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.

Yes, true. If your system is Bluetooth ready, you just need to turn on the Bluetooth adapter and go to Bluetooth settings to (temporarily) allow device (mouse) to be paired. When you push the blue button on the bottom of the mouse, it will send (flash) it's signal for your system to recognize it. It should be that simple or easier if your Bluetooth adapter is already configured to allow HIDs (Human Interface Devices). In that case, you may be able to just push the blue button on the bottom of the mouse and your system will show HID (mouse) found.

I am not sure if you know it came without a battery so you will need a battery for it. As soon as I inserted the battery and connected the usb connector (which is attached to the mouse) to my pc, it took about 5min to complete synchronization and begun working. For mine, I noticed the blue light after i inserted the battery as a confirmation of power. Good luck

Yes. When I got my new laptop which uses Windows 8, I simply plugged in the wireless connector. The mouse still works.

I had the same problem. It seems to work for me if I turn the power off in-between each use--meaning when I'm done working I turn it off and then turn it back on when I'm ready to use again. I've found that I need to do this if I have not used the keyboard for longer than an hour. Additionally, I always need to do this if I move my laptop to another room and then bring it back to my desk. This is an unfortunate problem because I really like the keyboard, except for this problem. BTW, I purchased the Bluetooth Sculpt Mouse at the same time, and I've never been able to get it to connect properly for longer than a few minutes.

I had the same question when I saw this mouse. Searching the user reviews for "bluetooth" shows this mouse is NOT bluetooth compatible. The mouse specs say "Bluetrack technology", but it apparently requires the USB dongle. Hopefully MS will release a future Arc Touch mouse that supports bluetooth. I'd like to replace my laptop travel bluetooth mouse with a portable flat designed mouse like this one.

Are you saying you didn't install any drivers to use the Linksys USBBT100 Bluetooth adapter? I have a Windows 7 64 bit PC. Linksys says that they don't have a driver for my system and I'd love to use this device to sync my smartphone. Thanks!

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.

Is that to say that you can use the mouse and keyboard w/o the included dongle? I'm looking for a bluetooth set to use w/ the integrated bluetoth. Thanks.

I use these with my Fujitsu laptop, running Windows 7, all the time. One little issue though. It does NOT automatically connect after it's been paired. I have to go into the Sound settings and manually load the driver, including telling it to play sound files. I have emailed AresX about this issue and they are working with Microsoft to come up with a fix.

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.

This is not a Bluetooth device, it has the cordless USB insert for connectivity. I have accidently purchased a Bluetooth mouse only to find out that Window's OS does not support Bluetooth. Bluetooth can be used with non-Window's based devices such as Droid or Apple tablets.

I'm not a computer person, but I believe that it just plugs into the power source on your laptop to communicate with the mouse. I didn't have to install and software, so should be fine.

Sharon, Yes it connects through bluetooth. Not sure about a mouse but I am sure there may be one that could bluetooth connect. I will check into that. :)

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.

Dear Raymond, Thank you for your questions regarding our BTD-400 Bluetooth Adapter. The BTD-400 can be connected to any number of devices. In your specific set up, you should be able to send/receive files and use your mouse as the profiles use by each device within Bluetooth are different.Please contact us at support@kinivo.com if you have any additional questions.

We tried Bluetooth, it works basically. When we connected a Bluetooth Laser Mouse the following problem occurs : After 1 to 3 Minutes of using the mouse in e.g. Firefox, Mouse will be disconnected. You will then have to reconnect the mouse using the Configure Tool, resp. at least you will have to switch from Desktop to Tiles view. We were not able to fix the problem and - actually there are no fixes available. Therefore we deactivated Bluetooth and bought a wireless USB Mouse which works properly.
