    hi.. I would like to buy a wireless bluetooth mouse and I was thinking
    if this mouse will work with bluetooth installed in M1530 {bluetooth 355 +EDR} and therefore I will have another USB slot free - or it will work only with its own bluetooth..

    PS.. what that is mean EDR?
    Thanks.

    EDR is for enhanced data rate, it is optional, so if it's there, it's good, if it's not, it should still work, albiet slow.

    Given we're talking about mice though, I don't think you need to worry about the mouse being able to do 3mbps, so should be fine there.

    As the other question, I honestly don't know since my only bluetooth devices are my ps3 controllers :).
