 The Twiddler3 operates in both Wired, via USB, and Wireless, via Bluetooth 2.1 (Class 2, BT 2.1 + EDR) HID Profile.  When in Bluetooth mode, the Twiddler3 must be paired before it will start sending keystrokes and mouse data to your host device.

 ==== Power Saving =====
-After 5 minutes of inactivity, no button presses or mouse movement, the Twiddler3 will go into a sleep mode.  This sleep mode deactivates the Bluetooth Radio and disconnects from the host device.  In order to wake up the Twiddler3 from sleep mode, just push down on the Joystick as you would issue a "right mouse click".  You will see the Status LED blink green while the BT Radio is reactivated and repaired with your host device.  This is usually done automatically and within 2-5 seconds.  Actual pair times vary and are dependent on your host device.  You can use the Twiddler3 as usual once the pairing procedure has completed.  The Status LEDs will stop blinking once the pair has completed.

 The Twiddler3 uses a Microchip RN42HID-I/RM Bluetooth Radio.
+==== USB 3 Port ====
+If you have a Bluetooth dongle connected to a USB 3 port on your host, you may experience decreased Bluetooth performance.  Popular motherboard manufacturers, like Asus, have white papers on this subject.
+Here are links to:

+The easiest solution to mitigate the RF interference is to get a USB extender cable and plug the dongle further away from the host's USB 3 port.
