I have a mac book pro running osx lion. I was using a wireless keyboard for awhile but don't want to anymore. Now every minute or so the the keyboard is trying to reconnect. I don't want to shut off bluetooth, because i use a track pad. I'm worried that this is something malicious trying to connect to my computer as well as being ridiculously annoying. I've had to reject three times in teh course of this message. Please help!
Just an update to state the things i have tried. I've gone into the bluetooth prefs and removed the entry from the list of paired devices and it just comes back less than a minute later.

So finally, the olive branch:
In terminal, I did the following:
Then, I turned off bluetooth, and turned it back on. Opened System preferences and selected the bastard's keyboard and clicked the 'minus' button.
Appears to do the trick. We get married in March.
