It's always connected to the computer now, even after switching it off. Comes with a receiver stick but you don't have to use it if your computer has Bluetooth. This is an expensive mouse, but it's worth every penny. Pros: I work on a laptop for about 8 hours a day in mixed locations (home, coffee shop, airport, etc.), and simply cannot use a track pad.

I would have given this product a "3", but it lucked out because there are so few competing Bluetooth mice out there. My con points 2 - 4 are personal preferences. Instead, use the "My Bluetooth Places" system in "My Computer" to discover the mouse.Ģ. If you have a Thinkpad and are running WinXP, don't use Microsoft's "Bluetooth Devices" Program in the control panel to discover the mouse - it might not work. Scroll wheel has no tactile feedback click. Microsoft should have stuck with the thumb buttons.Ĥ. The back and forward buttons are hard to reach. The middle click requires an extreme amount of force.ģ. This flaw is ridiculous because the main draw of a Bluetooth mouse is that you don't have to use a dongle.Ģ.

The documentation doesn't say much about using a laptop's built-in Bluetooth rather, the documentation almost INSISTS that you use the included USB dongle. The recharging station works much better than the upright chargers used by other manufacturers.Ĭons: 1. Connected to my Thinkpad T60 easily once I figured out the "My Bluetooth Places thing" (see below)Ĥ.
