“If you’re having serious issues with a connected peripheral device like a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, you should know that there’s a special menu option buried beneath the Bluetooth symbol near the top-right of your screen,” Melissa Holt reports for The Mac Observer.
“If you’re missing that icon, you can get it to appear there by visiting System Preferences > Bluetooth and checking ‘Show Bluetooth in menu bar,'” Holt reports. “Once you can see it, here’s the trick. If you hold down Shift-Option and then click on the icon, you’ll get a ‘Debug’ menu to appear.”
Holt reports, “Hidden under that “Debug” option are a few very useful choices.”
