How do you get this to work with Blue-Tooth hardware like headphones and mouse?

This does not have Bluetooth capability. It comes with a dongle for the wireless keyboard and mouse. But it does lack Bluetooth.

You would need a USB receiver, which often come with the wireless devices. I recently purchased one here on Amazon which will work with several devices at once.

You need to get a Bluetooth adapter. ASUS sells one but any brand should work.

I feel your pain, I have enough USB crap to wire a small town. So I started using Macs, so, Easiest way, Buy a Mac! Bluetooth included as standard, otherwise keep screaming at Microsoft! Eventually, If Microsoft pushes hard enough, PC makers may decide to include the Bluetooth hardware.... or Buy a Mac!Oh almost forgot, MS does make a cute little Bluetooth notebook mouse 5000, works great with my little ASUS netbook, its no magic mouse, but just a standard scroll mouse.

do you have an export/ import usb port? if you do, good. there is a mini cd with files that have to be downloaded so you can use the bluetooth dongle. yes, it will talk to your bluetooth headphones, keyboard, mouse and two other bluetooth devices. all of them at once!

I use the charging stand as a receiver. It's plugged into the computer via USB. You can also use the cord for the receiver to directly plug it into the mouse. But yeah, not sure about the bluetooth

You should be able able to connect it to anything that is bluetooth compatible. And here are the intsructions: In order to sync the mouse with your Bluetooth device, simply hold the left, right, and scroll buttons at the same time for 15 seconds or until your device senses the mouse.Good luck, and hope this helps (:

Bluetooth connects one input device at a time so no. Get a wireless usb mouse

For people researching answers on the keyboard and mouse, they do not work out of the box, Acer is a bit mis-leading on them. They are not bluetooth, they are wireless and you have to remove the wireless dongle from the battery compartment of the mouse. Then insert into a open usb 2.0 port and wait. Once the computer recognizes the dongle it will start syncing up with the mouse and keyboard.

I have a logictech Bluetooth adapter connected to mine and it works fine, got it here on Amazon for about $30

With a USB Bluetooth adapter this system can connect to a Bluetooth headset. Bluetooth isn't built in

Magickly - thank you very much for the information. I actually succeeded - i did try deleting and re-pairing but I also went to Medialink and downloaded another driver and reinstalled and then viola! So, it can be done! If you look on the medialink usb bluetooth adapter product page here in Amazon, their customer support has posted in the discussions with the links for drivers and other info - I applaud them for their proactive outreach to customers.

Should be very simple. Plug adapter and BMR receiver into dock, power up sound dock, go into you're bluetooth settings and make sure it is enabled. Then pick from listing of bluetooth devices available...all done!

The mouse has two Bluetooth profile so that devices can distinguish it as a mouse or a speaker. For the mouse features to work you have to pair the device to the mouse profile

I have used Bluetooth keyboards and mouses, but prefer Logitech parts that use the tiny unifying receiver. Takes up one USB port for both, and range is superior, they also connect at boot, don't need to wait for the BT drivers to load.

You can use this with any device that has a headphones port...no bluetooth (unless I've missed this feature somehow!)

Without knowing the steps that you went through to try and connect the mouse, I am just going to go over the details/steps. You need to ensure that bluetooth is enabled on your laptop and that your laptop is discoverable. You then need to press and hold the button on the bottom of the mouse until you see the blue light on the mouse light up and blink. This makes the mouse discoverable. Then on your laptop, you should see the mouse as a bluetooth device that you can select and pair.

Try hooking up just a standard wireless mouse and see if that works, it may not be connecting to your Bluetooth keyboard properly yet. If the mouse does work use it to get to Bluetooth settings.

Make sure you have the latest Bluetooth drivers installed on your computer and that Bluetooth is enabled on laptop
