It's a confusing issue, because nothing should wake up a lid-closed MacBook; also, there is a distinction between mouse activity waking up from a sleep mode, and Bluetooth activity waking up from a sleep mode, and then BlueTooth activity via mouse activity waking up from a sleep mode. To make matters worse, when my mouse isn't planted on a flat surface, it seems like it sends out more bluetooth messages; kind of a like a turtle on it's back - "help me, help me!". To make matters worse, occasionally the setting of "don't wake up on mouse activity" somehow resets itself on occasion. I don't think it's magically switched over in a few month.
