    Hi
    My Vaio Pro 11 has Bluetooth 4.0 and installed Windows 7 Pro.
    However when I want to buy a BT4.0 mouse. It always mention support Win 8 only.
    Or I have to plugin another USB BT 4.0 dongle for pairing mouse.

    But I don't want to waste my usb port. I have 2 usb port only.
    Any one know which mouse I can buy it?

    Thanks!

    Get wireless mouse w/ dongle

    You have less delay and mouse can go up to 500h/z report rate
