Is there really a Bluetooth Mouse that works?

I'd really like to use Bluetooth on my 12" Powerbook, but I've yet to find one that isn't jumpy or loses connections.
Is there really a BT mouse that works with OSX?

I just picked up the Logitech V270 BT mouse and am quite impressed. Connections, range and tracking are steady for Office apps and browsing. It's simple with a scroll wheel, two buttons and a power off switch. You shoud try one because it may be too small for some hands- fine for me.
This was motivated by having the Apple BT mouse replaced for the second time in 2.5 years.

  • Bluetooth Mouse stops working after software updates

    Hello,
    I've been using a Bluetooth mouse with my X220 Tablet for several months now. After fiddling with device manager to ensure that the Thinkpad Bluetooth device does not have the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" setting set, things were working perfectly.
    However, after running through some windows & Lenovo updates, the mouse now seems to work for a while, but after any idle time, the mouse stops working. Turning the mouse off & back on seems to cause it to reconnect, and it works until the next time it goes idle for 2 minutes.
    I've gone through device manager, and made sure both the Bluetooth & USB Root devices are set not to power down (per http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Bluetooth-mouse-stops-working-from-time-to-tim... ), but still no luck.
    The software updates applied from the Lenovo System Update tool were:
    ThinkPad Power Management Driver: 1.67.04.05
    ThinkPad Power Manager: 6.64.4
    Lenovo Solution Center: 2.4.002
    Intel G1/G2 Display Driver: 9.17.10.3347
    Also, some windows updates  which don't seem related (mostly security), but I can lookup the list of KB numbers if helpful.
    Are there any known issues with the power manager updates that might affect this? If so, what's the best way to revert to the last working version?
    Thanks!

    Try doing a PRAM reset and see if that helps, also put in new batteries as that may make a difference.

  • Bluetooth mouse not working on T430s

    All my drivers are up to date, my mouse has new batteries, and I tried this fix:
    http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2010/01/bluetooth-mouse-losing-connection-no-more/
    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.
    Can somebody please help?
    Solved!

    Hi everyone!
    I had problems with my new Rapoo 6080 mouse, it didn't want to work with my laptop anyhow.
    The connection was successful, but the cursor was dead, and in a few minutes Windows removed the mouse connection with the following error in Event Log:
    Initial connection to Bluetooth HID device failed.  The device has been removed as a personal or paired device.  You must reinstall the device.
    I called Lenovo techsupport, they have referred me to this thread.
    Now I have found a solution, that might not be perfect and requires some skills, but IT WORKS (at least for me). I have installed Toshiba bluetooth stack on my laptop, replacing the drivers from Lenovo.
    Toshiba has ceased support for other manufacturer's devices in their stack, but a little fix of VID and PID values in tosrfusb.inf file did the job.
    Not sure if I should provide details on how to do the whole process, as it requires some skills and accuracy. I guess those who are familiar with Windows will find their way.
    BTW, the stack I downloaded is not latest, it was version v80012T_20110809_x64. But I guess the latest may also do the job.

  • Bluetooth mouse stops working when adding a printer: 10.10.2

    Hi,
    I'm using a MacBook Pro 2012 Retina, upgraded to 10.10.2.  Since upgrading to 10.10.2 I have been unable to connect to my Canon MG6150 that is plugged into the USB port of the Time Capsule (3TB).  Those problems will be detailed in a separate post.
    I have tried deleting the printer and creating a new printer and when I click on the + and get the window to select a printer, the bluetooth mouse stops working - the message comes up to show "Connection Lost".  I have to select the printer manually and only when I have returned to the main Printer window in Settings & Preferences does the mouse connection work again.
    Weird.  Between this and not being able to set up the scanning features again (that used to work), I'm feeling underwhelmed...

    sounds like an IRQ conflict. See if disabling plug and play in the bios solves it. Arch's kernel provides this already.

  • Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair with more than one device at a time?

