    So I'm looking into getting a bluetooth-capatible mouse. I am looking at getting this one:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BDH2Y8/ref=pd_cp_e_title/002-8219575-0761615
    I am planning on using this with my hp dv6000t.
    I am also planning on upgrading to Windows Vista on my new hp notebook.
    This bluetooth mouse says it is capatible with Windows XP, but can I use it with Windows Vista?
    Can I use any other bluetooth mouse with Windows Vista?
    Thanks in advance.
    -MATT :D

    It should work though I dont have my V270 right now to test it (its on my desk in college lol). Anyway the Bluetooth is standard and I tried out Bluetooth support on my Dell D420 with my Razr V3m and it worked fine so I dont see why it wont work for a mouse.

    Anyway if you want a definitive answer I can try it out when I get back to college on the 14th.

    Just got to my dorm and tested it. It works great with Vista. The built-in bluetooth stack found the mouse right away and I had it installed in like 30 seconds.

    no i was just wondering if mice are compatible with vista. It says that they are compatible with XP, but they dont say anything about vista. I guess that all mice that work with XP are compatible with vista... from what he said...

    yeah that it good, i would be very surprised if they did not work with vista, that would mean they would have to come out with a whole different set of mice that work with vista! lol
