One last issue solved on my NUC, not with OSX but with the NUC hardware -- something about the shape of the NUC case makes it really hard for my Microsoft wireless keyboard usb transmitter to stay in contact with my wireless keyboard, regardless of whether the usb dongle is in the front or back USB ports. I found that putting it on a short extension cord, even a few inches, fixes this.
To make it look a little cleaner, I used a passthrough USB volt/amp meter I have to give it just a few inches of clearance from the NUC case, which fixed the connection issues. Interestingly, it barely tips the scales at 0.01 amps, barely at the threshold of any reading at all. Picture attached. You can see my NUC in the foreground, and my 7-port USB hub/ext hdds/dead 2011 Mac Mini in the bg.

I had a similar problem. From my reading it was an interference in the 2.4 GHz range caused by USB 3 peripherals being plugged in too close to the wireless mouse. My workaround was to make sure the wireless keyboard/mouse was not plugged in on the same side as any USB3 devices. This helped, but it wasn't perfect.
I just got some wires to hook up my internal USB2 headers. I'm planning to put the wireless keyboard and internet dongles in there, so hopefully that will completely get rid of the issue.
