    is it a standard bluetooth mouse?
    IE, could I pair it up with any BT dongle and give it to someone else (for instance my SO to use with his antedeluvian desktop)?

    Or is it just a deadweight and best used as a christmas-tree ornament?

    (I don't use external mice, ever.)

    you can see it under the devide if it is a bluetooth mouse from the bluetooth logo and the bluetooth address. if it is a bluetooth, you can pair it with any bluetooth capable laptop or by using a bluetooth dongle

    I tried a Ferrari 4000 Bluetooth Mouse with a Belkin USB Bluetooth Device. It worked. But i did not liked the mouse - it was not very ergonomic. It was not very precise if it was in the battery mode.

    Thanks guys.
    I've heard so many nasty things about that mouse that I was just curious.
    Though it is probably a moot point - after thinking about it some more, and consulting the family expert, I will probably not be getting that ferrari anyway... :-(.
