    Mouse works without bluetooth software installed, but not all of it's functions.

    Install blutooth software and the mouse gets found, but when it pairs nothing happens and I can't see anyway to disable the paraphrase key.

    Any ideas :confused:

    Thanks

    When you first install and pair the mouse, there should be an option to not use a passkey.

    Thanks, I managed to get it working.

    I just reinstalled the softwre and on the 3rd try it worked.
    Still never brought up any passkey, it just started working.

    Hi, I have one question about this mouse, it's little off this topic, but I don't want to create a new one for this simple question.
    I have now Logitech V470 bluetooth mouse (and it's pretty good mice), but when it's in idle mode for few minutes it has really big delay before it start working again - I move the mouse, but pointer on the screen it's still on it's original position.
    Is this happening with the Dell's mouse too?? Cause it looks almost like the same, so I think I'll be satisfied with it too. Thanks for reply. :)

    Nope no big delay with my mouse, although there is a slight pause.
    I really like that little mouse.

    The Bell BTTM I got for my wife has a slight pause, a stagger, then all is fine.
