Here's the second paragraph that Jason omitted:
"There may be a way to get around this, but if there is, it has not been
discovered as yet. Thus, USB peripherals are strongly recommended for
Yosemite; with Adesso and Macally delivering top-notch USB keyboards for the
Mac, and countless companies offering professional-level USB mice, most
users will prefer to take those options rather than deal with the laggy ADB
performance on Yose."
Those third-party peripherals are less expensive than Apple's and carry
better warranties.
Just trying to prevent another round of Apple bashing. For the record, I'm
going to suck it up and purchase one of those USB peripherals when I order
my new Yosemite 400. I hate the iMac keyboard and mouse.
