    Hey folks, I just finished loading all my software on the machine and am ready to get down to work. I bought a Razer Orochi bluetooth mouse for this. I can't seem to get the M17x to see the mouse through bluetooth. It does see the bluetooth card and says the card is working appropriately though. Is there some trick to get it to see new devices?

    I've gone through the add a device section in the control panel, but that didn't do anything as the mouse wasn't seen.

    The mouse does have a USB wired option which the computer works fine with, thank goodness, but I'd like to use it wirelessly. Suggestions?

    Aha, figured it out. To be in discoverable mode, not only do you have to press the side 4 buttons, but you have to hold them there, till the computer sees it. I figured you just had to press them until the blue light turned on, on the mouse. Anyway, mouseing away now.

    Did I mention this lappy rocks? I love the M17x.