    Is there a stereo bluetooth headset that can pair, i.e. multipoint, with more than one device at a time?
    Are the MacBook and iPhone 4 capable of multipoint bluetooth technoloagy?
    The goal is for my wife to be able to watch her Korean TV soap operas on her MacBook and still receive a call on her iPhone 4 via a stereo bluetooth headset.
    I was looking at the Motorola S10-HD but after further review saw that it only pairs with one device at a time.
    Appreciate any and all input. My Googling has returned no results.

    You can only pair one device at a time to your 8330, or any other phone for that matter.  The "pairings" are saved to the phone, you can use one or the other and you won't have to pair it again.  Once you turn your bluetooth device on and the phone is on, they will find each other again.
    Hope this helps,

  • Bluetooth mouse not working in Mavericks

    Hello
    After upgrading to OS X Mavericks, my bluetooth mouse stopped working. The OS can see the bluetooth mouse and it connects to it, but after "mouse connected" it doesn't work, i get no mouse response at all. Tried some other users solutions but none of them work. I've tried the bluetooth mouse in other computers and it is working fine.

    Restart the computer holding down the command - option/alt - P - R keys before the gray screen appears. Continue to hold until you hear the startup chime for the second time.
    Reset NVRAM/PRAM
    Try a SMC reset. The article covers when this is required, but doing this will not affect anything.

  • Is there a security surveillance system that works with a MacBook Pro or iPod touch?

    Is there a security surveillance system that works with a MacBook Pro or iPod Touch?

    Problem is most vehicles can't supply enough power to charge a MacBook Pro battery, not without placing a generator in the engine compartment someplace like police cars and campers have.
    Apple provides the MagSafe Airline Adapter but it's designed for 15V, not the 12V of vehicles, then it's only to keep the battery from discharging on airplanes, it won't charge it.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB441Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDEwMQ&mco=MTA4NDE2Mjc
    "It's designed for 15V DC that you find on airplanes. If you are the DIY type, you can make your own 15V DC automotive socket by using an automotive universal laptop supply to step up the car's 12V to 15V"
    I found this online:
    http://www.365laptop.us/product_info.php?language=en&currency=USD&products_id=10 64
    Notice the device says:
    "Input: 11-14V DC 8Amp MAX "   - Cars are 12V DC.
    Output: -DC 15V.... the same as the Airline Adapter
    Looks like one needs to cut and splice the two parts/wires one needs together.
    This 12V to 15V conversion is a lot better/streamlined than trying to upconvert 12V DC to a whopping 120 AC and then your Mac's power brick is downconverting 120AC to what it needs in DC to try to charge the battery which the vehicle can't supply the wattage for anyway.
    Apple has a patent on the MagSafe adapter, they don't provide a 12V to 15V converter + MagSafe adaptor for the car. It would be nice if they did though.

    http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/
    I'm pretty certain that I got my version of stuffit, which has worked excellently on my Intel MBP, from that site. I downloaded it around the time when I first got the laptop, so I'm pretty sure that's the site.
    If it's not let me know and I can give you links to a different site, or I can just e-mail you the installer file directly.
    If it doesn't work for any other reason, or does the encrypted thing that you stated, let me know I'll look into it.

    deggie is correct; BT only works with some headphones and keyboards. You'd have to invest in one of the 3rd party apps in the App Store to get your printing done.

  • Has anyone found a Bluetooth Headset that works with Skype?

    I have been reading reviews and I can't find anyone who has found a Bluetooth headset that successfully works with Skype with Leopard...
    anyone?

    Hi there...
    I have the Jabra BT125 and I have a new Mac Book Pro on it's way. The headset is actually something I already had for my cell phone. And now I'm hoping to use it for skype as well. What I think I lack is the Blue Tooth adapter. I was looking for one that I can power via USB rather than the ones you have to charge. I also have a logitech V320 optical mouse. Do you think the blue tooth adapter can run both the mouse and the headset as not to take up too many USB ports at the same time? (I envision my computer eventually resembling that guy from He11 Raiser! with all the pins sticking out of it) Anyway... Jabra says the BT125 supports Bluetooth version 2. I'm not sure if the mouse is similar or not... (I'm actually really new to all this lingo and I just assume the wireless capability of the mouse is bluetooth... The specs say it's a "microreceiver") Any comments, experiences or suggestions are really appreciated... thanks!!!
