Anybody using this Dell Bluetooth mouse with the Studio 15?

The website doesn't list the Studio 15 as compatible with it. The SXPS 16 is there, but I figured bluetooth is bluetooth
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..
So I dropped the extra 40 something for the bluetooth capability in my 1640, thinking it would be a fantastic way to save a usb port and add convenience for an external mouse.
Problem is, I've been to several futureshops, bestbuys, and londondrugs and none of them (okay, there was ONE) have bluetooth mice...
Where would a good place to look be, a place I can actually go in and get a feel (even if only through clear plastic) of the mouse (rather than online like NCIX or Newegg).
What is the best bluetooth mouse for the SXPS 16? I think both the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 and Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 look good but don't know much about them...
View 6 Replies View RelatedI wanted to add Bluetooth to my laptop so that I could get a wireless mouse (and down the road, a wireless keyboard as well). I know I could have went with some sort of RF wireless, but I just know that somewhere down the line I would end up losing the dongle -- so BT was the best bet!
Made my purchase 7/21 early in the AM, and my items arrived on 7/22 in the afternoon! I live in Indy, and the items came from near Dayton, Ohio... but still, talk about free shipping! I also purchased a new SwissGear/Wenger backpack, and that shipped separately from South Bend, Indiana -- and also arrived today on 7/22.
Went to install the BT module in my laptop, and my worst fear was true -- Dell sent me the wrong screws! There were many reviews on the Dell site about them sending out the wrong screws, and I was afraid it would happen, and unfortunately it did. I went through all my screws, and could not find anything that would fit... so, so that I could test the module I temporarily left it installed without being screwed it. The install was uber-easy, connect up the blue antenna, and done!
I really like this travel mouse, as well. I put some rechargeable batteries in it which I hope will help it last for quite a while. Its slightly larger than my previous wired travel mouse (from Logitech), but I like that. It isnt anywhere near being a full-size mouse, but its a good size for me. A little heavy with two AA batteries in it, but not terrible or anything. I'd might try to find a little pouch to stuff it in when taking it with me, for a little extra scratch-protection and what-not. Oh, I got the matte black version, cuz I hate glossy things that show fingerprints
I chatted with Dell tonight, and they are "supposedly" sending me the proper screws... in 3-5 business days. I tried to get them to upgrade that to overnight shipping so I would definitely have them this week, but they absolutely refused to do that. So now I need to shut the laptop back down and remove the BT card because I don't like the idea of it just dangling in there not being screwed down.
Anyway, thats my experience. My first attempt at an upgrade to my Studio 15 (1537). Next will be a back-lit keyboard, when the finances are not so ... strained After that, maybe a bluetooth keyboard if I can find a decent one that isn't like a bajillion dollars
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.
I am looking for a Bluetooth mouse for my MBP.
There is Apple Magic Mouse, but I am still not sure on its ease and usability. Even though I need it for my notebook I dont want the very small notebook mice, since I will be attaching my MBP to external monitor most of the times, a desktop Bluetooth mouse would be preferred.
I noticed this problem with my studio 1537, I usually use a external bluetooth mouse at home, but I don't bring it to school. When I do use the mouse I disable the mouse touchpad.
However the problem is that if i kept the mouse on and connected and allow the laptop to sleep, when I turn it on the next day at school I don't have mine external mouse with me and the touchpad is still disabled, which I thought it would have automatically enable itself since it doesn't detect an external mouse.
I was just wondering if anyone does this and might have already figured out a way to solve the problem. So far the only way I can fix this problem at school without using external mouse is to restart the laptop all over after I wake it up from sleep first.
I have a dell Inspiron Dell1525 with the bluetooth mouse they sent me. I left the mouse on and had to change the batteries. The mouse worked fine. I took a food break and left the mouse on.
When I tried to use it, the cursor didn't appear on the screen. Any ideas? The only thing I can think of is the bluetooth connection needs to be redone. Any ideas how to do it?
Am using N5010..Windows 7 Ultimate.I already used the Bluetooth mouse ,now i tried to add the Bluetooth mouse using add device but the system cannot find the Bluetooth mouse its keeps on searching. Mouse works fine in other systems. Its Belkin mouse
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've had this problem for quite a while. I'm unable to register Microsoft mice with the bluetooth on my Latitude D630.
I originally thought it was the mouse I purchased ... but the mouse worked fine when I used the bluetooth adapter that it shipped with.
I recently purchased a MS Presenter Mouse 8000 and tried to register it with the bluetooth stack. Every time I try I get a "Registration Failed" message.
The software can see the mouse ... and I hear the standard "Registering hardware" chimes, but then I get the "Registration failed" message.
I'm running "Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba" version 4.31.02.6(D).
I am planning to buy a bluetooth mouse for my Vaio FW. On ebay, the most listings of BT mice are devices manufactured by Microsoft, DPI, Sony, Logitech, Hewlett Packard, Dell, IOGear, and Kensington.
Which brand(s) of bluetooth mice would you recommend for use with the Sony? (participate in the poll above)
have found the keyboard on its own for a bargain price, however it does not come with the USB bluetooth adaptor, just the keyboard on its own.
My question is will the keyboard (and the mouse if I ever buy it seperately) work with my Studio 15's built in bluetooth?
I have googled for ages on this but can't get a definitive answer. There have been mentions of 'no' some people say yes but you have to change the bluetooth stack e.t.c.
I have an M6600 running Windows 7.
The BT Moust is a Dell Travel Mouse F299K. When I add it through the normal bluetooth menu, it seems to add correctly, but the blue light on the mouse keeps blinking.
I updated the BIOS to A12- that got it working for about 15 minutes. Then it quit and I'm back to where I started. I tried the mouse on two other machines and it works fine. Even on a Macbook Pro.

