    So.. I got my x200 yesterday..
    I still can't make my BT mouse to work.
    Yes, I turned the BT radio on using Fn+F5
    and Yes, I've been to control panel..
    But my laptop just doesn't recognize my mouse..
    My PS3 recognizes my mouse no prob so I don't think
    it's the mouse... If I know the mac address of the mouse,
    then would I be able to connect my mouse to my x200 manually somehow?

    Are you putting the Bluetooth mouse into pairing mode, when you're searching for it on your computer?

    Do you have a bluetooth headset around? Have you tried pairing it to your machine?

    I have a Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 5000. All I did was turn on the BT via Fn+F5, turn on mouse, then turn on BT search button on mouse and it worked for me without installing any mouse software.
