hagen
