    Hey
    I just bought a T270P/L, and to use with it, I bought a Bluetooth optical mouse.
    It's a generic brand, so it came with no drivers; just the drivers for the bluetooth 2.0+EDR dongle.

    When I connected the mouse to the built in BT, everything was fine, except for the scroll wheel. I can't scroll through pages, but actually pushing the button that allows me to browse through the pages is fine, so I know that it's not undetected.

    Are there any drivers for this or anything? Or at least a fix?
    Cuz I really miss the scroll wheel :(

    Check that you have proper software installed for the mouse, as well as proper settings. Google is your friend. If it still wont work it may be the mouse itself

    what do you mean by proper software?
    And as for settings, I checked everything thoroughly, but still nothing
    and i tried google, but the most I could find was stuff for linux and ubuntu, and just drivers for specific apps, not XP itself

    After googling for about 2 days, I still can't find a solution; about 80% of all search results all talk about linux or a different OS, and the other 15% talk about specific programs, with only the last 5% talking about relevant stuff, that doesn't even work.

    I'm certain the scroll wheel works though since my laptop acknowledges the 3rd button (the scroll wheel button)

    I have the exact same problem; Dell Inspiron 1505, Rocketfish bluetooth mouse, windows vista SP1. I have a feeling it has something to do with the drives and vista, but I have yet to find a solution as well. The most frustrating part is that occasionally the scroll wheel will work for a little while when I reboot the computer.
