I tried the original bluetooth wedge mouse and it absolutely cratered my wifi performance. Does anyone know if this Surface version fixes the problem?

I have a number of Surface 2 Pro tablets in the field and none have exhibited this issue with the Wedge mouse.

I do not really recommend this mouse. I had many connectivity issues with it. Logitech makes a much better rechargable mouse and it has a smaller profile that is great for travel

You betcha it does= my wife and I use these on our surfaces= OH no more wires= super- never had a problem with them- replaced the battery once since we got them last Christmas- Best mice EVER!!!!!! Too bad the surfaces don't have 2 USB slots- I would never have to use the surface without the mouse to connect to my flashdrive. But hey= can't have everything I guess- and it works 10 feet away from my big screen that I connect my surface to when I am running streaming /internet vids- I don't have to get out of my easy chair to control HD vids- OH MY Gosh what ease - NO MORE CABLES - now we are going to Bluetooth headphones.

I can't answer your specific question, but I wouldn't recommend this mouse. I ended up giving up using it because it would constantly just lose connection with my laptops and sometimes so bad I couldn't reconnect without rebooting. I don't believe it was my laptops, as other bluetooth mice didn't have this issue.

I have used it on a Surface tab running 8, but so not believe I have upgraded yet to 8.1. I am VERY happy with the size, performance and cost of the mouse. I have traveled with it many times in last 6mos and it has survived several good drops. Also have not had to swap batteries yet so power management seems good as well! Enjoy. Les.

Mine is working fine and seems to connect almost instantaneously. I would try on other pcs or laptops if it was too late to return. I have two desktops and three laptops being use in my household. I have and have had around five or seven wireless mouse. Only one from china gave us some trouble. It was cheap.

I've no experience with the setup you're using, but what I've noticed with using this mouse with my samsung tablet is that provided I don't completely power down the tablet, then the mouse syncs back up. To save power while the tablet is sleeping, I tend to disable the wireless and Bluetooth and have noticed that sometimes when I power back up, the mouse doesn't resync and I have to reconnect it, which doesn't take too long.

I just ordered the N5902, and I was watching reviews that when paired to the xbox the mouse does not work. You have to use the directional pad arrows to navigate the menus. Typing in search or chat or url works just like any other ordinary keyboard. Hope that helps if you havent purchased one already. I think it's a neat and compact design so i want to give it a try. The keyboard reminds me of the old Blackberry BOLD phone keyboards (Which i liked)

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...

Actually, I am also. I have revamped the machine multiple times with new Windows installations and the system only recognized my Bluetooth mouse one time, at one Windows installation. It is currently not recognizing it.

No, only problem has been the bluetooth mouse locking up. Have to press the reset button on mouse to get it to reconnect.

I have a usb wireless mouse & keyboard both work w/o a hiccup. I also have Bluetooth mouse & keyboard; they don't work very well at all. Frequently have to "wake" them up & after about a half-hour they time-out completely. I switched to usb wireless & haven't had an issue, yet (after about 2 years of constant use). If you're running Windows 7 on it, I recommend upgrading to Windows 8. It fixes 95% of the issues w/ this machine. Windows 7 is notorious for having issues loading drivers. Under Windows 7, my pen, printer & Wacom tablet drivers wouldn't load and/or would have glitches. This is on several different machines not just my Asus. Once I upgraded to Windows 8 (it was only $14 at the time), all those problems went away. If you're using Windows 8 already, maybe just double check your peripherals do actual work on another machine & try loading the drivers manually from the mouse manufacturer's site. Also, loading the Windows updates from the Microsoft site may help. Best of luck. Hope it works. I love my Asus Slate.

I have no experience with "Microsoft Surface tablet. What you will have to figure out (learn), is whether it uses a different frequency for transmission and reception of the WiFi signals. Apple is always making their products unique in order to make more profit. I have no idea of how the Microsoft product functions.

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.

I am using a Bluetooth dongle off of my desktop and have had no problems connecting. A little tricky to get it to connect, but once I got it connected it hasn't stopped rockin'!

Common problem. I solved the "USELESS MOUSE" by attaching the wifi dongle to to the extention cord it came with and made sure it was visible. There are other 2.4ghz controls that maybe interfering too. Make sure no other wireless apparatus is being used around it. this does not have a bluetooth capability. This is the downside.

There are other non-Surface-specific Arc mice with Bluetooth available. The difference is about $40. The less expensive Arc does have Bluetooth 4.0. I don't know what makes this model specific to the Surface. The least expensive Arcs use the dongle dude.
