    So I've used it before with my M11x, but recently picked up a SSD and did a fresh install. Had some issues with the Bluetooth drivers, but they are resolved (BT disappeared from tray, had to uninstall and reinstall...just a minor headache).

    Now, when I try to pair the mouse (hold all four side buttons for five seconds), Windows sees the mouse but just hangs on "Connecting to device...". Now I don't believe this is an issue with software, as my iPhone is found and can connect with Windows without any issues.

    I have Orochi software already installed, and wired mode works fine. Any suggestions?

    Also not sure if it is related, but I have "Phantom" in my Devices and Printers section and have absolutely no idea what it belongs too.

    Did you "un-pair" the mouse before the install? If not, the mouse considers itself already paired to the bluetooth module and wont do it again. Try pairing it with another machine to delete the first pairing.

    ^This. Someone else had the exact same issue recently; the mouse thinks it's still paired, the computer doesn't. He ended up pairing it to his PS3 and back to his laptop and it worked fine.

    I did not know this--thanks, I'll give it a shot in the morning. :)

    EDIT: Worked out perfectly. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Woo! Thank god you posted that or it would have taken me forever to figure that out. It keeps seeing it and just sitting at the pairing screen.hopefully my issues will be fixed when i pair it with my iphone...

    EDIT: FYI, I did the same thing. On a fresh install
