It's very annoying for me to have to press the button on the receiver each time I switch between Mac and PC and I wish it would just stay permanently in Mac/PC mode (white light). One thing I noticed is that my particular receiver always starts in PS mode (blue light) when I swap devices. CONNECT - With a range of up to 30 feet, connect up to four Wireless Controllers and four Wireless Headsets simultaneously with one Wireless Gaming Receiver.