I recently bought a Sony Bluetooth mouse and on the packaging it says that the provided batteries could last for three months. I'm confused on how this is supposed to be used. Does it mean that it will last three month even if I leave it on and connected all the time? I have my laptop docked and it stays on 24/7. If I leave this mouse connected with the laptop, will it still last three months?
In the mouse settings window of the Control Panel, under Bluetooth, the mouse shows only 85% charge remaining after only 4 days of the type of usage described above!
I have a one year old sz680 CTO with a bluetooth vaio mouse VGP-BMS33. The strange thing is that the mouse only works well when I position it to the left of the vaio.
When I have it between me and the laptop, the mouse pointer moves in shocks, and on the right it doesn't work at all. (As a test, I also tried it behind the laptop and there it also in shocks).
I have tried to move the laptop to a different location, away from external power. I have turned of wlan & wwan. I have used different batteries, both common and rechargables.
I purchased an Envy 15-J108la notebook about a month ago (Windows 8.1 64). I also bought a Microsoft bluetooth mouse to use with it.
First I noticed mouse stoped working randomly, maybe 2 times a day. Sometimes it was enough to turn it off and on again to recover it, but sometimes I had to reboot.
I updated the bluetooth driver (Intel Bluetooth 4.0 Driver, 2014-01-18, Version 3.1), problem persisted but seemed to occur less frequently.
Today after installing an update for the wireless adapter the device manager reported that the Intel Bluetooth 4.0 device was faulting. Tried to dissable and re-enable but the device simply dissapeared. Now device manager reports a "Unknown USB device" with error 43, and bluetoth devices are not detected, no matter how many times I reboot.
All my drivers are up to date, my mouse has new batteries, and I tried this fix:

