That's a good deal. How do you like using the mouse? I find it pretty convenient... especially with a laptop that has bluetooth built in, NO DONGLES!

I need help. I cannot connect my mouse to my laptop. My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv2500. I cant get it to connect! D:

[askthesmartguy]

That's not good! Has it ever connected? Or did you purchase it and have never been able to connect it to this laptop?

Unfortunately, there is really only limited space here for answers, but I would suggest you check out the microsoft site under hardware for troubleshooting steps.... Open the "my bluetooth places" on your laptop then Press the bluetooth button on the bottom of the mouse, then click on "add a bluetooth device".

[askthesmartguy]

Good Question.

As far as I know, there is no official driver for this mouse.  Thereby, the default button layout applies.

However, Microsoft has the Intellipoint app that can customize the layout for some of their mouses...

[askthesmartguy]

Go to microsoft; and search for wireless intellipoint bluetooth and click on download software.... click on software for miscrosoft keyboard and mouse... Then look for wireless intellimouse explorer for bluetooth...

Hope this helps, let me know how it goes...

I got this mouse a year ago and really like it. My office laptop doesn't have built-in Bluetooth, so I added a micro Bluetooth transmitter, which sticks out only about 1/2". Connections are flawless. I had to train my brain to turn the mouse off when not in use to save battery life (they run out every 3 months or so that way).

Today I just got a MS Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 for speeches. It has built-in controls for PowerPoint & audio media on the "bottom", & a laser pointer. Woot!

I got it used for 15 bucks :D

does the scroll wheel go all 4 ways?

Just bought this mouse for use with my macbook pro, its replacing my magic mouse. The magic mouse is cool and all but i really started missing the scroll wheel. So far this mouse has been amazing, and intellipoint 7.1 fixes all the typical tracking problems the mac has, like the accelerated tracking.

Perfect mouse all around! Bluetooth always FTW ;)

Just got mine today. Can't believe i didn't get one of these before. It's da bomb!! great mouse

[vinnyangelo]

Hey pal, i need an opinion about this mouse. I'm about to buy it but i just went to CNET reviews and there's a bunch of ppl saying that the scroll wheel is noisy and stucky. But you said that is has a smoooth scrolling. So, what would you say? Would you recommend buying this mouse? Thanks.

I bought it off ebay for $25 =)
