Is this mouse actually bluetooth? Will it work with a bluetooth laptop without having to use the supplied USB adapter?

No this is not Bluetooth sadly. You'll have to use the usb dongle that comes with it.

No you don't have to use the USB adapter if your laptop has Bluetooth already built-in. Adapter is use for the devices which is not Bluetooth enabled.

I used it with a Bluetooth mouse on win7 and it's perfect. No setup - plug and play.

The Bluetooth really put this over the edge for me. I love my Bluetooth Mouse, and not having a wireless USB dongle for a wireless mouse is great, especially with such a small laptop.

The dongle supplied (fits inside the mouse when not in use) is dedicated to the mouse and allows it to be used while another Bluetooth device is being used separately (via a second dongle). It also allows instant connection when you turn the laptop on so there are no Bluetooth connection menus to run through. It's seamless as far as the mouse is concerned.

Hello, This mouse will connect via Bluetooth without the need of the Unifying software. I just did it before answering you, and it has been immediately detected by my computer. Works perfectly.

Yes, I bought a Bluetooth mouse from Dell - it works well with this laptop.

NO, You must have a USB port open for use. I have two computers with blue tooth and had problems connecting with my blue tooth mouse, I trashed my $60 mouse and got two Logitech m185s no more problems. The 185 is superior to Blue Tooth in every way! Cheaper, Faster and always connects without a problem. I would never go back to a Blue Tooth again.

No, no, is the the most useless mouse I ever purchased, I use it to test if Bluetooth works on laptops I build. It is good looking but useless.

I've never connected it to a laptop, but it works quite fine with a tablet running Windows 8.1. On the phone side, the connection is somewhat weird -my OTG-enabled phone works as long as I have it connected through a USB hub. There is no extension for a mouse, you'll want a USB hub.

This bluetooth mouse only requires your laptop to have bluetooth capability. However, I found this to be an unworkable solution as it would not connect to my Windows 7 computer. So maybe you might wanna try one of the more reputable mice. Pay a bit more for the reliability. That solution worked for me.

I don't think that technology is ready for mice. There are a lot of problems. Just google for BT problems with mouse. I have a Bluetooth Samsung laptop. I already used 2 BT mouse. It worked for a few months. The laptop stopped recognizing the mouse. I can see the mouse from my phone but not the laptop. I will not buy BT mouse anymore... Perhaps that is the reason why they don't manufacture BT mice. NANO USB works much better...

Yes, this mouse pointer uses a tiny regular sized usb adapter. There are settings in the software to adjust sensitivity of the mouse. The major disadvantage of this mouse is its 15min battery life!! I purchased this mouse to use on a computer while walking on a treadmill and surfing the web. Since it only has 15min battery life at the most, I now use it with the included usb charge cable(microusb on one end and regular usb on the other)...so there goes your wireless mouse.

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.

I used it with my laptop. No problems. I need to use the USB cable, though, my laptop doesn't have bluetooth. If your laptop has bluetooth, you should be able to set up a wireless connection.

A bluetooth mouse is perfect because it doesn't use your USB port; however, if you have a USB port to spare then a USB mouse will work too. I prefer the bluetooth mouse. Hope this information helps.

No clue...honestly, I haven't used this item since purchasing it. I would assume as long as the computer recognizes the wireless dongle whatever port its plugged into, it should work. But why you wouldn't prioritize a more local USB port to a mouse and use this device for more external type devices doesn't make sense.