Now my Bluetooth mouse only works after I reboot the computer, but then disconnects after a while, and I can't even add it again to my Bluetooth devices.
I have a MacBook Pro (MBP) with OSX 10.5.6. I use Logitech Bluetooth (BT) mouse and it works OK under OSX.
However, in Boot Camp running Windows XP SP2, the scroll wheel does not work. Everything else, like left and right buttons work. I tried it with another BT mouse and it's the same thing.
If I tried using regular wireless mouse, everything works.
i have a Envy TS m7 computer with windows 8.1 64bit. I purchased a z8000 bluetooth mouse but i can't get my computer to see it. i have checked the the box "allow bluetooth devices to find this PC".
View 9 Replies View RelatedSeveral times a week, my bluetooth mouse will freeze. I can still use the touchpad or the red dot. Fix is to Fn+F5 and stop and start the bluetooth radio. Looking in Lenovo System Update, I can see the Bluetooth driver is a recent install and is version 6.5.1.4500 for Windows 7 [32/64].
Mouse is Targus bluetooth mouse, model: AMB09US
Since updating to ThinkPad Bluetooth software 6.5.1.2700 on July 28, 2012, my ThinkPad Bluetooth mouse will stop working after using it for several hours. Disabling power management in Bluetooth does not seem to solve the problem. Please provide a download link to the prior version of ThinkPad Bluetooth software until this issue is resolved.

The touchpad on my Studio 1749 is erratic - it zooms in and out or scrolls when all I am doing is moving the cursor around the screen. I have updated drivers recently and run Dell Detect.

I have installed most of the drivers through safe mode, but the mouse will only work when i connect an external mouse when it's in normal mode.
Also i do get some bad sectors on the hard drive, and it takes over 2mins to shut down the comp. I havent installed programs yet, except PC Wizard 2008. Also the laptop is not the base model with 512MB ram i have added a 1gb stick and it works fine. I am thinking maybe its the hard drive. If
Is anybody there who has the new stuido 17 (1745)?
Did it has Bluetooth included? The shop didn't show any blutooth option, as I see.
Is it possible to add internal bluetooth to the 14z after the fact? If so, what is the part needed to do this? While we're at it, what about wireless N?
Backstory - Ordered my laptop early December, took delivery mid December. I'm thrilled with the product except for the fact that it doesn't have bluetooth. I thought I had chosen that option, but upon looking at my invoice it appears I didn't. I went back through the customize engine on Dell's website and interestingly enough, I don't see anywhere you can choose bluetooth. Searched their parts website with no luck. Searched Google with no luck. So I tried to email Dell customer service. 3 weeks later, they finally told me to email/call tech support. So I called tech support yesterday. They told me that the wireless and bluetooth internal options are integrated onto the motherboard and have to be specified at the time of order. The only solution she could give me was to return the laptop and re-order it. The problem I voiced with that was that there isn't any way to specify bluetooth (or wireless N for that matter) on the customize page on Dell's website. Of course, she said she couldn't help with that and I needed to go back to customer service. Obviously, I was pretty irate (no cussing though! I kept my cool, but made it obvious I was upset) and she gave me a line that CS's lines were down and I needed to call them back in an hour.
So before I call CS, I'd like to try to get some more information. If you guys can help, I'd really appreciate it. Otherwise, I'm about ready to tell them to send a call tag send this thing back simply based on how terrible their after the sale service has been.
For those of you with a studio 1555 with bluetooth, are you able to turn it off, or is it permanently on?.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I got my new Dell 1737 laptop and realized that I did not order it with bluetooth (oops).
The reason I should have gotten bluetooth is that I use a wireless mouse and I seem to keep banging the usb adapter that sticks out the side.
I would like to have a wireless mouse but without the thing sticking out so far. I chatted with Dell and all they would tell me about is the USB bluetooth adapter, he said I shouldn't go inside a new laptop cause I might mess it up (paraphrasing).
On the Dell site, I found a 370 internal card. Would this fit my laptop and how easy is it to install? My husband is familiar with tinkering with the older laptops but I really don't find the prospect of him digging around in my brand new laptop desirable, but I will leave the house for a few hours if that is my only option .
Searching through old posts I saw a 370 card referred to and referenced with a PCI Express slot. Is it possible to get a bluetooth adapter card that fits in that long slot on the left side of the laptop? or is the only option opening the whole thing up?
I just ordered a Studio 14z from dell.
- C2D 6600
- 3gb ddr3 Ram
- 320gb 7.2k
- 900p lcd
- backlit keyboard
The only option I missed out on was the internal bluetooth.
So I read the Service Manual for the 14z and it doesn't seem like it would be to much trouble to manually install the 365 module. Also I found the 365 internal module on ebay WITH the mounting screws. It seems like a perfect fit.
