Really weird problem here, hope someone can help!

I recently purchased a Retina MacBook Pro, which is lovely! I use it mostly in windows for gaming and the majority of my work/life (yes I considered a windows laptop, just prefer apple hardware quality/support).

I have hardly any problems, except one. When I'm playing DayZ, to talk to people around me on mic I have to hold caps lock down. When I do this, my bluetooth mouse freezes up, becomes really laggy and unresponsive. If I let go of caps lock, after about 10 seconds the mouse returns to normal.

WHAT GIVES?

It happens if I press down caps lock on either my laptop keyboard or my apple wireless keyboard, I have tried a couple of mice and the problem only happens to a bluetooth mouse. It also doesn't just happen in that game.

Go ahead, try it! Connect a bluetooth mouse to your mac and hold down caps lock, then try to move the mouse. Does it work?

My trackpad works fine doing this, It's only the mouse that suffers.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
